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.
