Britney Spears has criticised documentaries about her singing career and life in the spotlight as so hypocritical , by focusing on the most traumatic times of her life.
The pop star, who has been subject to a conservatorship since 2008 when she had a public breakdown captured by paparazzi cameras, is at the forefront of two recent films, one by the New York Times and one by the BBC.
The documentaries look at her career in the spotlight as well as mental health struggles which eventually led to her father Jamie obtaining joint control of her estate, 13 years ago alongside a wealth management company, despite Spears asking for him to be ousted from his role.
