That’s become the case for Britney Spears, who shares two teenage sons with Kevin Federline.

Jayden James, 16, spoke with his father in a new Daily Mail interview.

Britney has alleged that her father, Jamie Spears, put her through horrible abuse during her 13-year conservatorship.

However, Jayden said that Jamie “doesn't deserve all the hatred he is getting.”

He said that he also doesn’t find him to be “manipulative,” despite Britney’s claims.

Jayden said Jamie was “just trying to be like any father,” letting Brit pursue her dream of becoming a pop star.

Jayden did admit, “I did think maybe the conservatorship went on too long.”

He said that Britney was “angry” from “working for too long,” adding, “She should have taken a break and relaxed.”
