Fans slam Britney Spears’ ex-husband as he says her father ‘saved her life’ with conservatorship
Fans have slammed Britney Spears‘ ex-husband Kevin Federline after he claimed her father Jamie Spears ‘saved her life’ with her controversial conservatorship.
During an interview on 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday night, the 44-year-old former backup dancer said he believes that the move, which left Britney, 40, without control over her life, career or finances, was necessary for the singer.
‘This is really poorly researched. Really factually incorrect. And tells a very edited version of the situation from the side that controlled, assisted and benefited from the conservatorship. This is toxic,’ one viewer Tweeted.

‘Believing this man is a mistake. All Kevin worries about is money. He was one of the reasons for Britney’s spiral. All Kevin wants is to make money off Britney. He doesn’t care about her wellbeing,’ another agreed.
A third wrote: ‘You choose to stay ignorant because it makes you feel better about your involvement in the conservatorship. They used those kids through you to keep her in it.’
‘It’s pretty bad. You make the conservatorship look justified. They stole hundreds of millions from her. It’s fraud and enslavement,’ another commented.

During the interview, Federline was asked if Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, 70, made the right decision in enacting the conservatorship.
‘One hundred percent I feel like he saved her back then,’ Federline told the program during the candid chat.
Federline however admitted he was not involved in any of the details concerning the conservatorship and wasn’t privy to the ultimate reasoning for it being installed.

‘I wasn’t involved in any of it how the conservatorship came about. I don’t know. They were worried about their daughter and trying to do whatever they can to help her. That’s all that I knew,’ he admitted.
The former performer says the couple’s sons Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, were ‘happy’ for their mother when her conservatorship ended.
‘Both of them were so happy for her, you know? Because it’s not always about what’s right. It’s about this is what mum wanted, you know, mum got,’ he said.

Kevin insisted that it’s important for his sons to have a close relationship with their grandparents, Britney’s father Jamie and mother, Lynne, 67, as well as her uncle.
‘They’re my kids’ immediate family, you know. That’s their grandfather and their grandmother and their uncle,’ he said.
‘I feel that it’s very important that they have relationships with all of them, regardless of what happens.’
Federline and Spears only dated for three months in 2004 before they got engaged in July of that year, and they were married by September.
Britney gave birthday to Sean in September of 2005, and Jayden followed around a year later in 2006, but the pop star filed for divorce in November 2006, with it being finalised the following year.
