Britney Spears has declared that her father, Jamie Spears is responsible for having saved her life and that she might not have made it if he hadn’t stepped in back in January 2008. She has said:
“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 the time when I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go on living. I owe him my life.”
When you consider how completely messed up Britney was by January, there’s not doubt that her father has done a great deal to help her. He has allegedly gotten her a personal trainer, a private chef, an alcohol counselor, and even a general lifestyle counselor. Whether all those details are completely accurate or not, whatever he’s been doing has really helped turn her life around.
When I was carefully following all the harrowing headlines – from the standoff when she refused to give her kids back to Kevin Federline to her weird outings in her wedding dress with Adnan Ghalib – I kept thinking that if something didn’t change, if someone didn’t help her immediately, that I was going to wake up to read that she was dead. I honestly believe she was on a fast track to a tragedy. Kudos to Jamie Spears for really helping to save his daughter.
