The New York Times is premiering a new Britney Spears documentary on February 5th

[Steel Magnolia]

The NY Times was the first mainstream media source to publish a serious article on the conservatorship.

Prior to that, it was way back in 2009, with Jenny Eliscu's Rolling Stone article.

At least that's all that I can think of off the top of my head.

hopefully this is content with well-intent

Didn’t THE NY TIMES ask the court to be able to cover and document the case? Sounds a good serious and more importantly, an unbiased media outlet which will back their source up with court documents rather than making up conspiracy theories.

The Episodes for this series are only 26 minutes long, they can barely scratch any surface with this runtime. I saw this on an Instagram post and did some research...the series used to be called “the weekly” on fx and when it got renewed for a second season it was renamed “the New York Times present:...” with the same runtimes

is it possible this is being pushed out by her dad and her new business manager aka MJ’s former business manager? If so......not good

[Justin Woodpond]

@Jordan Miller a while back didn’t some lady for the NYT want exhale memebers to send her media, namely videos, of Britney performing and interacting with her fans, for a documentary that the news publication was producing?  

Perhaps I’m mistaken? Can you shed some light on this? 

If correct, I’m assuming it’s the same people behind this documentary.

I'm wondering if Ingham has leaked any documents to the filmmakers.

It would be a nice little "scoop" for them.

Tbh I dont know what to think, I dont trust Ingham, I think hes shady. I think hed only do that If he benefits somehow with the possibility of that hurting Jamies rep. Also I want to see how the whole thing will be, If they will paint Jamie as a savior and talk about us like flat earth nuts.

This could bring HUGE exposure and cast a light on the movement that is MUCH needed. This is extremely exciting (as long as it’s done truthfully and calls out the corruption of the conservatorship). This can be Britney’s “voice” right now since she can’t use hers until she’s free (or in court).

ah that's too short but hopefully it sparks interest in the general public

I gave a Zoom interview but no idea if I’ll make the final cut. 😌

That did happen yes but they were different people I believe.

From what I recall, when I was speaking with them, it was not meant to be recorded. So I was wearing an oversized purple Prince shirt and hair looking a mess 😂. The woman interviewing me was so compelled that she asked if she could start recording the convo. And I was like  but I wasn’t going to say no of course lol. So if I do somehow make the episode prepare for Trolldan

From my recollection they were pretty neutral, however it was clear (at least to me) this was meant to shed light on the injustice of it all. Didn’t feel pro conservatorship to me at all. Now, what the episode will air remains to be seen. That’s just my recollection. All in all it was a good experience being interviewed for it.

Have you read the NY Times article from 2016? I posted it further up in the thread. It's been a few years since I've read it, but I remember tweeting both of the journalists at the time it came out, complimenting them on the story.

I'm on the other side of the fence -- I've been super impressed with Ingham so far. I've read over the docs, and believe he's got a strategy and is playing the long game.

I understand that Ingham did **** all for the first 11 years, but I also believe that Jamie's side had him and Britney backed into a corner. I don't think he had much to work with in terms of fighting for her. I believe the option was always there that she *could* fight, but the cons outweighed the pros up until the point that Jamie assaulted Preston. At that point, Britney had nothing left to lose, because her primary goal for all of those years was maintaining visitation rights to the boys.

I think there's a *story* that we haven't heard yet, in terms of how they railroaded her into the conservatorship in the first place. It began in late 2006, and really started to gain steam in February 2007. It involved rehab, and what they (Jamie, Lynne, Lou, Larry, Kevin, and his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan) did to get her to admit herself. I believe it involves ***** planted in her home (as mentioned by Lynne Spears in "Through The Storm") which led to her admitting herself into rehab to avoid criminal charges. From that moment forward, Kevin had the upper hand in the courts. It contributed to a judge later calling her "a habitual, frequent and continuous” user of ***** and alcohol that summer. Whether true or false, it didn't matter. It eventually meant constant vigilance on the part of her conservators (and behaviour such as that exhibited towards people like Iggy Azalea). It meant she couldn't tour without the conservatorship -- because the insurance companies wouldn't allow an alleged addict to tour without supervision.

That's all a hunch on my part, pieced together from all the little scraps of evidence over the years.

So, I'm excited to see what the NY Times will come out with. I don't think it will be a one-sided story. I think it will be just the opposite.

I think they've got a scoop.
