A former bodyguard for Britney Spears has revealed that the pop star was given powerful prescription drugs on a weekly basis during her conservatorship, that allegedly made her talk about “parallel universes.”
Fernando Flores, an ex-police officer who provided protection to Spears in 2010, told The Sun that a woman would visit Spears every Friday with “three anti-psychotic medications and birth-control pills.”
“I’d explain [to Spears] what everything was — three anti-psychotic medications and birth-control pills,’’ Flores was quoted as saying. “She’d go from sane to talking about parallel universes,” he added.
The singer has been under a legal guardianship since 2008, with her father Jamie and other legal guardians managing her finances and personal life.
However, Spears has shown resistance to the situation in recent years and is now involved in a legal battle over it, with her lawyers stating she wants the conservatorship to change and her father to be removed from it.
Flores revealed that the singer’s phone was monitored, all the people visiting her had their bags checked and she would cry because of her father’s control over her.
“Jamie would call three or four times a day to check what was going on,’’ the former security guard said.
“If she [Britney] wanted something, she had to ask his [Jamie] permission. She spent her days watching TV or working out,” he added. “When down, she’d cry listening to [James Brown’s] ‘It’s A Man’s World’.”
On 23 June, Spears delivered an explosive testimony in court, speaking out for the first time of her experience under the situation.
The pop star revealed that the team managing her decades-long financial and personal conservatorship used an IUD to prevent her from having more children.
“I have an IUD in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out,” she told the court. “I feel ganged up on. I feel bullied and I feel left out and alone.”
“I want to be able to get married and have a baby,” she added.
Spears has not been seen on stage since 2018 and has said she will not perform again until her father is removed from her controversial conservatorship.
“I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive,” she said in court. “It’s my wish and my dream for all of this to end.”
