Cher has called on Britney Spears' father to step down from his controversial role overseeing her finances.
Jamie Spears, the pop star’s father, used to oversee both his daughter’s financial and personal affairs, before stepping down from the latter role for health reasons. However, he still manages the singer’s estate, despite her telling a judge she wants him removed.
The controversy was explored in headline-making documentary Framing Britney Spears, which brought renewed attention to the star’s life and career.
Speaking to PA news agency, Cher has said she has not seen the documentary but believes Jamie should relinquish his role.
She said: "I think her father should move over and let her have her life. I believe she’s been paying long enough."
Cher added the topic had long been discussed in Las Vegas, where Spears had performed a residency from 2013-2017.
Cher, star of new documentary Cher & The Loneliest Elephant, added: "It’s not like everybody on the strip in Las Vegas hasn’t been talking about this for a long time."
