The documentary is produced by The New York Times and is called “Framing Britney Spears”. It follows Spears’ rise to fame and takes a deep dive into his court-ordered tutelage. Spears is currently involved in a legal battle with his father, Jamie Spears, who has served as a tutor to his finances for over a decade. Spears says through his lawyer that he no longer wants his father to look after his finances.
Miley Cyrus, Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler are just a few of the big names who showed support for Spears after the film’s debut.
Parker and Midler simply tweeted, “#FreeBritney” a hashtag that has gone viral in recent years, led by a group of popstar fans who believe she should be released from her guardianship.
During Cyrus’ performance before the Super Bowl on Sunday, she said, “We love Britney” while on stage.
Paramore’s Hayley Williams tweeted, “No artist today would have to endure the literal torture that the media / society / absolute misogynists inflicted on her. The conversation about mental health, culturally, could never be where it is without the terrible price she paid.”
CNN contacted Spear’s representatives for comment.
The next hearing in the Spears battle for her guardianship will be on February 11.
