Britney Spears, 41, has had a tough year — and according to a new report, it’s about to get worse. Brit’s estranged father, Jamie Spears, has reportedly been hospitalized with what’s described as a “bad” infection. “Jamie has been suffering with a bad infection that has required surgery,” an insider told Page Six for the Thursday, October 5 report. “He has been hospitalized for weeks in a special infectious disease facility.”
Another insider reportedly told the outlet that the pop star’s dad, who oversaw her controversial and restrictive 13-year legal conservatorship, is “extremely ill.” The outlet also claimed that a recent report that Jamie had recently been in rehab for alleged alcoholism was false.
Reports of health trouble for the Spears patriarch first emerged in late August, when TMZ reported that Jamie was in the hospital “several months” prior, where doctors reportedly “believed there was something wrong with his kidneys.” The outlet claimed his knees were the actual culprit, as Jamie had a knee replacement over a decade and a half ago and “somehow he developed a terrible infection.”
