Celebrities are showing their love and support for Britney Spears [1] following the release of Framing Britney Spears [2]. The documentary aired in the US on 5 Feb. as part of the sixth instalment of FX and Hulu's The New York Times Presents docuseries, and dives into the the life and career of the 39-year-old pop star, with a focus on Britney's ongoing conservatorship battle [3] with her dad, Jamie Spears (it is rumoured the docuseries will come to the UK [4] in the spring). It examines everything from the media's toxic treatment of the singer to the misogynistic narrative that erupted after her split from Justin Timberlake [5] in 2002.
In the wake of the documentary, stars and fans alike have rallied around the singer on social media. Britney's longtime boyfriend, Sam Asghari, broke his silence on the matter by giving an exclusive statement to People [6] and calling Jamie a "total d*ck" on his Instagram Story. Fans have also praised Craig Ferguson for previously defending the pop star when few else would. Keep reading to see how other celebrities have voiced their support for Britney ahead.
