When the\u00a0New York Times <\/em>bombshell documentary\u00a0Framing Britney Spears<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was released earlier this year, we thought the project could do the #FreeBritney movement a service. Instead, the pop star took to social media to express how “humiliated”<\/a> she felt by it. Amid a lengthy court battle to have Jamie Spears removed from the conservatorship, the film’s director has broken her silence on the singer’s past criticism.<\/p>\n

Samantha Stark spoke to\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>noting that during production, there were conversations as to whether the documentary would re-traumatize Spears.<\/p>\n

“While we were making the film, we talked a lot about re-traumatizing Britney and her family by showing these moments,” Stark told the publication. “Part of the reason it’s called Framing Britney Spears is there are these still-photo frames that were humiliating to her. We thought it was really important to pull outside the frame because so many people had all these assumptions based on one frame, one still image that they saw.”<\/p>\n
