Hey everyone, we’re still out on maternity leave. This week we’re bringing you a double feature re-release of our coverage on the #FreeBritney movement.
If you haven't already, check out part 1 of our coverage. You can also watch The New York Times new documentary, "Framing Britney Spears" which shows the unfair and invasive media coverage Britney received as she struggled under the scrutiny of the public eye.
This episode covers the beginning of the conservatorship, its legal intricacies, how it has changed over the years, and sadly, how it's stayed much the same, even while Britney has become, what her lawyer has called, "highly functioning."
After checking out these throwback episodes, you can head over to our Patreon for some bonus content like our minisodes, including our update on the FreeBritney movement that was released after these episodes. We also have other bonus content like mixed bags, Wheel segments and Am I the Asshole questions - where Reddit users ask whether they're acting like assholes and we judge them!
Enjoy the episode! Thanks so much and keep it creepy
_As one of the biggest pop stars in the world, the paparazzi’s cameras were trained on her as she struggled to maintain control of her life. Then she wound up in one of the most restrictive arrangements under the law. Her family and legal team said it was necessary, but fans believed their beloved icon was begging for their help on her social media pages. Then the movement finally found some traction - but what happens next? _
