Britney Spears has not seen “Framing Britney Spears”, but she knows about the New York Times documentary that is highlighting her conservation problems, a source told Page Six exclusively.
“On Sunday, Britney had not seen the documentary, but she is aware of that,” said the source. “She hadn’t seen any of that.”
When asked whether Britney, 39, was not allowed to view the documentation as part of her legal restrictions, the source shared that it was the pop star’s decision not to watch it.
“She chose not to attend because she is fed up with guardianship,” said the source. “She feels that a hole is missing in her life because of guardianship and that she will not be able to live a normal life until this is over. She knows it is a battle for life. “
In November, Britney’s lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, claimed in an audience that the “Toxic” singer was “scared” of her father, Jamie Spears, and wanted him to be removed from her guardianship. “She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career,” he said.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny refused to suspend Jamie, 68, from her duties, but said she was open to hearing arguments for her removal in the future. The Bessemer Trust was named co-conservative.
Jamie told CNN in December that he had not spoken to his daughter in months.
“When a family member needs special care and protection, families need to strive, as I have for the past 12 years, to safeguard, protect and continue to love Britney unconditionally,” he said. “I have and will continue to provide unshakable love and fierce protection against those with selfish interests and those who seek to harm her or my family.
Britney has been in guardianship since her infamous mental breakdown in 2007.
“Framing Britney Spears”, which was released Friday on FX and Hulu, showed the “Baby One More Time” singer’s rise to fame, mental health problems as a result of severe public scrutiny, tutelage and the #FreeBritney movement.
Over the weekend, celebrities came in droves to show their support, calling the pop star’s situation “sad” and “moving”.
But despite the latest microscopic attention to his ongoing legal issues due to the documentary, a source told Page Six on Monday that Britney is “happy and excited”.
The next trial on the battle for guardianship is on February 11.
