As for Jamie, he doesn’t seem as thrilled with the way things have played out. He issued a statement on Sept. 30 via his attorney, Vivan Thoreen. “Mr. Spears loves his daughter Britney unconditionally,” the statement began. “For thirteen years, he has tried to do what is in her best interests, whether as a conservator or her father.“ The statement went on to say anyone with mental health issues “can appreciate the tremendous amount of daily worry and work this required.”
“These facts make the outcome of yesterday’s hearing all the more disappointing, and frankly, a loss for Britney,” the statement continued. “Respectfully, the court was wrong to suspend Mr. Spears, put a stranger in his place to manage Britney’s estate, and extend the very conservatorship that Britney begged the court to terminate earlier this summer.”
Jamie concluded his statement by saying he still hopes for the best for Britney. “Despite the suspension, Mr. Spears will continue to look out for the best interests of his daughter and work in good faith towards a positive resolution of all matters,” the statement, signed by Thoreen, concluded.
Separately, countless celebrities like Cher and Dionne Warwick spoke out after the verdict and celebrated Britney’s newfound freedom. As she enters a new chapter, it’s good to know she has friends in high places on her side.
