Britney Spears has called out her son Jayden, 15, for defending her estranged father, Jamie, claiming that he should be “in jail for the rest of his life” following her conservatorship trauma.

The 40-year-old was placed under a conservatorship in 2008 following her public breakdown which left Jamie, 70, in charge of almost every aspect of her life, including her finances and reproductive health.

The songstress has been speaking out against her family, who she claims “turned their back” on her in her darkest moments following the end of her conservatorship last year.

More recently, Spears has spoken out against her sons, Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden, for taking part in a joint interview with their dad, Kevin Federline, where they spoke about their fractured relationship and explained why they didn’t attend her recent wedding to Sam Asghari.

Notably, the Toxic singer’s son Jayden vowed that his grandfather didn’t “deserve all the hatred he is getting” in public, which appears to have irked the popstar.

Hitting back at their interview, Spears shared a lengthy audio clip on her Instagram page, questioning why her sons, in particular Jayden, were so “hateful”.

She began: “I can totally understand why my family would have a problem with me doing my own thing, maybe because I never have.

“I’m sure it is a little bit different and a touch lighter, me not being responsible for three 18-wheeler trucks with tour equipment and thousands of people to be responsible for on tour.

“So Jayden, as you undermine my behavior just like my family always has, with ‘Hope she gets better, I will pray for her’. Pray for what? I keep working so I can pay off mom’s legal fees and her house?

“Do you guys want me to get better so I can continue to give your dad $40,000 a month? Or is the reason behind you guys deciding to be hateful because it’s actually over in two years and you don’t get anything?”

Kevin, who was previously married to the Grammy-winner, was reportedly given 70 per cent custody of Jayden and Preston in 2019. He previously claimed that their sons stopped their overnight stays with their mom.

In the lengthy clip, Spears then said she begged Jayden for answers when they allegedly stopped seeing her as much.

She continued: “You said, ‘Mamma, it’ll change’. You and your brother left me in that house always two hours early. Preston would sleep, you would play the piano the whole time.

“And if I didn’t shower you guys with gifts and have amazing food ready, and play a mother**king saint, it was still never good enough.

“That one time I asked you, looking straight in your eyes, ‘I wanna see you more’, you called your dad, I never saw you again,” Spears added.

“I didn’t do anything wrong and I know I’m not perfect, but the love I’ve given you and how much I adore you and your diplomatic ways, speaking like PawPaw, ‘self-entitled, this can be fixed, I will see her when she’s better’.

“Jaden, it was a miracle I could even have a normal conversation when I got out of that place.”

The chart-topping singer also accused the teen of being “like my other family” and insisted that her father should be behind bars for all the trauma he caused her through her conservatorship.

“But you were just like my other family. You secretly loved looking at me as something was wrong with me,” Spears alleged.

“I didn’t need a family hiding, s**tting houses and whispering s**t behind my back, feeling subconsciously guilty because I paid for every f**king thing in both homes.

“I needed unconditional love and support. But guess what, the whole twist of it all, which would’ve made a little bit more sense… I was in the greatest state I’d ever been because I was actually able to speak up 100 per cent and say no. It saddens me not one of you has valued me as a person.

“You’ve witnessed how my family has been to me and that’s all you know. Like I said, I feel you all like to secretly say something is wrong with me. Honestly, my dad needs to be in jail for the rest of his life.

“But, like I said, God would not allow that to happen to me if a God existed. I don’t believe in God any more because of the way my family and children have treated me. There is nothing to believe anymore. I’m an Athiest, y’all.”
