While Britney Spears has been working the stage on the much-anticipated "Circus" tour her father has been battling the Platinum-selling star's top fansite BreatheHeavy.com !
According to BreatheHeavy, a long running fansite that covers Spears' tour, news, interviews and other interesting facts, Jamie Spears (Britney's father) told them "I'll Destroy Your A**".
In an open letter issued last week, BreatheHeavy.com webmaster Jordan Miller says:
"I have been battling the
conservatorship Britney is currently placed under for months now. When
I did not conform to the requests and demands Britney’s management and
father, Jamie Spears, recently put upon BreatheHeavy to stay quiet,
they in turn became angry and malicious, launching, what I feel is an
unjust attack, against me and my website.
As a result, I received a legal notice from Jamie Spears’ lawyers
pressuring me to close BreatheHeavy.com by 3:00 p.m. PST today, March
27, 2009, or face an injunction, claiming they will pursue legal action
by Jamie Spears, who, as a conservator, is legally allowed to act as
Britney and sue using her money and lawyers.
“Britney doesn’t control her affairs,” said Brad Rose, the lawyer representing Britney in this case in a telephone conversation.
“You are an uber fan who’s gone a little too far.”
Miller, who has reportedly run the fansite for five years, goes on to say:
"BreatheHeavy.com is a
non-profitable website, meaning I, nor anyone, makes a PROFIT off the
website. The ads used help the website remain self-sustainable, and if
there is a profit made, the funds, in return, are used to purchase
magazine scans and other materials needed for the website.
Am I crazy and naive for running a major website that leaves me in
debt each month?
Possibly, but BreatheHeavy is my passion, a creative
outlet that has allowed me to grow as an individual.
Britney Spears is my inspiration; I can’t put a price on that.
Though I made very clear to the attorneys that BreatheHeavy is a non-profitable website, it is of no concern of theirs.
This entire site thrives because of YOU, the fans, who support Britney by buying tickets to her show, merchandise and music.
Sadly, your hard-earned money that goes to supporting your favorite
celebrity, is now money being used to potentially sue me, a major fan
and supporter of Britney Spears, and hide fans from knowing the TRUTH."
That's no way to treat a fan who is supporting your artist !
According to Miller, BreatheHeavy.com will hopefully re-open for fans who have supported his passion and Britney Spears for the last five years.
"This is the hardest thing I’ve
ever had to do, but I know with the support of fans and readers, this
unjust bullying will come to an end, and one day Jamie Spears’ reign
over his daughter, her money, lawyers, career and life will cease," says Miller.
