Jamie Spears says that Britney Spears’ personal conservator, Jodi Montgomery, told him that his daughter is “mentally sick” and wanted to place her under a 5150 psychiatric hold. variety.com/2021/music/new… 
Now, in a statement obtained by Variety, Montgomery is pushing back on Mr. Spears claims — and, once again, asking him to step down from his daughter’s conservatorship. variety.com/2021/music/new…
“Ms. Montgomery implores Mr. Spears to stop the attacks,” Montgomery’s statement says, in part. “It does no good; it only does harm. We all need to focus on one thing, and one thing only — the health, well-being and best interests of Britney Spears.” variety.com/2021/music/new…
Spears’ father is the conservator of her estate, managing all financial decisions, while Montgomery is the singer’s conservator of her person, managing all personal and medical decisions. variety.com/2021/music/new…
In new court documents, Spears’ father alleged that Montgomery called him last month to say that she is concerned about his daughter’s behavior and mental health and believes she might need to be placed under a 5150 psychiatric hold. variety.com/2021/music/new…
“During our call, Ms. Montgomery sounded very distraught and expressed how concerned she was about my daughter’s recent behavior and overall mental health,” Mr. Spears says in the documents. variety.com/2021/music/new…
Spears’ father says that Montgomery asked for his help in addressing these issues, as she was “very worried” about the “direction my daughter was heading in.” variety.com/2021/music/new…
In response, Montgomery’s attorney tells Variety: “Ms. Montgomery does have concerns about Ms. Spears’ ‘recent behavior and overall mental health.’ … Due to medical privacy, Ms. Montgomery cannot go into those concerns with any further detail...” variety.com/2021/music/new…
“...Except to say that having her father Jamie Spears continuing to serve as her Conservator instead of a neutral professional fiduciary is having a serious impact on Ms. Spears’ mental health.” variety.com/2021/music/new…
“It is in Ms. Spears’ best interests that her father step down as her Conservator, so he can go back to just being Ms. Spears’ father, and working on a healthy, supportive father-daughter relationship.” variety.com/2021/music/new…
Montgomery denies Mr. Spears’ claim that she suggested the singer be placed under a psychiatric hold: “At no time did Ms. Montgomery express to Mr. Spears that Ms. Spears would currently qualify for such a hold.” variety.com/2021/music/new…
Despite Mr. Spears stating he is working in the best interest of his daughter, Montgomery appears to be in line with the pop star, who told a judge that she wants to keep Montgomery on her case and wants her father removed and put in jail. variety.com/2021/music/new…
