Britney Spears has not seen “Framing Britney Spears,” but is aware of the New York Times documentary highlighting her conservation issues, one source told Page Six exclusively.
“As of Sunday, Britney had not seen the documentary, but she is aware of it,” the source said. “She hadn’t seen any of it.”
When asked if Britney, 39, had not been allowed to watch the docuseries as part of her legal restrictions, the insider informed that it was the pop star’s own decision not to watch it.
“She chose not to look at it because she’s tired of conservatorship,” the source said. “She feels that there is a gap in her life because of the conservatory and that she can only lead a normal life when that is over. She knows it will be a struggle for her entire life. “
In November, Britney’s lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, claimed in court that the “Toxic” singer had become “afraid” of her father, Jamie Spears, and wanted him removed from her conservatorship. “She will no longer perform when her father is in charge of her career,” he said.
Judge Brenda Penny, judge at the Superior Court in Los Angeles, refused to suspend Jamie, 68, from his position, but stated that she was open to arguments for his future dismissal. Bessemer Trust was named as co-curator.
Jamie told CNN in December that he hadn’t spoken to his daughter for months.
“If a family member needs special care and protection, families should stand up, as I have for the past 12 years, to protect, protect and love Britney unconditionally,” he said. “I have and will continue to offer unshakable love and fierce protection against those who are self-interested and those who want to harm her or my family.”
Britney has been under conservatory since her infamous nervous breakdown in 2007.
“Framing Britney Spears,” released Friday on FX and Hulu, showcased the “Baby One More Time” singer’s rise to fame, mental health problems due to rigorous public scrutiny, conservatorship and the # FreeBritney movement.
Over the weekend, celebrities came out in droves to show their support, calling the pop star’s situation ‘sad’ and ‘heartbreaking’.
But despite the latest microscopic attention to her ongoing legal troubles as a result of the documentary, a source told Page Six on Monday that Britney is “happy and vibrant.”
The next court date on the battle for the conservatory is February 11.
