Britney Spears has been under her father's tutelage since 2008. A documentary gave the Free Britney movement a new impetus. But Jamie Spears' attorney emphasizes his fatherly love.


In an interview that was broadcast on ABC's "Good Morning America" ​​program, Jamie Spears' attorney commented on discussions about her client's guardianship of his daughter Britney.

This was recently brought up again in a documentary by the New York Times entitled “Framing Britney Spears”.

For Vivian Thoreen, the lawyer, Jamie Spears is above all a "passionately loving, committed and loyal father" who prevented his daughter from being exploited financially.

By taking over the guardianship in 2008, the lawyer said, Jamie Spears saved Britney from a life-threatening situation.

According to lawyer Thoreen, the financial assets of Britney Spears - after all one of the greatest pop stars of her era - were only 2.8 million dollars in 2008.

Under the aegis of her father, it had increased to 60 million by 2019.

When asked about the documentary, Vivian Thoreen said on the TV show, "I understand that every story needs a villain."

To the fans who are calling for an end to guardianship under the slogan "Free Britney", she said: "People are so wrong about this."

Britney Spears' attempt to end her guardianship in court in November had failed.

Jamie Spears has to share it with an external company.

Her lawyer had testified in the process that his client was "afraid of her father".

Confronted with this statement by the ABC journalist, attorney Thoreen referred to Britney Spears' two-week stay in Louisiana at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic crisis, during which father Jamie Spears of the assembled family

and played Britney with her niece.

The lawyer showed pictures of the alleged family idyll and emphasized that at no time had Britney Spears expressed the wish to be released from guardianship.

When asked why Britney Spears' lawyer said that the daughter and father no longer spoke to each other, Vivian Thoreen replied: "You should ask Britney."

Most recently, US actress Mara Wilson expressed her solidarity with Britney Spears in an article for the New York Times.

Wilson, herself a child star through roles in such films as "Mrs.

Doubtfire, "describes the process of how girls and young women who are becoming famous are systematically removed from control of their fate - including through sexualization:" We both had dolls and we both had close friends and partners, ours Divulging secrets, and grown men commenting on our bodies.
