Britney Spears' father Jamie Spears has had a leg amputated following an infection.
A source told Page Six that, “He had a knee replacement and got a terrible infection from it.” The amputation happened last month and it was a result of “multiple unsuccessful surgeries” and was the “last resort.”
Back in 2019, the businessman ruptured his colon and required him to have two emergency surgeries according to Us Weekly.
Britney Spears Speaks On Relationship With Jamie Spears In Memoir
It's no secret that Britney has had an estranged relationship with her father. He was the conservator of Britney’s estate from 2008 until September 2021. She details how her upbringing with her father and her conservatorship affected her relationship with him in her book The Woman in Me.
“The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me,” Britney wrote.
While Jamie was in control of her finances and personal life during those 13 years, Britney claims he also made body-shaming comments towards her and repeatedly called her fat.
“I’d been eyeballed so much growing up, I’d been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager. Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back,” she writes in her upcoming memoir ‘The Woman In Me.' “But under the conservatorship I was made to understand that those days were now over. I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medication they told me to take.”
Spears continued: “If I thought getting criticized about my body in the press was bad, it hurt even more from my own father. He repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it.”
According to a source per Us Weekly, a relationship with her father is beyond repair.
“There’s no hope of reconciliation for Britney and Jamie, but Britney’s thankful things are on the mend with her mom.”
The Woman In Me is out now.
