Britney Spears Has Some Thoughts About the ‘NYT’ Documentary—& There’s a Lot to Unpack

Since The New York Times released its recent documentary, Framing Britney Spears, back in February, the internet has been focused on one question: “Has Britney seen it?” Well, after almost two months, the “Piece of Me” singer is finally ready to talk about it.

On Tuesday evening, the 39-year-old pop star shared a video clip of herself dancing on her personal Instagram account. She accompanied the video with a lengthy caption, in the middle of which she addressed the groundbreaking documentary. Turns out, she’s only seen bits and pieces of the Hulu doc.

“My life has always been very speculated ...watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!” she captioned the post. “For my sanity, I need to dance to @iamstevent every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!! I have been exposed my whole life performing in front of people!!! It takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability cause I've always been so judged... insulted... and embarrassed by the media... and I still am till this day!!!! As the world keeps on turning and life goes on we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people !!!”

“I didn't watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in ... I cried for two weeks and well .... I still cry sometimes !!!! I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy ... love ... and happiness!!!! Everyday dancing brings me joy !!! I'm not here to be perfect ... perfect is boring ... I'm here to pass on kindness!!!!”

If you didn’t know, the New York Times-produced documentary offers a glimpse into Spears’s infamous conservatorship, does a deep dive into how she was portrayed by the media and also touches upon her life as a mother and her public breakdown.

Spears previously alluded to the program in a separate Instagram caption one week after it aired writing, “Remember, no matter what we think we know about a person's life it is nothing compared to the actual person living behind the lens.”

Whatever you do, keep dancing, Britney.
