‘Controlling Britney Spears’ Reveals New Details of Her Life Under Conservatorship

A new documentary by The New York Times features interviews with key insiders and people with firsthand information about how the conservatorship controlled the pop star’s life.

Watch on Friday, Sept. 24, at 10 p.m. on FX or stream it on Hulu.

Britney Spears expressed strong objections in June to the court-sanctioned conservatorship, which was largely led by her father, that controlled her life. But how the conservatorship worked had never been fully understood.

Now, after her impassioned speech to a Los Angeles court over the summer, key insiders have come forward to talk publicly for the first time about what they saw. They provide the most detailed account yet of Spears’s life under the unusual legal arrangement that, for the past 13 years, stripped away many of her rights.

A new documentary by The New York Times, “Controlling Britney Spears,” reveals a portrait of an intense surveillance apparatus that monitored every move the pop star made. This new film, by the makers of the Emmy-nominated “Framing Britney Spears,” features exclusive interviews with members of Spears’s inner circle who had intimate knowledge of her life under the conservatorship.

“It really reminded me of somebody that was in prison,” said a former employee of the security firm hired by Spears’s father to protect her. “And security was put in a position to be the prison guards essentially.”

When Britney Spears told the court her conservatorship was abusive, she worried the public wouldn’t believe her. People sought us out -- at great risk to themselves -- because they felt compelled to back her up with evidence. The “Framing Britney Spears” follow-up airs tonight.

Premieres tonight at 10pm on FX and starts streaming at 10pm ET / 7pm PT on Hulu under "The New York Times Presents."

I know I guess they just decided to a surprise drop without promo! Erin Lee Carr and Netflix are probably so annoyed. I wonder if any of the sources overlap.

These documents are springing up like mushrooms.

Today we've got TNYT, Sunday is CNN, and Tuesday is Netflix. In addition, there is a court hearing on Wednesday. More is happening than with the promotion of the album.

Nah Brett definitely does not care at all, she was controlling too. I didn’t recognize that woman but we will find out tonight

Ugh now it's getting abusive... Can't people control themselves? Now they're profiting off of her... Again.

This can also somehow divert or dissolve our attention. If there's too much to watch or listen to, many people don't watch or listen at all. They are starting to infoxicate us on the topic.

Plus, isn't it ironic that she has explicitly said that SHE DOES NOT WANT THESE DOCUMENTARIES, yet they keep coming? They "hear her but don't listen".

Who is she?? Omg 

[Duff Man]

Where can I watch it?? I don't have hulu

[bitbitboi]

I swear DJ Khaled is behind all of them.
