Britney Spears’ estranged dad, Jamie Spears, denies bugging the pop star’s bedroom while serving as her conservator.
Jamie, 69, submitted a sworn declaration to the Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, nine months after a bombshell New York Times documentary accused him of recording Britney, 40, in her Thousand Oaks, Calif., home.
“I am informed of the allegation … that a listening device or ‘bug’ was placed [in] her bedroom as surveillance during the conservatorship. This allegation is false,” Jamie says in court documents exclusively obtained by Page Six.
“I never conducted or authorized any surveillance of Britney’s bedroom at any time, including during the conservatorship,” he adds. “I am not aware of any such surveillance having occurred.”
Jamie also says “under penalty of perjury” that “if called and sworn as a witness,” he “could and would testify” that his declaration is “true and correct.”
Britney’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
In “The New York Times Presents: Controlling Britney Spears,” which premiered on FX and Hulu in September 2021, a former security employee claimed that Jamie had secretly captured more than 180 hours of audio recordings of Britney in her bedroom, including conversations with her children, in addition to monitoring the text messages, calls and internet history on her cellphone.
