‘BULLS*** !!! Is it all regulated in talking sh** ???’ she exclaimed.
Motive: Britney Spears, 41, questioned the motive behind documentaries focused on her in a long Instagram post Monday (pictured in Los Angeles in July 2019)

There was also The New York Times’ documentary Framing Britney Spears, which was released in February 2021.
At the time of its release, Britney said she was embarrassed and ‘cried for two weeks’ over it.
The new social media post began with Spears sharing an older passage from Lady Gaga‘s manager, Bobby Campbell.
In 2021 he was concerned about the motive behind the number of projects being produced around Spears was disturbing.
At the time, Campbell remarked, ‘There needs to be transparency about how or whether the filmmakers are profiting from this doc, of if defense, of to legal defense funds to aide those who do not have the financial resources to fight against undue conservatorships.’
Benefit: The Circus singer said ‘ hour long documentaries showing my hardest times 3 years ago proclaiming I’m supposed to benefit from THAT !!!’ were ”BULLS**T !!! Is it all regulated in talking sh*t ???’
New doc: TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: Divorce and Despair was released on Hulu in August. The film looks at the singer’s life post-conservatorship including her marriage and separation from Sam Asghari (pictured In Beverly Hills in April 2018)
He added, ‘But is Britney Spears okay with people making these documentaries?’
The Overprotected artist reacted to his message by writing: ‘Interesting. The last sentence !!! Would it matter if I wasn’t ok with it ??? JUST SAYING !!!!’
She drew comparisons to other contentious situations, saying, ‘Come on duals and most arguments are always calculated through 2 sides !!!
‘The bottom line is intention !!!
‘What angle were they coming at ??? Was it to demonstrate support … understanding … love ??? Why no !!! None of these !!! It was to offend and offend only !!!’
The termination of Britney’s 13 year conservatorship made headline news.
