<\/p>\nBritney Spears could be living under strict legal constraints because she suffers from dementia, a documentary claims.<\/p>\n
Journalist Mobeen Azhar has obtained documents that appear to reveal the condition is why the singer has had her life and finances managed for the past 12 years by her dad Jamie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Britney, 39, is set to speak about her \u201cconservatorship\u201d for the first time in court in June.<\/p>\n
It is thought the pop star wants to stop her father having control over her personal affairs.<\/p>\n
In The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship, Azhar says he initially thought the dementia claims were a \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounded a bit out there,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are a couple of fan sites who said they have got hold of paperwork surrounding the conservatorship.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got no way of knowing if these are legit but this looks like it\u2019s linked to the conservatorship.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to tick a box justifying the reason and the box that is ticked, it says: \u2018The order is related to dementia placement or treatment as specified\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under-65s account for less than 5% of dementia cases in the US, so Azhar thinks it is \u201cunlikely\u201d Britney is suffering from the condition unless she is a \u201cmedical anomaly\u201d.<\/p>\n
He says: \u201cBritney might have dementia. I\u2019m not a doctor but if that\u2019s the case, the world isn\u2019t aware of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other option is more sinister. That\u2019s the idea that she doesn\u2019t have dementia but the conservatorship team wanted to push [it] through. If that\u2019s the case, then that\u2019s terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2007, Britney had a breakdown after splitting from her dancer husband, Kevin Federline.<\/p>\n
After several stints in rehab, she lost custody of sons Jayden, 14, and Sean, 15, and was detained for 14 days for her own safety.<\/p>\n
Britney, who is now dating personal trainer Sam Asghari, was then placed under the conservatorship, which means she cannot drive, go out alone or make her own financial decisions.<\/p>\n
Fans have formed a movement known as #FreeBritney, backing her legal fight to regain her autonomy.<\/p>\n
But blogger Perez Hilton believes the conservatorship is necessary.<\/p>\n
He says: \u201cIf she didn\u2019t have [it], I\u2019d be concerned she would be dead.\u201d<\/p>\n Britney Spears could be living under strict legal constraints because she suffers from dementia, a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9944,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
