Following the recent release of documentaries about herself, including the New York Times’ Framing Britney Spears and the BBC’s The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship, the pop star wrote on social media that she was “deeply flattered” by the interest in her, but found the films to be “hypocritical”.
“So many documentaries about me this year with other people’s takes on my life,” she wrote. “What can I say? I’m deeply flattered!
“These documentaries are so hypocritical. They criticise the media and then do the same thing.”
The singer said that although she has been through “some pretty tough times”, the good has far outweighed the bad.
“I’ve had way more amazing times in my life and unfortunately my friends, I think the world is more interested in the negative,” she wrote.
“Why highlight the most negative and traumatising times in my life from forever ago?” the star added.

Spears also addressed comments from her former makeup artist Billy Brasfield, who claimed that the singer told him that she did not have control over the caption of the first post in which she spoke out about the Framing Britney Spears documentary.
“I immediately knew it was not her,” he told Page Six. “I texted her about it and she texted me back last night.”
Spears denied having talked to Brasfield, writing on Instagram: “I don’t actually talk to Billy B at all so I’m honestly very confused.”
“This is my Instagram!” she said.
