“I hope hell treats him like he is in conservatorship. The devil can torture him,” posted another. A second person agreed.
“Put him under Conservatorship. He is a danger to himself and could harm his career. It’s for his own good. He doesn’t want to lose the kids or not be able to see them. We have to ensure he can’t harm himself by making his own decisions,” they wrote following his hospitalization news.
Jamie’s illness comes days after a report claimed that Britney was “furious” with her sister Jamie Lynn after the actress let their dad live with her after another alleged failed stint in rehab for alcoholism.
“She feels betrayed that her sister is putting up her dad and allowing him to watch her kids after what he did to her,” a tipster told Daily Mail.

Insiders claim he’s “lost more than 25 pounds.”

Britney and her dad have been at odds for years. Her fans’ aggression towards Jamie only grew after they heard the pop star’s shocking testimony over her conservatorship, in which she revealed he wouldn’t let her remove her IUD when she wanted to have a baby.
Britney celebrated when her conservatorship finally came to an end in November 2021.
“Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy,” she posted at the time. “I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day!!! Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen????”
