Britney Spears has responded to fresh scrutiny on her life in the spotlight after a second documentary aired over the weekend.
Just three months after the Framing Britney Spears documentary, the BBC released The Battle For Britney: Fans, Cash And A Conservatorship via its web streaming service on Saturday.
Like Framing Britney Spears, the new film explores the #FreeBritney movement and the singer s complicated 13-year conservatorship, which the star will address in court herself in the coming months. It features interviews with Perez Hilton, makeup artist Billy Brasfield and choreographer Brian Friedman.
The Princess of Pop has been under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears for almost 13 years now following a series of mental breakdowns after her divorce.
In the documentary, Azhar speaks to one member of the #FreeBritney movement, Hayley Herms, who alleges that Spears was on dementia medication, saying: “I’ve seen dementia and there is no way any dementia patient is going on world tours, doing Vegas residencies, is learning 27 back-to-back combo numbers, full choreo.”
Azhar initially shrugs off the claim as a “conspiracy theory”, but later found an alleged court document online which appeared to be signed by Jamie Spears, ticking a box related to “dementia placement or treatment”.
“There’s only two options with that. Britney might have dementia. Now I’m not a doctor but if that’s the case, then the world isn’t aware of that. But the other option is actually more sinister,” Azhar says.
BRITNEY Spears’ dad says she has dementia, a bombshell TV documentary reveals.
Jamie, 68, put the condition on forms which he used to justify having control over the finances of his pop superstar daughter, 39.

Britney s furious fans rubbished her dad’s claim she has a brain condition saying: “Dementia patients do not go on world tours.”
However, the pop star, 39, has since released four albums, done four energy-sapping global tours and performed 248 gigs in Las Vegas.
