An editor of a magazine who use to interview Britney revealed how she was part of a secret meeting to get her a new lawyer. At the Montage Hotel in Los Angeles, the editor describes sneaking into the bathroom with a letter created by Britney’s friend that she would sign to prove she wanted a new lawyer. After Britney signed the letter, the editor never heard from Britney again. Later on, the editor reveals how Britney’s father and team found out, disproving the letter immediately and cutting ties with both the editor and Britney.

This information is key because the editor said that no one talked about this occurrence with Britney and how she wanted a new lawyer in the early stages of the court case. Other documentaries, like Framing Britney Spears, managed to accomplish a lot, but Britney Vs. Spears really delves into the level of secrecy that was required in Britney’s personal life just to even get a lawyer of her choosing.

Britney was very upset not by this test but rather how hypocritical it was for her father with a history of alcohol and drug abuse to not have a similar penalty. The documentary showed that Britney didn’t fight back about adhering to this requirement, but only wanted the same penalty to be imposed on her father to determine his right to be her conservator. However, this request was not considered.

Knowing that Britney only wanted fairness is heartbreaking for fans to see. This requested penalty especially highlights to fans how the court did not listen to Britney at all or even take the hint that her father has a bad history with alcohol, as well.
