Britney Spears y su padre, James Parnell Spears.
–
By 2008, Spears’ father, James Parnell Spears, had taken over control of his daughter’s finances and other aspects through the role of legal guardian.
–
That year, the singer had suffered a mental breakdown that brought her to the headlines of the American tabloids several times.
–
However, in recent years a campaign had been carried out to withdraw that legal guardianship, a cause that was finally brought before the courts the previous year.
–
There, Spears pointed out that her father’s control included avoiding get married or even stop using contraception.
–
And that’s why the announcement of her pregnancy last April had caused such a surprise.
–
When the news broke, she noted that it would likely be “difficult” as she had previously experienced perinatal depression, the medical term for depression that occurs anytime between becoming pregnant and about a year after giving birth.
–
The singer, who has two children from her marriage to Kevin Federline, said it had been “absolutely horrible” and that she had rarely spoken about it in the past.
