Britney Spears' fight with her family has added another chapter.
The pop star is said to be furious with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, for allowing their father, Jamie Spears, to live in the guest house of her newly built Louisiana home. According to an Oct. 4 report from DailyMail.com, Britney is "extremely bothered" by the arrangement between Jamie Lynn and Jamie.
"This obviously infuriates Britney for so many reasons," a source said. "She feels betrayed that her sister is putting up her dad and allowing him to watch her kids after what he did to [Britney]. She cannot believe that Jamie is caring for Jamie Lynn's daughters when he was partially to blame for Britney's falling out with her two sons."

Jamie Spears is living with his youngest daughter after another failed rehab stint, DailyMail.com reported on Oct. 4, adding that he completed a 30-day program in July.
"Jamie just got out of rehab but is already drinking again, which worries [his ex-wife] Lynne and [daughter] Jamie Lynn," a source said.
Still, the alleged drinking hasn't kept the Spears patriarch from Jamie Lynn's two children, Ivey, 5, and Maddie, 15. In fact, Jamie watched the girls while Jamie Lynn was in Los Angeles competing on "Dancing With the Stars." Jamie Lynn is now back with the girls after being eliminated from the competition on Oct. 3.
Last year, Jamie admitted to moving into Jamie Lynn's home but said it was for health reasons.

Britney Spears is not pleased with the living arrangement, as she feels that her father drove a wedge between her and sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17, who both now live in Hawaii with their father, Kevin Federline.
Back in 2019, Jamie Spears allegedly got into a physical altercation with a then 13-year-old Jayden. Shortly after, Kevin and the boys got a restraining order against Jamie.
In her conservatorship battle, Britney accused her father of abuse and heavy drinking.
Through all the drama and Britney's post-conservatorship behavior, the "Toxic" singer's relationship with her sons faltered too, as they haven't seen her in well over a year at this point, according to reports.

Lynne Spears wrote about former husband Jamie Spears' drinking in her book, "Through the Storm."
"Jamie always enjoyed a beer here and there, but he didn't start drinking heavily until after Bryan was born," she wrote, referring to her and Jamie's eldest child, Bryan Spears.
She called him an "alcoholic" who was "barely present, supportive or loving" toward the end of their marriage. She finally filed for divorce in 2020 after "years and years of verbal abuse, abandonment [and] erratic behavior," she claimed.
While drinking, she said Jamie had "cruel words, flung in the heat of the moment, fueled by alcohol's evil energy."

Amid her efforts to end the conservatorship that ruled her life for more than 13 years — which was run by father Jamie Spears — Britney Spears said, "I've always been scared of my dad. I was scared he would show up drunk."
Her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears — the same one Jamie lives with now — had similar thoughts. In her memoir, "Things I Should Have Said," the "Zoey 102" star shared that her dad's drinking made her feel even more "neglected" while living in Britney's shadow.
"He spent most of my life in that cycle of ruinous behavior. His bouts of drinking always caused me periods of torment and sorrow," she penned. "It created a lot of anxiety. The hardest part was, 'Could I trust you? Are you drinking? Are you not?'"
During Britney's conservatorship case, her lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, called Jamie an "alcoholic and gambling addict."

The news about Jamie Spears' living arrangements and rehab stay comes a week after a report claimed Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, was taking on part-time work at a Louisiana school while struggling to pay her bills — this despite the fact that her famous daughter is reportedly worth $60 million. Lynne's younger daughter, Jamie Lynn Spears, is estimated to be worth $6 million.
"[Lynne] is struggling to pay her bills, but she has already substituted for several classes at [a local school]," a source told DailyMail.com. Substitute teachers make about $15 a hour in Kentwood, Louisiana, where Lynne is teaching.
Although Britney and Lynn had a very brief reconciliation earlier in 2023, their relationship has again soured and the "Through The Storm" author's finances have been "seriously impacted" by the fallout, the source added.
