LOS ANGELES, July 1 ― Jamie Spears, father of Britney Spears, has asked for an investigation of the pop superstar's claims that she had been mistreated under a legal conservatorship by being denied the ability to make her own medical decisions.
Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship since she suffered a mental health breakdown in 2008. Thesinger told a Los Angeles judge last week that she had been forced to take the drug lithium against her will and was prohibited from marrying or removing a birth control device, and that she wanted the “abusive” conservatorship to end.
Attorneys for Jamie Spears said in the new filing that he had no intention of trying to reclaim the position and was not involved in her “personal care or medical or reproductive issues.” The attorneys also asked the court to hold a hearing to investigate whether Montgomery should continue to oversee the singer's personal affairs given Britney Spears' court testimony.
