Britney Spears’ dad Jamie gets his leg amputated and is ‘not doing well’ as singer ‘considers reconciling’ with him
BRITNEY Spears’ father Jamie has had his leg amputated after fighting an infection for weeks.
The 71-year-old had reportedly had 5 unsuccessful surgeries on his leg and doctors decided the only solution was amputation.
A source told TMZ: “Jamie had a massive infection in one of his legs that landed him in a hospital for weeks.
“He had 5 unsuccessful surgeries to contain the infection, and doctors decided the only way to proceed was amputation.”
Jamie had the amputation a month ago and is “not doing well”, according to the outlet.
An insider added that Britney has softened toward her father recently following a brutal battle to leave her conservatorship.
She has reportedly admitted to missing her dad and talked about sending him money to help him out.
The 42-year-old is considering reconciling with him, TMZ reported.
A source added: “There’s nothing [Jamie] would rather have than a reconciliation with his daughter, and [he] harbors no ill will.”
Britney was finally freed from her controversial conservatorship in 2021 under which her dad, Jamie, managed her financial affairs and other aspects of her life.
It was first introduced following a mental health crisis Britney suffered in 2008.
