As Britney Spears’s conservatorship battle continues to play out in court, we’ve seen a series of documentaries covering the singer’s fight to freedom. Ahead of the release of Netflix’s Britney Vs. Spears, The New York Times premiered Controlling Britney Spears on Sept. 24. Controlling Britney Spears, a follow-up to the Framing Britney Spears doc that premiered on Hulu back in February, gives viewers an even closer look at the singer’s years-long conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears. It examines how the pop star’s security team seized control of her life through disturbing allegations from those who’ve worked close to Britney throughout the years, including her former assistant Felicia Culotta.
Britney has previously expressed her discomfort with documentaries about her life. Following the release of Framing Britney Spears, she admitted that she cried for two weeks over the documentary and “was embarrassed by the light” it put her in. She also expressed similar sentiments after the release of BBC Select’s The Battle For Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship in May. “So many documentaries about me this year with other people’s takes on my life … what can I say … I’m deeply flattered !!!!” she wrote on Instagram. “These documentaries are so hypocritical.”
The release of Controlling Britney Spears comes a few weeks after Jamie surprisingly filed a petition to end the singer’s 13-year conservatorship. The court is set to decide whether or not Jamie will remain his daughter’s conservator at the next hearing on Sept. 29. Ahead, see the most heartbreaking revelations from Controlling Britney Spears.
