“I hope hell treats him like he is in conservatorship. The devil can torture him,” posted another. A second person agreed.
“Put him under Conservatorship. He is a danger to himself and could harm his career. Itās for his own good. He doesnāt want to lose the kids or not be able to see them. We have to ensure he canāt harm himself by making his own decisions,” they wrote following his hospitalization news.

“She feels betrayed that her sister is putting up her dad and allowing him to watch her kids after what he did to her,” a tipster told Daily Mail.

Britney and her dad have been at odds for years. Her fans’ aggression towards Jamie only grew after they heard the pop star’s shocking testimony over her conservatorship, in which she revealed he wouldn’t let her remove her IUD when she wanted to have a baby.
Britney celebrated when her conservatorship finally came to an end in November 2021.
“Good God I love my fans so much itās crazy,” she posted at the time. “I think Iām gonna cry the rest of the day!!! Best day ever ā¦ praise the Lord ā¦ can I get an Amen????”
