“I now understand the infamous 2007 Britney moment.”
As Britney’s name has been trending on Twitter all day, here are just some of the reactions to the documentary:
Some were taken by the portrayal of the paparazzi following Britney:
I now understand the infamous 2007 Britney moment. And I would totally beat the shit outta that paparazzi car window too. Framing Britney Spears is doing a great job at showing us what she was really going through.

the Framing Britney Spears doc holy fuck.
no artist today would have to endure the literal torture that media/society/utter misogynists inflicted upon her.
the mental health awareness conversation, culturally, could never be where it is without the awful price she has paid.

Justin Timberlake cheated on his wife on camera and the media focused on that for half a day.
Britney showed cleavage at the age of 18 and the media harassed her ever since. #FramingBritneySpears

Of course, many people questioned the conservatorship at the heart of the documentary — especially the role of Britney’s dad, Jamie:
Britney was able to perform several shows a day during her residency, handle promo on all the late night shows, make a new album, and shoot new music videos, but the courts didn’t think she could handle making day to day decisions??#FramingBritneySpears

#FramingBritneySpears “My daughter is gonna be so rich she’s gonna buy me a boat”. So Jamie Spears said this, after being absent from his daughter’s life and this is the person who is in charge of her finances.
