Britney Spears Thinks Her Father Saved Her Life
Sep 3, 2008 AT 08:51 am
Um... YEAH! It's nice to hear Britney Spears say it though. After all, say what you want, but Britney is a changed woman. She's no longer manic and out of control. It's a controlled, slow life and it's all thanks to Jamie stepping in and literally taking over.
Britney told the The Daily Star,
"My father saved my life. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. I’ve not always been a good daughter; but he basically gave up his job and his life to look after me at a time when I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go on living.
"I owe him my life."

I'm glad she knows that. She has made a remarkable change for the better.

I am so happy to hear her say this! It is definitely true, but this means that she is happy on this new positive track. Maybe now she will realize how important it is to keep herself together emotionally. She does owe a lot to her dad, but that's what family is for. I'm glad he was the bad guy for a little bit, because she really needed the tough love.

awe that sent shivers down me!
Oh come on, she did not come with that my herself. Her PR team wrote it down for her & she said it.

Your a Jealous Hater!
Jealous... I doubt that seriously...lol. Yes, I'm certainly glad she's getting her **** together too... but there is NO DOUBT that her PR people set that up. Please!
she sure spending a lot of time sun bathing...she really need to get a life!! I really doubt she said that herself...it's nothing but damage control.
Guess I'm not that cynical. I believe she means what she's saying...she seems like she's really trying to work things out. When has she ever listened to any "handlers"? She's very strong-willed and I'm so glad things are better for her.
Well, what else is a father supposed to do when his daughters life is on the line?? He did all he could, and it worked. She seems grateful, which to me means that he did the right thing. I would hope my own dad would do this for me! (If needed, but it's not :-))

yea sure daddy took care of ger. right !for 3,000 a week . hell i/ll take care of her for that. if he were truly sincere he would not have put a price tag on fatherhood. i think hes a slime ball and he did not have to get cut a paycheck to take care of his daughter,
Hey Mitch Winehouse-this is what fathers do when their daughters are so out of control they are barely alive-watch and learn.
I wonder if she really said it though? It is wonderful, and I hope so, but doubt it. What is the source? She and the rest of the Spears have a relationship with OK magazine, right? Why would she say this to "The Daily Star"? Well, I hope she did, but sincerely doubt it.

