Britney Spears and her dad, Jamie Spears, have had a complex father-daughter relationship. For 13 years, Jamie controlled the singer's life and money due to the conservatorship Britney was legally bound to.

In 2021, a judge ended the conservatorship, freeing Britney from her dad's control. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny ousted Jamie as conservator of Britney's estate, stating that this ruling was in the best interest of the singer.

Britney had been fighting privately to get out of the conservatorship and only went public in a court hearing on June 23, 2021. The singer accused Jamie of drugging her and forcing her to work against her will.

The "Toxic Pony" singer called for the judge to jail her father because of his treatment towards her under the conservatorship, including forcing her to take birth control. Britney's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, also told the court that the singer had been afraid of her dad since she was young.

Mathew described Britney's dad as a "cruel, toxic, and abusive man." However, Jamie insisted he was only working in his daughter's best interest ever since she was placed under conservatorship in 2008, with him as the conservator.

Jamie learned about Britney's plans for reconciliation talks and was elated.
