‘Just because I really respect when artists actually say, “This is a documentary, it’s okay to watch this.” I respect their space and their privacy and their point of view,’ she added.

‘And their story — what they feel like their story is — from their brain, their heart, their mouth. So I kind of respect that.’

‘Everybody says they enjoyed it, which is great,’ she finished her thought.

Her main conservator is her father, Jamie Spears, who has control of her business affairs due to concerns for her mental health.

The conservatorship was put into place after Britney began showing signs of mental illness during her public breakdown in 2007 and was admitted for psychiatric care.
