Britney Spears’ dad claims down on Britney’s social life again

Britney Spears‘ dad Jamie Spears is reportedly worried he’s losing control of the star again.

After she was hospitalised twice in less than a month for mental health issues at the start of 2008, Jamie was appointed Britney’s legal conservator in February, meaning he had full control over her estate, social life and medical treatment. The situation worked well to start with - with Britney cut off from bad influences, regaining access to her sons and starting work on what would become her latest album ‘Circus’ - but lately, the star has said the situation is “worse than jail” because she doesn’t know when her sentence will end.

A source close to the family told the People newspaper that Jamie worries he gave her too much freedom too soon - and now he’s pulling it all back, firing her personal staff, confiscating her mobile phone and ordering her new rumoured boyfriend Sandip Soparrkar to stay away from her.

The source explained: “He is at his wits end over Britney’s behaviour. He’s decided he’s got no option but to take total control over her life to stop her hitting rock bottom again.

“[He’s fired her cook, cleaners and childminders because] he fears they might do the dirty on Britney. She’s annoyed but Jamie is determined to do the right thing even if it isn’t what she wants.

“She is very vulnerable at the moment.”

Britney is said to have agreed to the continuation of her dad’s conservatorship to allow her to go on a large scale tour this year.
