What's more, it is not as though Britney herself has been exactly quiet on on the matter. The star has been vocal in both her criticisms of her legal situation, as well as the media's portrayal of it.
Earlier this summer, Britney described the documentaries about her as "hypocritical".
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "So many documentaries about me this year with other people's takes on my life ... what can I say ... I'm deeply flattered !!!
"These documentaries are so hypocritical ... they criticize the media and then do the same thing???"
She went on to say: "Why highlight the most negative and traumatizing times in my life from forever ago?"
There is a deep irony in continually creating films and series about one woman's quest for autonomy, only to have her voice absent from that same narrative. As public interest in the conservatorship remains high, there will still be profits to be made from films and series about the star. And, while they may reiterate Britney's call for freedom, until she's given a more central role in telling her story, that freedom will belong to the writer or director in charge of her portrayal.Explore more on these topics:
