The release of the New York Times’ Framing Britney Spears documentary has not only proven to be fascinating viewing for fans around the world, but it has also precipitated action from those in the pop star’s inner circle. The 75-minute exposé sheds new light on Spears’ rise to fame and controversial treatment by the media, as well as her mental health struggles. It also tracks the rise of the #FreeBritney movement, a campaign set in motion by fans concerned about the star’s ongoing conservatorship, which for the past 13 years has granted her father, Jamie Spears, full control over her personal and professional life.
“Her dad and others in the conservatorship are far from happy about it,” a source tells Us Weekly of their reaction to the documentary. “But more people think it’s high time this extremely sad and confusing story was aired, and it’s a positive step in the right direction.”
