Media personalities and celebrities alike have expressed their support for Briteny Spears after the airing of the controversial New York Times documentary, Framing Britney Spears.
The documentary takes an in-depth look at the pop icon’s personal and professional life over the years – from her rise to fame and fortune, her tumultuous relationships, and the court-ordered conservatorship granting her limited authority over her financial affairs.
A teenage superstar, the now 39-year old suffered a mental breakdown in 2008, since then this legal conservatorship has governed her daily life.
Spears is currently in the midst of a legal battle with her father, Jamie Spears, as she fights to regain control of her assets which are said to amount to over $60m.
According to The Guardian," There is no shortage of horrifying, look-away-from-the-screen moments in Framing Britney Spears, the New York Times-produced documentary that examines, in succinct, bruising fashion, the pop star’s incendiary career and controversial legal guardianship.”
Since airing, the #FreeBrtney movement has gained massive momentum on social media with celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Meghan McCain backing Spears.
