00:00 Britney Spears is now open to reconciling with her dad Jamie and a serious medical issue may have been a factor in her change of heart
00:07 Not even a health scare can get Britney Spears to reconcile with her estranged father
00:11 Nope, Jamie Spears has reportedly lost his leg
00:14 But sources are saying Britney still has no plans to make amends an insider tells page six that he had a knee replacement
00:21 And then in November 2023 got a terrible infection from it leading to its eventual removal
00:27 Ever since the conservatorship started coming to an end. He had a string of really bad health issues
00:33 Jamie reportedly explored every other option including multiple unsuccessful surgeries before resorting to full amputation
00:40 Unfortunately, the surgeries were unsuccessful and doctors had to amputate one of his legs
00:45 This news comes after it was reported that the 71 year old was facing serious health challenges with frequent hospital visits
00:52 Including stays at a facility for infectious disease patients the recent update brings further details on the situation
00:58 At the time sources were saying that Jamie had lost more than 25 pounds due to these health issues
01:04 Which were related to a knee replacement surgery he had back in the mid 2000s
01:08 We hear Jamie underwent multiple unsuccessful surgeries prior to the amputation, which was the last resort
01:14 Obviously, this is a pretty serious health scare, especially since losing a limb is usually the last resort
01:20 But insiders are saying that this does not mean Brittany is looking to mend their very complicated relationship
01:26 One source tells page six quote Brittany is on a healing journey
01:29 But a reconciliation with Jamie is not in the cards now
01:33 There was some speculation as to whether the dad and daughter relationship could ever heal
01:37 Brittany recently shared some throwback pictures of the Spears family on Instagram
01:41 Most were of her and her kids, but one was actually with her dad Jamie it had no caption
01:46 So we didn't really get any insight into the post but this had people wondering if Brittany was extending an olive branch to her dad
01:53 That's fair. There's more our sources say Brittany has been saying she misses her dad and even talked about sending him money at one point
02:00 So this speculation was also fueled by some sources telling TMZ that Brittany has softened to her dad lately and even misses him
02:07 Sometimes also adding that Jamie is open to the idea of making amends
02:11 It's also worth noting that Brittany and her mother Lynn have been getting along lately and her relationship with her sister
02:17 Jamie Lynn Spears seems to be healing. So there are some very conflicting reports
02:21 But if we look at the history between Brittany and Jamie
02:24 I'm not sure the relationship could ever heal or at least not fully Brittany became estranged from her father as she battled to terminate the
02:31 Conservatorship he had established in 2008 following Brittany's open court declaration in 2021
02:36 where she described her father as cruel a Los Angeles judge first suspended Jamie as conservator and eventually
02:43 Terminated the entire guardianship which was a win for both the pop star and her loyal followers
02:48 Who fought for the free Brittany movement in a recently published memoir the woman in me?
02:52 She provided a detailed account of Jamie's 13-year control over her personal and financial decisions and it's quite disturbing
02:59 She compared her dad to a cult leader and felt that she was in a cult in the best-selling book
03:04 Brittany also claims that her dad had a severe drinking problem and took advantage of her success and vulnerability to cash in
03:11 Jamie previously denied all claims but has yet to address the ones made in her book as for whether Jamie's current health condition will bring
03:18 The two together who really knows this isn't his first time becoming super ill
03:22 So back in 2018 Jamie was rushed to a hospital in Las Vegas where his colon spontaneously ruptured and he underwent
03:30 Emergency surgery and was hospitalized for 28 days
03:33 So Brittany released a statement at the time saying I'm dedicating my focus and energy to care for my family
03:38 Adding that we have a very special relationship and I want to be with my family at this time
03:43 Just like they have always been there for me
03:45 So she's been there for him before during a medical crisis granted that this was before her legal battle with Jamie over the conservatorship
03:52 But in my opinion Brittany doesn't know her dad anything medical scare or not
03:56 Their history is quite grim and if she doesn't want to make amends she doesn't have to but I'm curious about your thoughts
04:02 Do you think Brittany should try to reconcile with Jamie?
04:04 Do you think that after everything he reportedly put her through is a relationship between the two even possible?
