Sarah Jessica Parker, Miley Cyrus, and Cher are among the many celebrities rallying around Britney Spears in the wake of the New York Times documentary, Framing Britney Spears.
The film follows the pop icon’s rise to fame and her battles with mental illness. The film, which aired last Friday On FX, details Spears’ mental breakdown in 2008 which led to her Father (Jamie Spears) court-ordered conservatorship.
Bette Midler, Tamron Hall, and Rico Nasty tweeted “#FreeBritney”. FreeBritney is a fan-fueled movement that uses social media to help Spears gain control of her life.

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.
The documentary highlights the torment that young women celebrities face at the hands of the media. The film revisits the relationship between Timberlake and Spears. Timberlake and the Media constantly painted him as a victim of Spear’s alleged infidelity.
Timberlake has also publicly bragged about having sex with the young star. The film sides with Timberlake and continues to paint Spears as the “school slut.”
