From her father Jamie's difficult upbringing to her grandmother's death, Britney Spears' family history makes for tragic reading. Take a look into the singer's family roots...
It's been nearly two years since US pop singer Britney Spears was released from her controversial 13-year conservatorship in which her father, Jamie, was handed power over both her personal and professional life.
The new book has sparked interest in Britney's family history and the tragic events that took place. Let's take a look...It is understood that Jamie's upbringing was difficult due to his mother's suicide and his father's demands. Emma Jane - Britney's maternal grandmother - died by suicide when Jamie was 13 years old after suffering a miscarriage.
Jamie Lynn continued: "For basketball, Paw-Paw June made Daddy shoot one hundred shots after practice. Daddy loved basketball, but his father made him abandon the court for the football field. He followed his father’s directive to play college football, knowing all along he would have been much more impactful as a basketball player."
The singer wrote: “If I thought getting criticised about my body in the press was bad, it hurt even more from my own father. He repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it. Feeling like you're never good enough is a soul-crushing state of being for a child.
