Britney Spears’ father Jamie was granted permanent conservatorship of Britney’s affairs earlier this week. Initially he had been granted control on a temporary basis after her second hospitalization in January and it was set to expire on December 31st.
After consulting Britney’s mental health records, her attorney stated that she did not have any objection to having it extended permanently. According to Us Weekly:
“The court finds the proposed permanent conservatorship is necessary and appropriate [because of the] complexities of her financial and business entities and also potential for her being susceptible to influences,” said Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz.
On the one hand it’s so hard for me to imagine a grown woman letting her father control so much of her life, but on the other it seems like it’s been working. Before he took over, Britney was spinning out of control. When he stepped in, things calmed down for her, she got the help she needed, and she began getting better again. Now she has her sons back in her life, won a bunch of VMA awards, has a number one song, a killer video, an album coming out, and a world tour to put together.
Clearly Britney’s life has improved drastically since her father took charge and he seems to have her absolute best interests in mind (unlike some other stage parents out there). It seems like this is the best solution for everyone.
