After the recent launch of New York Times documentary Armando Britney Spears, who revisits the public challenge of sexism and public shame that the singer faced during her meteoric rise as a teenager and personal struggles as a young adult, viewers are furious at the treatment the singer faced. The doctor also renewed requests for an end to the legal guardianship that Spears has been in since 2008, which places his father Jamie Spears as his legal guardian. Last year, fans questioned the continued need for guardianship and pointed to Spears’ unbalanced social media posts as evidence that the singer is suffering from a mental health crisis or trying to alert fans about her anguish, statements that her sister Jamie Lynn Spears denied it in July. Now, Britney Spears’ boyfriend Sam Asghari has released a statement in support of the singer and says he is “looking forward” to a “normal and incredible future”, which is exactly the kind of future we want for Britney as well.
“I have always wanted nothing but the best for my better half and I will continue to support her in her dreams and in creating the future she wants and deserves,” said the actor, who often appears in Spears’ photos on Instagram. People in Monday. “I am grateful for all the love and support she is receiving from her fans around the world, and I am looking forward to a normal and incredible future together.”
The filmmakers behind Armando Britney Spears say they did not talk to the singer during the making of the documentary, but say it was not for want of trying. “Since Britney has such a narrow circle around her, partly because of guardianship, or is allowed to be that way because of guardianship, journalists have not been able to interview her freely,” said director Samantha Stark Entertainment Tonight. “We, like New York Times, I didn’t interview her because we want to be able to do it freely, without anyone trying to adjust what she says or anything. And it looks like you can’t ask Britney. “
