The recent New York Times (NYT) documentary, Framing Britney Spears, has engendered renewed media scrutiny around the pop star, and most notably, the controversial conservatorship she was placed under after her publicised meltdown in 2008. The infamous photos of Spears wielding an umbrella at a paparazzi’s car after shaving her head, served as a meme and punchline for years to come, despite portraying a moment of great personal tragedy. By extension, it also illustrates the limited vocabulary we had associated with mental health just 12 years ago, as well as the ruinous effects of the pressure on those in the public eye to reconcile the contradictory pressures of modern womanhood. The fact that her distress was not only mocked, but used on national television as a punchline, unwittingly reveals the cultural normalisation of Spears’ persecution at the hands of the paparazzi, tabloids, music industry, and those around her. This succinctly captures the callous disregard and ridicule Spears was subjected to in the wake of her public mental health crisis.
Meanwhile, Sam addressed rumors that the couple were heading toward a divorce.Ĭheck out Britney Spears' latest post below.“Name something Britney Spears has lost in the past year.” To raucous laughter and applause, the answers “her hair,” “her dignity” and “her husband” were called out on a 2008 episode of the popular game show, Family Feud. Last week, one of Britney's former collaborators debunked a common theory about her. She explained why she felt the need to speak out, too: "I’m sharing this because I have worked hard to get in shape, yet I don’t look like the pictures that the paps take !!! God knows my body ain’t perfect but I did want to share what my body looks like at the moment … I worked my a-s off and for some people like that trainer who might see those nasty pap pics and secretly smile … Yup, y’all got it … I have 4 hours of footage from me shooting this yesterday and b-tch, I’m just getting started 😉😉😉 …" "I obviously didn’t hire her so I did it myself !!! I work out for 45 min, 3x a week … that’s it !!!"

"The first thing she did to me was literally … and I’m not even lying … pinch the skin on my stomach and legs and told me I need to get my younger body back … why the hell did she do that ? It made me cry," Britney wrote. Noting that the photos "didn’t look like my body," she said that she felt the need to reach out to a personal trainer. "I went out with a friend and same thing !!!" "It was horrible because they got a pic of me in a helpless situation, so of course I get protective of myself," she recalled.
She explained that in Los Angeles, "my car broke down the other day and I got out telling Hesam to come on my side and the paps were there and took pics 🙄🙄🙄 … I looked like an idiot !!! My facial expression, the way I was leaning over, the pooch in my stomach !!!" "It’s so beautiful out and I want to get out more … paps are everywhere but not nearly as bad as it is in LA though," Britney said in regards to a trip she just took with a friend. The pop star shared a video of herself dancing in a crop top on Monday (April 10). However, the trainer told her something very cruel. In a new post on social media, she explained that the unflattering photos got to her, which led to her decision to contact a personal trainer. The 41-year-old "Piece of Me" pop star is followed by the paparazzi whenever they catch her out, and she's previously accused them of making her body look bad in their photos.
