\u00ab\u00a0Britney’s never had one person she could trust,\u00a0\u00bb one of the pop star’s ex-boyfriends says in new footage<\/b>
\nNetflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming documentary \u201cBritney vs Spears,\u201d teasing pieces of the pop star\u2019s fight to end her conservatorship dating all the way back to January of 2009. The documentary is set to illuminate just how much distrust there was between the pop star and her family, and what it was that finally got people to start opening up about her conservatorship. You can watch the full trailer for the Netflix documentary in the video above. The film is set to feature \u201cyears-long investigative work\u201d along with \u201cexclusive interviews and new documents\u201d from people previously quiet on the subject, but \u201cwithout utilizing the traumatic images that have previously defined her.\u201d Netflix\u2019s documentary will be directed by Erin Lee Carr, who teamed up with journalist Jenny Eliscu to uncover more pieces of the story. Carr is known for previously directing the Netflix miniseries \u201cHow to Fix a Drug Scandal\u201d and the HBO documentary \u201cAt the Heart of Gold\u201d about the scandal surrounding physician Larry Nassar and the U.S. Olympic gymnast team. Netflix\u2019s take on the singer\u2019s circumstances comes after \u201cFraming Britney Spears,\u201d from The New York Times and FX, which focused on Spears\u2019s conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, as well as the \u201cFree Britney\u201d movement surrounding her court battle, released in February. Earlier this month, the singer\u2019s father filed a petition with the court to officially dissolve her conservatorship, on the basis of questioning \u201cwhether circumstances have changed to such an extent that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist.\u201d The FX documentary also shined a light on how the media obsessed over Britney Spears for years, as well as the often misogynistic narratives in the coverage that followed her. Attention about the documentary even led to Justin Timberlake, who once dated Spears, to issue an apology to both her and Janet Jackson for how he \u201cbenefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.\u201d \u201cBritney vs Spears\u201d will be released on Netflix on September 28,2021.<\/p>\n
