Britney Spears’ conservator begs dad Jamie to ‘stop the attacks’ as he claims there is ‘no grounds’ for rule to be removed

Britney Spears’ conservator Jodi Montgomery has begged her father, Jamie Spears, to stop ‘attacking’ her and ‘misrepresenting’ a phone call between them. 

Ms Montgomery who currently has responsibility for all decisions about Britney’s person, claimed Jamie is ‘manipulating’ the conversation they had in order to get a ‘tactical advantage’ in court as Britney battles to get the conservatorship rule she has been under since 2008 removed. 

Jamie had claimed in a court document that Montgomery had discussed a 5150 psychiatric hold as a possibility for the singer, which Ms Montgomery denies.

The statement, released to 'People' by Ms Montgomery’s attorney Lauriann Wright, claims: ‘Ms. Montgomery is saddened that her telephone call to Mr. Spears, made out of genuine concern for Ms. Spears, and intended to re-establish a working relationship with Mr. Spears towards Ms. Spears’ mental health and well-being, is now being misrepresented and manipulated to gain some sort of tactical advantage in the pending proceedings to remove him as Conservator.

‘We all need to focus on one thing, and one thing only – the health, well-being and best interests of Britney Spears.’

The statement comes after Jamie filed a court document opposing Britney’s request that he be removed from his role as conservator ‘immediately’. 

The statement adds; ‘It is in Ms. Spears’ best interests that her father step down as her Conservator, so he can go back to just being Ms. Spears’ father, and working on a healthy, supportive father-daughter relationship.

‘Mr. Spears’ declaration misrepresents what Ms. Montgomery said to him in relation to a potential 5150 psychiatric hold for Ms. Spears.  At no time did Ms. Montgomery express to Mr. Spears that Ms. Spears would currently qualify for such a hold.

‘The concern that Ms. Montgomery did raise to Mr. Spears during their telephone call is that forcing Ms. Spears to take the stand to testify or to have her evaluated would move the needle in the wrong direction for her mental health.
