Filmmaker says Britney Spears’ DUI discourse mirrors the conservatorship battle
Filmmaker Erin Lee Carr, who directed the 2021 Britney Spears documentary Britney Vs Spears, says the discussion surrounding Spears after her DUI arrest feels painfully familiar, recalling how the conservatorship restricted her life and benefited others. Carr urges compassion rather than judgment and notes that the new coverage does not erase the history of what Spears endured, including the public fight that led to the conservatorship’s lifting in 2021.
