Lynne Spears is finally making public her opinion on Britney's conservatorship and Britney’s struggles with her father, Jamie Spears, who is among her primary conservators. Lynne has been silent on Britney’s conservatorship from the very beginning, and as such, her recent legal stand against Britney’s conservatorship is noteworthy.   

A new court filing submitted by Britney’s lawyer includes damning statements by the popstar’s mother against Britney’s father, and conservator, Jamie Spears. Lynne Spears's statement in Britney’s conservatorship case goes against the grain, with Lynne Spears being a largely silent spectator to Britney’s conservatorship since its inception thirteen years ago.  

In the latest court filing by Britney’s lawyer, Lynne Spears’ evaluation of Jamie’s position as conservator is far from flattering. The popstar’s mother’s legal declaration quite simply supports Britney’s petition to have her father, Jamie Spears, removed from the conservatorship, with damaging allegations directed at Jamie Spears.  

In a court statement obtained by The Insider, Lynne Spears wrote, "Since this conservatorship has been in place, the relationship between the conservatee and Mr. Spears has dwindled to nothing but fear and hatred of Mr. Spears by the conservatee due to Mr. Spears' behavior,".

Lynne elaborates on Jamie’s controlling behavior, stating, "his mistrust of her, his coercion of her, his 'bartering' with her over what she can and cannot do for whatever reward or punishment he is willing to mete out, his constant threats, and his decision-making over all aspects of her life." 

Here are few among the most damning statements made by Lynne Spears in her June 22nd statement:  

  1. According to Lynne, Britney "was being treated by a sports enhancement doctor hired by Mr. Spears; the doctor in question was a psychiatrist who was prescribing what I and many others thought to be entirely inappropriate medicine to my daughter, who did not want to take the medicine." 
  1. "I witnessed my daughter be compelled by that doctor, with the knowledge and encouragement of Mr. Spears, to enter a health facility that she did not want to enter, where she was threatened with punishment if she did not stay for medical treatment that she did not want to endure." 
  1. "Mr. Spears has relied on members of the conservatee's household staff, medical aides on site at the conservatee's home, and her own security detail to inform on and report back to him each and every detail of every action that takes place in the conservatee's home and her life. Such scrutiny is exhausting and terrifying, like living in custody." 
  1. "Of the actions that solidified the failure of my daughter's and Mr. Spears' relationship, the physical altercation between Mr. Spears and the conservatee's minor children, my grandchildren, was perhaps the most appalling and inexcusable, and understandably destroyed whatever was left of a relationship between them." 
  1. "It is clear to me that James P. Spears is incapable of putting my daughter's interests ahead of his own on both a professional and a personal level," the statement concluded, "and that his being and remaining a conservator of my daughter's estate is not in the best interests of my daughter." 

In the next hearing scheduled for September 9th, the presiding judge will decide on Britney’s petition to have her father, Jamie Spears, removed from the conservatorship arrangement.
