Britney Spears talks about constantly receiving 'untrue' scripts for her biopic; Credits: Billboard
Nothing could be more tiring than being in the public eye for an extended period of time and being followed EVERYWHERE by cameras with no sense of respect for privacy.
Britney Spears, the legendary singer, lived with this reality for a long time, and when she eventually slipped due to the constant mental pressure and erratic paparazzi spying, she landed herself in a conservatorship. Now that she is finally out of the problematic legal bounds, Britney is once again being hounded by fame-sick creeps continuously pesting her with scripts on her life so that her privacy could again be exposed on the screens as a biopic. The most terrible part of the scripts is that more than half of those aren't "even true."
This past Wednesday on October 27, Britney took to sharing her apparent thoughts on these so-called 'biopic scripts' and exposed the horrific obsession of Hollywood with Britney's most personal moments. Despite the gravity of the issue, Britney captioned the video "Just saying" as she went on to reveal the 'puzzling' behavior of some people.
The actress began her video in a surprising British accent, because why not and told, "You know, what's really puzzling to me is all these people are starting to send me all these scripts for my own life, but none of these scripts are even true." And then she added, "Aren't I supposed to play the role in my own life?"
Britney further revealed that it is not just her constantly receiving totally bizarre scripts of her own life. Evidently, Madonna, the iconic "Queen of Pop," is also not safe from these unnecessary pryings into her life. Britney also took to sharing Madonna's ordeal in the video and proceeded to discuss the singer's comments about her own 'biopics.' Madonna had gone on to say that after reading countless “hideous superficial crap,” she decided to write her own biopic script.
Britney shared, "Madonna also went on Jimmy Fallon as well, and she said people are sending her scripts about the movies about her life, and the scripts aren't even true. What are they thinking?"
The singer further explained: "The more I think about it, I'm 39, Madonna's 60. I’m not dead. What are they thinking?" The two singers had collaborated for the "Me Against the Music," back in 2003, and the 'Vogue' singer had maintained a close relationship with Britney. She also stays in contact with Britney to "check in on her" especially as Britney went through the terrible times of reclaiming her conservatorship.
The pop star, aged 39, spoke in a British accent throughout the video, which sounded quite different from Britney's usual Louisiana twang. The artist is also said to have gone through tremendous training to sound like a baby's high pitch and has maintained a nasal voice. Apparently, in most of her concerts, Britney lip syncs instead of singing, but she does sing live when she wishes to.
We don't know why Britney chose to speak in a British accent but maybe she is hinting at a possible cameo in the next season of The Crown. Now that several projects have taken flight willing to bring her life to the screens, it is obvious that Britney commented on the sheer lack of privacy she is owed. A few docuseries taking a bit too much interest in her life are Framing Britney Spears, Controlling Britney Spears, and Britney vs Spears.
Her 13-year long conservatorship ran in favor of her father, who controlled her life for the most part. Recently, the singer won her battle to end the conservatorship, and the hashtag #FreeBritney trended on social media to show support for the cause. She took the help of her lawyer Mathew Rosengart, who worked together with her to put an end to the legal bind placed on her since 2008.
The court hearings had taken place in June and July this year, with the court eventually ending the conservatorship in September. The court ended the patriarchal rule of Jamie Spears, Britney's father, aged 69. Beyond the case, there are talks of Britney suing her father for conservatorship abuse.
Britney has been quite open about the trauma that her family inflicted upon her in these long years and said that she was in talks about suing her family. During the court hearing in June, Britney had said, "I would honestly like to sue my family. I also would like to be able to share my story with the world and what they did to me, instead of it being a hush-hush secret to benefit all of them."
Since then, Britney has shared more about the injustice that she had to face over the years at the hand of her family and in a recent October 26 post even mentioned that she wants justice.
Her post included a picture of a typewriter shared along with a lengthy caption that read: "This message is to my family … for hurting me deeper than you’ll ever know. I know the conservatorship is about to be over, but I still want justice !!! I'm only 5'4' and I've played the bigger person my entire life … do you know how hard that is ???"
Britney had even claimed that her father had been illegally spying on her during the interim of the 13 years of the conservatorship. While he is now suspended from the role, another hearing is to take place in November this year.
