Concerns for Britney Spears’ safety and freedom have been reignited after her 13-year-old son Jayden Federline went live on Instagram to slam his grandfather, Jamie Spears.
When one of Jayden’s followers commented, “kill your grandfather,” he responded, “bro, I was thinking the same thing” – but it didn’t end there. When another fan asked, “is your grandpa a jerk?” Jayden responded, “Yeah, he’s a pretty big d*ck… He can go die.”
During Jayden’s video he also praised his father, Kevin Federline, calling him “the best dad ever,” and called Spears’ boyfriend Sam Ashgari “nice” and a “really good dude.”
He even spoke highly of his grandmother, Lyn Spears, saying, “my grandma is literally the best grandma in the universe. All of my grandmas, actually.”
When fans asked Jayden about his mum’s music career, he said, “I haven’t seen her do a lot of new music at all… I remember one time I asked her, ‘Mum, what happened to your music?’ and she was, like, ‘I don’t know, honey. I think I might just quit it.”
Jayden said he was shocked by Britney’s response, asking her, “Do you know how much bank you make off of that stuff?”
It’s no surprise Jayden isn’t the biggest fan of his grandfather. Last September, Kevin Federline – who has 70 percent custody of his sons – accused Jamie Spears of abusing Jayden’s brother Sean. According to TMZ, Jamie allegedly broke down a door to get Sean during a fight and grabbed him. Criminal charges were not filed against Jamie.
Speaking of child stars, hear about Jessica Simpson’s shock revelations on It’s Been A Big Day For… below:
Early last year, Britney went on a hiatus to take care of her father after he was hospitalised. In April 2019, she checked into a mental health facility due to stress. Around this time, the podcast Britney’s Gram reported – via an “anonymous paralegal source” – that the singer had been held against her will in the facility since January 2019.
The podcast claimed her hospitalisation and the cancellation of her Domination tour was ordered by her father after she didn’t take her medication and violated the rules in her conservatorship. ICYMI, Britney Spears was placed under temporary (and later permanent) conservatorship of her father and attorney Andrew Wallet in 2008 after she was hospitalised and refused to relinquish custody of her children. This gave Jamie Spears and Wallet complete control of her assets.
The claims of Britney’s Gram spurred the #FreeBritney campaign, leading fans to protest for her ‘release’ outside West Hollywood City Hall. In an effort to reassure fans, Britney said “all is well” and she would “be back very soon” in an Instagram video – but her followers continued to speculate that her often erratic social media behaviour was an indication she was still being held against her will.
Page Six reports that Kevin Federline is “handling” the aftermath of Jayden’s Instagram Live video. “It’s the result of a 13-year-old acting like a 13-year-old,” Federline’s family attorney Mark Vincent told the publication.
We will just have to wait and see what happens when it comes to Britney Spears’ son’s relationship with their grandfather, but clearly, there’s plenty of drama going on behind closed doors.
