The article was written in September 2021, the same month that Britney got engaged to now-husband Sam Asghari. Her stifling 13-year conservatorship ended in November.

Britney writes, “He went on to say ‘There needs to be transparency about how or whether the filmmakers are profiting from this doc, or if defense, or to legal defense funds to aide those who do not have the financial resources to fight against undue conservatorships.'”

"But is Britney Spears okay with people making those documentaries?" the article ends.

Several months later and finally freed of her conservatorship, Britney gives her answer.

Britney: ‘How Is It Honestly Legal To Do That Many Documentaries About Someone Without Their Blessing At All?’

Britney began, “I feel like America has done a wonderful job at humiliating me … just like literally after being dropped off at this airport do you know in all my 20 years, never not one time have I been picked me up in a golf cart?”

“I’ve walked 30 yards every time I’ve landed in America to my car … unless I have a man on board and he uses his brain and says ‘please have Ms. Spears a car by the plane’ which is rare,” she continued. “It’s all I’ve known … Walk to the f---ing car … but look why they actually did their job for the first time – they knew they were gonna take my pic so they so lovingly brought it for the first time in 20 years. That’s America for ya !!”

“I’ve never felt more bullied in my life in this country,” Britney wrote. “It’s insane … and come on seriously is it honestly legal to do that many documentaries about someone without their blessing at all ??!”

“Seriously though, think about it … I’ve never seen that many documentaries done on a person … Will Smith, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez,” she went on. “Not one person on the face of this earth would people – a network, TV production or anyone for that latter – dig up that much negative footage and do hour specials claiming its ‘HELPING ME.’ REALLY ???”

“It was the most insulting thing I ever saw in my life and every person I have spoken to has said it’s why the conservatorship ended … REALLY ??? That’s the saddest thing I ever saw in my life … so people not only get away with what they did to me, not even coming close to sharing what they really did to me, but they can expose me on such an embarrassing tone claiming it’s to ‘Help me.’”

“I’m not sure why people think it’s legal to completely humiliate me,” she continued. “It would never happen to Will Smith, Halle [Berry], or Jane Doe. I just want to know how are all these people saying it helped me when I feel by with just my mouth and my WORD and what I said in my testimony to the judge !!”

“THAT said it all … that would be ENOUGH. But not in America !!” Britney wrote. “Every person jumps on board with these heartbreaking documentaries and forget the 13 years in my conservatorship … making up for some of my past they literally have no remorse at all. They have always treated me like that, literally that’s exactly what my family did to me. They threw me away and treated me like nothing, just like the private airport where they set me up for a cheap shot.”

“Honestly it’s not the fact that they do the whole embarrassing ugly pic sell of me … it’s all the effort in how much research of bad footage they went through to get the footage for the documentaries,” Britney continued. “It’s so insulting it’s not even funny. And no a—hole, my legs look nothing like that !!!”

“America … this nation has been one thing and one thing only to me – a bully,” Britney wrote, before recalling a scary experience with her security team.

“I waited for security at my door for 2 hours in my room on the island I flew in when a scary, weird butler showed up at my room. They never came until 2 hours later … I called their cell number and their hotel number, I called the CONCIERGE … call them 8 million times and no response, nothing. You’re gonna tell me that’s not f---ing with a woman ??!”

“I’m tired of protecting people who don’t protect me,” Britney Spears concluded. “I left them on the island and I will slate that as one of the most significant things I’ve done in my whole life. What would that be ?? Just this alone.” She capped off the most with three middle finger emojis.

Fans showered her post with positive messages and comments of support.
