Britney Spears’ family drama continues to intensify as her dad, Jamie Spears, has filed legal documents, asking a judge to depose his daughter for “untrue” claims she made about the way he handled her conservatorship. As fans will already be aware, the “Toxic” singer’s 13-year court-ordered arrangement was terminated in November, just months after Britney claimed her family had taken advantage of her by allegedly forcing her to do things against her will, and if she didn’t obey, she was punished to extreme measures.
In July 2021, Britney told a judge how she had been “traumatized” by what they had put her through, claiming she was “forced” to use an IUD because her conservators were against the idea of her having more children. She had also alleged being put on the psychiatric drug lithium, which constantly left her feeling “drunk,” despite her persistent pleas to be taken off the medication. The mother of two further accused Jamie of pushing her to work against her will, disallowing her the right to drive her own car, and having little to no communication with friends.

And since the conservatorship ended, the pop star has taken to social media on countless occasions to speak out against her relatives, particularly her father, who is now said to be using Britney’s Instagram posts in an effort to depose her for the supposed false allegations she’s made about him to her fans.
Britney has reportedly refused to cooperate with Jamie’s wishes, with her attorney Mathew Rosengart arguing that the deposition is only coming about now that she’s looking to sue everyone who did her wrong during her conservatorship. In the motion filed by Jamie’s legal team, they state that by California law, his daughter must sit for a deposition, even though her counsel is believed to have contended that he can get the information he wants from her through the help of other parties.
Jamie, per Radar Online, also shed light on the controversial New York Times documentary, “Framing Britney Spears,” which included testimonies from former staff members, who added fuel to fire by insisting that the Grammy winner was not only heavily supervised, her bedroom was allegedly bugged so that conservators could listen in on her private affairs.
To that, Jamie’s attorneys wrote, “The court has not made any findings against Jamie nor has Britney’s counsel proven any of these allegations with admissible evidence in a Court of law. And, of course, New York Times articles are neither evidence of wrongdoing nor a window into Britney’s personal knowledge about any of her allegations.”
Jamie is adamant of pushing for Britney for a deposition to “prove with admissible evidence that Britney’s allegations are untrue and dispel Britney’s accusations regarding the administration of her Estate.”
