Britney Spears’s father has been seen for the first time since they settled their long-running legal battle over the end of the infamous conservatorship which controlled almost every aspect of her life for more than a decade, Daily Mail reports.
In exclusive pictures and video obtained by DailyMail, Britney Spears’s father can be seen in a wheelchair as he visits a medical centre some 40 minutes from his home in Kentwood, Louisiana.
Britney Spears’s father Jamie’s right leg was amputated above the knee at the end of last year after he was struck down by a bacterial infection that landed him in hospital and nearly cost him his life.
Now, these images show the toll that illness and years of battling with his famous daughter have taken on the once robust Jamie who has not been pictured in public since the end of last year.
Earlier, Jamie visited two drive-thru pharmacies in Kentwood, the small Louisiana town that once proudly advertised itself as the birthplace of Britney Spears but where those signs are now long gone.
Driven by a woman who appeared to be his care-taker Jamie sat in the passenger seat as the pair spent several minutes at the window of two drive-thru pharmacies before driving to the Dollar Store on the outskirts of town.
Jamie, whose mobility is now severely limited, remained in the vehicle while his helper ran errands.
The pair then made the 40-minute drive from Kentwood to Hammond, some 35 miles away where Spears had an appointment at North Oaks Medical Centre’s Diagnostic Centre.
On arrival at the centre his aid fetched Jamie the wheelchair on which he now relies and pushed him through the facility’s double doors.
He emerged by himself some 20 minutes later, wheeling the chair to his waiting vehicle and wearing blue tape on his left arm suggesting that he had blood drawn during the brief appointment.
It is two months since Jamie and his daughter reached a settlement over lingering issues concerning the end of the conservatorship that controlled nearly every aspect of her life for almost 14 years.
The settlement meant the avoidance of what many had predicted would be a long, ugly and revealing trial over final payments to the attorneys who helped operate the conservatorship and alleged financial malfeasance and excessive surveillance of Britney by her father.It is two months since Jamie and his daughter reached a settlement over lingering issues concerning the end of the conservatorship that controlled nearly every aspect of her life for almost 14 years.