I'll believe it when I see her take this new life and breaks the destructive cycle for her kids and Jamie's baby. Don't wait until you have to save your own kids, help them now!
I feel like she said it. It's damage control when someone says something like that RIGHT after it happens. He has been helping here for almost a year now. I think she's just finally getting to a place where she can come to terms with how her life was going before her dad stepped in and took control. I think she's doing awesome, and I hope she has some part (even if it's tiny) in the the upcoming VMAs!
BrowserSep 3, 2008 @ 10:53 am
Well I hope she said it. He's a great dad. I agree with "nevermind"!!
BrowserSep 3, 2008 @ 11:29 am
She looks amazing. Way to go Papa Spears.
Occasional VisitorSep 3, 2008 @ 11:31 am
What a beautiful thing to say. Over coming any form of obsessive/compulsive behavior is admitting that your wrong while acknowleding the help of others. I have had my doubts about her, but after reading this, think she may well be on the right track. Good for her!
BrowserSep 3, 2008 @ 12:06 pm
I hope she really said that. Is the Daily Star a reliable source or are they like the Mirror/Enquirer etc
Semi ObsessedSep 3, 2008 @ 01:36 pm
I don't know if she said this or not (though I'd be willing to bet she did), but I just have to say that she looks FANTASTIC. I am so happy that she seems to have found some peace and is taking care of herself again physcially (which we all know can do wonders for our self-esteem and general well-being). Also, in regard to whether she's going to continue down the "right" path or not, I must say that the woman had 2 children with only 3 months in between, then filed for divorce 2 months after the 2nd was born, and we expected her to be totally sane? I think that her mind and body went through A LOT during those couple of years (I still think that she had a severe case of PPD that went untreated) and, as a result, she managed to fall into a very dark place. When you reach that point, being pulled out is the hardest part - it should be all downhill from here!
She had lipo.
to nevermind-speaking from experience, not all fathers do that
I hope she said it too., it's obvious by how much better her life is now that her dad coming in and taking control of things was the best thing for her. For those who say her PR told her to say that: If she has changed from being in full handler rebellion to finally listening to her advisors ..great and about time ! This shows she is serious about getting her life in order and her career back on track. Really I think if she is finally listeing to them it's because her daddy talked some much needed sense into her. To the poster who said that Jamie only did it for the money : . Jamie hasn't behaved at all like a man who only wants money . He has stayed very low key ( he's rarely seen ) , he divorced Lynn, stayed in the small old house and kept his job even though he didn't have to , until Briney really need him. If Jamie had only wanted money he could have moved into the big house ( that Britney bought ) with Lynn and lived off of their daughter like she has. There's no way he could hold a job as well as take care of Britney and all of her legal and business affairs too . The man couldn't live off of nothing ( gas , clothing , up keep on his house , property taxes etc. ) and needed income and eventually he was going to have to go to Britney for money. A set salary keeps him from always having to hold his hand out to her and that's a good thing. A manager who does all that Jamie does would get that and probably a whole lot more .
i agree totally with mokitten on the reasons behind the "salary". bills are bills, they gotta get paid.
Anyone that knows anything about mental disorders and addiction is standing back and keeping their fingers crossed. Way too soon to celebrate! What is going to happen once she doesn't have a "babysitter" anymore?
God loves His children, and is always waiting for us to call on Him. I believe Britney believes in God and called out to Him, especially when she was so lost and needed help more than ever before in her life. He heard her prayers and He has answered. He is awesome. God Bless you Britney, may your life become all that God has in store for you.
I'm so happy for her .Her father did the right thing getting all those people out of her life. As a parent that was hard to watch. Allways remember in most peoples life no one loves you more than your Mom and Dad
the day she puts her children first, then she will be sane,,come on women would you just give up your kids and go out sunbathing, shopping and running around like nothings wrong??? Can we say Angelina Jolie, JLo, Christina Aguillar, Nicole Ritchie, Gwen Stefani, Tori Spelling, Katie Holmes, Halle Berry,,,Just to name a few that have alot on their plate as well as being in the business they are in,,I understand the Dis- ease she has but getting it together ought to mean seeing her with her boys and playing with them, not the boys she is hanging out with at the pool! My daughter has the same thing that Brit has,,Why do we cut her so much slack?? Yes we want her to succeed but lets be honest,,,
Actually, I totally agree with you. I get sooooo tired of hearing how "brit is fine now and should get her kids back"... blah blah blah. She has zero expectations of getting them back in my book. Not for a long long while. She put their safety at risk and their emotional wellbeing at risk. Say what you want about the ex, he has stepped up to the plate big time. For those who want to say that he's a mooch, I say that he's no different than any other ex... male or female... who gets custody of the kids. So what that she's paying him... she's paying her father to babysit HER... he deserves every penny he gets... and THEN some. What she's paying is peanuts compared to what a MAN would be paying the mother of his kids that he basically abandoned... whether for mental health issues or drug abuse. Zero Difference.
I am so happy to hear her say that. Finally something wonderful to read about her. I know at her age it is easy to spin out ofcontrol and living in Hollywood even strengthens the chances. Family is much better than the bloodsucking media who pretended to love her. Way to go Britney! Good luck (and don't bother with any negative comments - some people are never satisfied)!
Bravo, Brittney! It's been a long hard road. The longer she stays on this side of the road, the longer she will be here! Nothing can replaced the power and influence of a parent making the hard decisions, the commitment and unconditional love. Say what you will about Jamie in the past, he really has established his paternal wing around his daughter. Bravo to you both. GOD does move in mysterious ways, they both had to go to dark places to find their healthy way back to eachother.
