A new investigative report from New York Magazine tries to understand why Jamie Spears kept his daughter’s controversial conservatorship going for 13 years.
But while there’s legal closure, questions still linger about his motivation, and aattempts to answer those by digging into Jamie’s twisted family tree, its roots in Kentwood, Louisiana — and the ghosts that linger there.
Even Britney expressed similar sentiments during a hearing asking for her freedom, telling the judge of her father: “I cried on the phone for an hour … and he loved every minute of it. The control he had over someone as powerful as me — he loved the control to hurt his own daughter, one hundred thousand percent. He loved it.”AFP via Getty Images
In the summer of 1970, June Austin had Jo Ann, then his wife of three-and-a-half years, committed to Mandeville and split to North Carolina searching for work, his stepsister-slash-girlfriend in tow. Back in Louisiana, Jamie was involved in a tragic car accident that killed his friend and tore a piece of hair off his head.Britney Spears has spoken out against her now-estranged family for keeping her in a conservatorship for 13 years.
According to the piece, Jo Ann’s daughter, Leigh Ann — Jamie’s half sister through their dad — later alleged that June Austin had sexually assaulted her multiple times. Jo Ann’s son and Jamie’s half brother, John Mark, accused the patriarch of being physically abusive and driving his and Leigh Ann’s mother into the depths of mental illness.
Lynne eventually divorced Jamie, who in 2004 went to rehab for alcohol abuse and became religious. Meanwhile, Britney’s star was on the rise. As she was hospitalized against her will, June Austin said, “She shouldn’t go in the nut house … Sometimes you come out worse than you go in.”
