Britney Spears ‘Blames’ Father for Trauma, Won’t ‘Forgive and Forget,’ Source Says

Britney Spears reportedly still harbors deep resentment toward her father, Jamie Spears, following the end of their tumultuous relationship during the 13-year conservatorship that controlled every aspect of her life. Despite the conservatorship being terminated in 2021 after Britney accused her father of “conservatorship abuse,” it seems that healing the rift between father and daughter remains a complicated matter.

An insider told In Touch, “[Britney] blames him for a lot of her issues,” adding, “She has so much trauma.” The source explained that, while Britney’s sons remain close to their grandfather, they likely hope to see her reconcile with Jamie, though it’s far from a simple process.

The singer reportedly felt “sad” when Jamie had to undergo a leg amputation this year, but sources say her emotions are mixed, with one noting, “It’s not that simple to just forgive and forget the way he destroyed her life. It’s an extremely complicated and painful situation.”

Another source offered a blunt assessment of Jamie’s current situation: “He’s a pretty sad old man and at this point, it seems like he’ll probably go to his grave with Britney hating him.” On the other hand, the insider shared Jamie’s perspective, stating, “For his part, he feels pretty misunderstood and still insists that he did what he had to do to save her life.”

Despite his actions being viewed as controlling and abusive by his daughter, Jamie continues to justify his role in her conservatorship, believing it was necessary for her well-being. The ongoing tension between Britney and Jamie highlights the deep scars left by the years of legal and personal battles, with Britney still processing the trauma caused by the conservatorship. While she may feel sympathy for her father’s health struggles, it appears that forgiveness is not something she is ready to offer, and the emotional distance remains firmly in place.
