In a new interview, a former friend of the Spears family claims that Jamie Spears even labeled the 'Oops!...I Did It Again' hitmaker 'a w***e and a terrible mother.'

AceShowbiz - Britney Spears' father might have put constant pressure on the singer. Just less than two months after the "Oops!...I Did It Again" hitmaker was released from an emergency psychiatric hold, Jamie Spears reportedly fat-shamed her.
Bringing up the claims was a former friend of the Spears family, Jacqueline Butcher. "Jamie said, 'Baby,' " Jacqueline recalled in an interview with The New Yorker. "And I thought he was going to say, 'We love you, but you need help.' But what he said was 'You're fat. Daddy's gonna get you on a diet and a trainer, and you're gonna get back in shape.' "
Jacqueline said at that time, Britney was watching TV with her mom Lynne Spears. She then detailed that Jamie pointed at the TV and told her daughter, "You see that TV over there? You know what it's going to say in eight weeks? That's gonna be you on there, and they're gonna say, 'She's back.' "
Jacqueline went on to claim that "Jamie wore [Britney] down." She elaborated, "He would get all in her face-spittle was flying-telling her she was a w***e and a terrible mother... Lynne was just, like, 'Obey Daddy and they'll let you out.' "
The story came less than two weeks after Britney dropped her explosive testimony regarding her 13-year-long conservatorship. "The control he had to hurt his own daughter - he loved it. I worked seven days a week," the ex-wife of Kevin Federline told a judge in a court hearing. "It was like sex trafficking."
"I would honestly like to sue my family, to be totally honest with you," the mother of two went on stressing. "My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management... they should be in jail."
Britney is now in her fight to have her father removed as her sole conservator. Although a judge denied her lawyer's request regarding the matter, she reportedly "is not backing down." A source further told Entertainment Tonight, "She is ready to fight this fight. She is feeling confident and strong and wants her voice to be heard."
