Britney Spears checks into mental health facility over her dad’s illness. Insiders have reported that this illness is quite serious and he’s not getting better.
He has undergone two surgeries to fix major problems with his intestines and colon. These problems started late last year after his colon ruptured.
Britney put her Vegas show, Domination, on hold to take care of him.
“I am dedicating my focus and energy to care for my family. We have a very special relationship and I want to be with my family at this time just like they have always been there for me. Thank you to all my fans for your continued love and support during this time,” she said in a statement at the time. “I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and I look forward to the time when I can be back on stage performing for all of you.”
Not long after the announcement, Jamie Spears (her father) spent 28 days in the hospital after his life-threatening health scare.
It was also reported that his health situation “has been weighing on Britney and affecting her emotional well-being”.
Britney decided she needed to take time for herself and has also just been prioritizing focusing on her kids, her family and her boyfriend.
She posted a photo with the words,
“Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind, body, spirit. We all need to take a little time for a little ‘me time.'”
Britney checked herself into the facility about a week ago and will live there for 30 days.
