![]() ![]() Spears’ former assistant says that he was toxic to her, and encouraged her to spend her money unwisely. He is now known to associate himself with celebrities to create drama and profit from it. The media is especially abusive to female celebrities, often relying on sexist stereotyping or shaming of their actions and what they wear.ĭuring this time, a man named Sam Lutfi befriended her. The mistreatment of the press and media of celebrities is horrific, and the invasion of privacy that they are always seeking would be damaging to anyone’s mental health. The man who videotaped Spears attacking her car gives a superficial apology in the documentary for harassing her all of those years while in the business. In one clip from the documentary, there is footage of one of the paparazzi men who spent a lot of time harassing her, which is the infamous footage of her getting out of her car to attack his car with an umbrella. ![]() Paparazzi was constantly surrounding Spears, and when her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, a famous Nickelodeon teen actress became unexpectedly pregnant at sixteen, the paparazzi never left her or her family alone. This was the starting of her very publicized personal issues. Spears’ former assistant said that Britney did not know better, because her dad used to drive with her on his lap as a child. This was during her drug addiction, but that was failed to be noted in the media articles that disparaged her. In a widely published picture, there is a paparazzi picture of Britney holding one of her sons on her lap while driving as an infant. The narrator of the documentary then discusses Britney’s issues, like the divorce she went through with Kevin Federline, and losing custody of her kids because of drug addiction. The shaming of her sexuality by the media as she entered a legal age was horrible. Later, a clip plays of an interview with Justin Timberlake where he discussed private details about if he took Spears’ virginity or not. In one of Diane Sawyer’s interviews, Sawyers asks Spears why she cheated on him, which leads Britney to cry. At the beginning of the documentary, the narrator discussed the breakup of Justin Timberlake and Spears during the early 2000s. ![]() This “Lolita” image sent mixed messages to her young fans, but sold records and kept the media talking. In a new documentary by the New York Times, “Framing Britney Spears,” Spears’ former assistant, those who were close to her at the time, former paparazzi, people of the #FreeBritney movement, and her brother describe the details surrounding her conservatorship.Īt the beginning of her fame, photographers would dress up Spears in sexualized, but adolescent clothing, one shoot even shot in her childhood bed. Warning, spoilers from the documentary ahead! Within her conservatorship, her father can make all the decisions about her credit cards, who can visit her, where she can go, how long she works, where she works, and what is allowed to be talked about in interviews. Spears’ father controls the conservatorship, and he has been abusive towards her. But, Britney has been under this conservatorship since 2007 and is no longer needing someone to make decisions for her. At this time, this was needed for her, as she was experiencing severe mental health issues that made her incapable of making safe decisions. A conservatorship is when a judge gives the legal rights of a person to another person to make decisions on behalf of them. I did not know that she had been put under a conservatorship at this time. No wonder she acted bizarrely to the public’s eye. Plus, she had been involuntarily sent to a psychiatric hospital. And no wonder, the media, and paparazzi were constantly criticizing her, her famous sixteen-year-old sister had become unexpectedly pregnant, she had been struggling with drug addiction, going through a divorce, and lost custody of her kids all in 2007. It was not until around high school that I began to understand that Britney was struggling with mental health problems during that dark period of her life. I just heard people calling her “crazy,” and went along with it. When she had a very public mental breakdown in 2007, I was only eight years old and I did not understand why she would have shaved her head and attacked a paparazzi’s car. I have always been a fan of Britney Spears. ![]()
