Britney Spears dad, Jamie Spears, has spoken out against an ongoing theory that his daughter is being controlled.

Over the weekend, the elder Spears talked to the New York Post about the #FreeBritney movement thats bubbled up all over the internet and insisted: All these conspiracy theorists dont know anything. The world dont have a clue.

Since 2008, after Britney Spears was was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital, her father and attorney Andrew Wallet were given a temporary conservatorship over the pop star that has since become permanent. The conservatorship means that the singers financial affairs and daily life is managed by someone else.

The hashtag #FreeBritney was created as part of on ongoing effort and plea from fans to remove that conservatorship, which many believe is holding the singer hostage. While fans have been calling for Britney Spears freedom since the conservatorship took effect, the movement exploded over the last few months as fans have spent a lot of time in lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus watching and rewatching many of Britneys videos to look for coded messaging. As a result, theyve come up with all sorts of explanations for Britneys behavior on Twitter and TikTok .

Jamie Spears stepped down from his role in the conservatorship last year, leading to his daughters care manager, Jodi Montgomery, to step in. A hearing had been scheduled for July 22 to observe the status of conservatorship, but was reportedly thwarted by Zoombombers popping into the confidential Zoom call about the issue . The judge postponed the hearing as those not legally involved were in attendance. Seen below, many protesters showed up outside a Los Angeles courthouse on the day of the hearing to share their thoughts on the conservatorship.
