Framing Britney Spears has responded to the singer’s criticism of the documentary, explaining how she “totally understands” her complaints.The documentary, which was released in February, covers the popstar’s struggles with paparazzi harassment leading up to her current conservatorship battle. Posting on Instagram after its release, Spears deemed it “hypocritical” because they “criticise the media and then do the same thing” by focusing on the negative.In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director Samantha Stark and senior story editor Liz Day discuss the documentary’s impact and Spears’ response.“While we were making the film, we talked a lot about re-traumatizing Britney and her family by showing these moments,” Stark said.
