Britney Spears’ ex tour manager reveals claims her conservators controlled ‘every aspect of her medical care,’ life
Dan George, Britney Spears’ former tour manager, revealed how the star’s conservators had complete control over her medical treatment for over a decade.
In a sneak peek of CNN’s upcoming special, “TOXIC: Britney Spears’ Battle for Freedom,” obtained by Page Six, he says, “The conservatorship dictated to her who her doctors were going to be, which doctors she was going to see, how often she was going to see them, how long those sessions would be — every aspect of her medical care.”
From 2008 to 2009, George produced Spears’ ‘Circus’ tour, while her father, Jamie Spears, was the conservator of his daughter’s estate.
Jodi Montgomery, a professional fiduciary, temporarily replaced Jamie, 69, as conservator of Britney’s person in 2019, which means doctor’s appointments didn’t fall within her purview until two years ago.

Spears testified that her conservatorship was so severe that she was not permitted to remove her IUD birth control.
“I have an [IUD] inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant. I wanted to take the [IUD] out so I could start trying to have another baby but this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have children,” she said.
Following her repeated involuntary stays in psychiatric facilities, the Gimme More singer has been under a court order for the last 13 years, giving her father complete control over all of her personal and financial decisions.
Britney also claimed that her management forced her to take lithium as a form of revenge following a disagreement about her Las Vegas show dance practices.
“[He] said he had a million phone calls about how I was not cooperating in rehearsals and I haven’t been taking my medication. All of this was false. He immediately the next day put me on lithium out of nowhere, he took me off my normal meds I’ve been on for five years and lithium is a very, very strong and completely different medication compared to what I was used to,” she told.
Britney went on to say that she was inebriated and couldn’t even talk to her parents about anything. She explained, “I told them I was scared.”
In the CNN program, George also claimed that the conservators’ supervision extended beyond her doctor’s appointments.
He said that Britney’s conservators only permitted her to read Christian literature and that she was only allowed to use a mobile phone “at times,” and that when she did, it was “tightly controlled.”
“Her phone was monitored, the text messages were read, the call logs were there,” George said. “I don’t know whether or not calls were recorded, but the use of a phone was very tightly controlled.”
