Britney Spears has taken to Instagram to label the surge in documentaries about her life as “hypocritical”. 

After posting another of her regular videos of her dancing, Spears opened up about her feelings on Framing Britney Spears and other subsequent docos that are currently in production.

“2021 is definitely way better than 2020 but I never knew it was gonna be like THIS,” she began.

“So many documentaries about me this year with other people’s takes on my life,” she continued, “what can I say … I’m deeply flattered !!!!”

“These documentaries are so hypocritical … they criticize the media and then do the same thing.”

Spears continued on to call out the media for focusing on the negative aspects of her life, saying:  “I don’t know y’all but I’m thrilled to remind you all that although I’ve had some pretty tough times in my life … I’ve had waaaayyyy more amazing times in my life”.

“Why highlight the most negative and traumatizing times in my life from forever ago?”

She also referenced Billy B, a make-up artist who features in the recent documentary The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship, alleging that she isn’t in control of her social media.

“I don’t actually talk to Billy B AT ALL so I’m honestly so confused…This is my Instagram!!!” she said.

Spears previously revealed that she spent two weeks crying after the release of Framing Britney Spears, saying: “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in… I cried for two weeks and well…. I still cry sometimes !!!!”

Meanwhile, as reported by The Sun, the upcoming doco The Battle for Britney will reveal paperwork that shows Spears’ father Jamie checked a box that said “dementia placement or treatment” as a reason to continue her conservatorship.

Spears has not yet publicly addressed the claims of her suffering from dementia.

However, it was announced last week that Spears is due to address the court personally at her next conservatorship hearing.
