Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, has spoken out about his struggle to re-gain control in her life for the first time since taking over as her conservator in February.
Spears have kept no secrets, speaking candidly about the custody battle, what he thinks of Britney’s ex, Kevin Federline, and how his relationship with his daughter is today.
“We’ve grown a lot,” Mr. Spears told OK! magazine. “I’ve been able to come back into my daughter’s life, and that was an adjustment anyway, because I’m an alcoholic and it’s the first time we’ve really been able to share.”
On the custody battle: “It made no sense for that trial to proceed so we worked out an agreement. The agreement says that on Oct. 1 we’ll probably get another overnight, and that will stay in place until the end of the year or the end of the conservatorship.”
On Kevin Federline: “Kevin has a wonderful heart. I don’t agree with giving him more money… He wants them to raise these kids together. Kevin’s heart is right.”
On the conservatorship: “I would hope that it stands until the end of the year, and then we’ll sit back and evaluate where we are at the time, where Britney is at that time.”
Jamie added that while the taking over of the conservatorship by her father was a “major adjustment” for Britney, it’s been a blessing in disguise, and has given them both a second chance to grow together and re-build their father-daughter relationship.
“It’s wonderful. It’s new for both of us,” he said. “She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But, like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot.
“I do understand that my baby made this monster,” he added. “But when she was down, people took advantage.”
