Brit's Dad Pays Himself -- Out of Her Money!

211. "7. I feel so terrible for her! Everyone just treats her like she is a walking bank account. Leave her alone! She needs people in her life that arent out for her money, and will be good role models for her."

...Umm, not that I have experience, but YOU try being Britney's father for a week. At 26, she should be taking care of herself, but it has been deemed by the courts that she needs help doing so (thus the conservatorship). Mr. Spears has a life and business of his own that he must take time off from in order to help his daughter, thus, he's losing money. It's only fair that he be compensated, and $2,500 a week for Britney? That's chump change. Sure, he wasn't forced to be named conservator, and sure, it was a request he made, the reason he made that decision is because he could see that he was the only stable person in Britney's life that would put their foot down and be stern with her in order to help her.

It seems that when anyone else in Britney's life tries to offer a ray of rationality they are struck down, told to shut up, and are drop kicked. A conservatorship prevents her from doing this, and at least attempts to curb the self-destructiveness.

212. Please .... give this man a break. This amount will not cover his costs of living, his expenses, etc. He could be receiving so much more...... drop in te bucket. I see him as a father struggling to do what he can. Note: anyone, including Federline's previous wife, say that he is an incredible dad. Everyone needs to back off....

213. Personally I think this is crap. Has anyone stopped to think that because of everyone being up in her business and always being harassed by the paps no wonder she has had problems. If she was an a nonfamous person she would not have any of the crap happen to her that has happened. She is a human being that has been taken advantage of. Now everyone seems to be making money off of her that they do not deserve.

214. People keep saying this is a fraction of the cost a professional conservator would charge. But, a professional conservator would be doing more than babysitting they would be managing her assets, legal matters and business. Her father is NOT I repeat NOT doing these things. A business manager, accountant, ect... are handling all the matters of estate her father is doing nothing but controlling her life he should not be paid for anything other than being a care taker since that is all he is actually doing.

I hope that once Britney is free from this shame she sues her father for the MILLIONS in legal and business fees this stupid conservatorship has cost her. If anyone has drained her estate it has been her father.

I'm still shocked that her father had it arranged that she not be premitted to even meet with her custody lawyer that is beyond ridiculous. Her father is an idiot it's pretty clear where she gets her lack of brains.

I think we all know that as soon as Britney is free to live her own life again she will stop taking her medication and go right back to being Britney Skankears. Her parents are fighting a losing battle that is costing their child millions while lining their own pockets and completely alienating her. I can realistically see Britney never wanting anything to do with either of her parents after his dabacale. If anyone is to blame for how pitifully the Spears girls have turned out they need only look at themselves.

215.
The people who think it's okay for a parent to be paid for "taking care" of his adult daughter who apparently has a "mental illness" are the same people who think it's okay to loot their parents savings accounts while they are in nursing homes.

And, for all you idiots how keep saying "I manage this persons estate....blah blah....." Jamie ISN'T managing Britney's estate he's not even taking care of her. He's using her money to pay people to do everything. He isn't doing anything other than sitting in LA making himself rich and making Britney hate him more than she did before. YOU may be running someone's estate but Jaime is not.

Britney's estate exists to server HER not her father, mother or even her children (yeah look up the law). If she wants to blow 2500 in bubble gum in a day that is her right. So what if she bought a car, a pool or spent a few hundred on new make up. That's pretty normal for a celebrity.

When did it become okay to take control of someone's life because they are bipolar. I know for a fact that it certainly isn't legal and how they got anyone with a degree to declare that she was GD is beyond me. She can't feed herself? Apparently every busy single person and college student with money should watch out if your greedy parents find out you're eating fast food or having your chef prepare your meals you're suddenly incapable of obtaining food. Incapable of finding shelter? Are you serious everyone with a computer can see that Britney managed to find one of her homes or an expensive hotel room every night. Did I miss the pictures of Britney sleeping in the Amtrak station or under an over pass? I'm pretty sure making sure you have a full household staff and a business manager to take care of everything so you don't doesn't make you GD on the contrary it just makes you lazy.

The fact that the first thing her loser dad did was take control not of her but her money shows what kind of person he really is.

217. Glad to hear this. I'd rather see the money go to him no matter what the judge allows him. Better in the long run. Al

218. It says he CAN draw the word being CAN. Life has gotten a lot better for her since her father has been involved, so even if he took the money it is worth it I am sure all these magazines just hate that her life isn't as terrible anymore for them to be able to make all their millions too.

219. $2,500 a week is cheap for the poor guy. Britney's dad has two screwed up daughters and needs some cash to support himself where he can keep a leash on the two daughters. Dad has Britney who has a boatload of mental health issues and then the younger daughter who cannot keep her little legs closed. Watching out for those two bimbos is a full time job!!

220. Awave....You are so RIGHT......Who took care of Britney when she had no money? Her parents & her parents are the only ones who would be there again if she had no money. The people who think she is being treated so badly because her father is keeping her sheltered & away from the vultures are just people who are weak & spineless themselves.
