The Spears family became even more fractured. Britney’s sons had spent most of their lives with the father, Kevin (who appears to have cleaned up his act somewhat), and in August of 2019, Federline filed a police report against Jamie Spears. The allegations included Jamie being abusive toward Sean. Jamie avoided charges, but the details are frightful.
It started with an argument, and then Jamie broke down a door to get to Sean. Despite being Britney’s weekend to see the boys, she immediately sent them back to their father. Grandpa Jamie got a three-year restraining order from seeing either Sean or his brother Jayden.
Back in the Ward
After her father's hospitalization, his lawyer's accusations, and constant legal battles, Spears once again found herself hospitalized in a psychiatric facility in 2019. The reason given was that she was under great stress due to her father's near-death, but a lot of people are trying to read deeper.
In May of 2019, Britney stated that her father had forced her into the mental facility and forced her to take certain medications. When this information – true or not – reached fans, the controversy deepened, and plenty of people started rallying around her, trying to help her.
The Hashtag
It didn't take long for Britney to get out of the psychiatric facility, and soon after, she made a video assuring fans that she was going to be okay. Fans seemed not to get the message, and a hashtag sprang up: #FreeBritney. It was dedicated to getting Spears out from under her conservatorship and away from her father – their relationship remained as complicated as ever.
Plenty of big names and celebrities jumped on the hashtag train to help get Britney her life back. People like Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton, and Cher all voiced their support for this groundbreaking artist's emancipation, and fans even held a protest outside of West Hollywood City Hall.
Ten Long Years
More than ten years after being made Britney's conservator, Jamie Spears was finally investigated. After a closed-door hearing, a judge ordered an investigation, stating anyone with Spears' control would fall under a watchful eye. On September fifthת 2019, Jamie Spears filed papers in Los Angeles to be relieved of the role temporarily, for health reasons.
A judge approved the request and appointed Jodi Montgomery, Britney's caregiver, as his replacement. Since then, Spears has filed paperwork to get her father removed permanently as her conservator. She's hoping that Montgomery, who at the very least isn't her father, will have control over her finances.
Enter Sam
A relationship that ad everybody's hopes up for Britney is the one she had with Sam Asghari. Spears first got together with the model and personal trainer from Iran in 2016 and they seemed blissfully happy for quite a while. By that point, Britney has probably taught herself to be careful with who she attaches herself to, but Sam had Spears's best interest at heart.
Was he going to be the guy that she'd finally settle down and grow old with? It is something she deserves more than anyone. Plus, everybody knows that working out is great for your mental health, and who better than a personal trainer to keep you active?
