In an Instagram video posted on Monday, fans thought Britney was not just talking about the Super Bowl &#8212; which aired two days after the documentary &#8212; when she said, &#8220;I was so excited but honestly, I was rooting for Kansas City but I was also rooting for the other team so it was a little confusing for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch a sneak peek of tonight&#39;s <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NYTPresents?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"  target=\"_blank\"  >#NYTPresents<\/a>: Framing Britney Spears. 10 p.m. on <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FXNetworks?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"  target=\"_blank\"  >@FXNetworks<\/a> and <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hulu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"  target=\"_blank\"  >@Hulu<\/a>. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lfG7UIUywC\"  rel=\"nofollow\"  target=\"_blank\"  >pic.twitter.com\/lfG7UIUywC<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">&mdash; FX Documentaries (@FXDocs) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FXDocs\/status\/1357841438017425410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"  target=\"_blank\"  >February 6, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">The video then did a jump-cut and with a sly expression, the <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/pics\/britney-spears-sexiest-photos\/\"  >&#8220;Toxic&#8221; singer<\/a> mysteriously said, &#8220;I love sharing.&#8221; Like with many of her videos, fans insisted the clip was code for a larger controversy at hand.

In August, she requested it to be &#8220;changed substantially in order to reflect the major changes in her current lifestyle and her stated wishes,&#8221; according to <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2020\/08\/18\/britney-spears-conservatorship-changes-dad-jamie-documents\/\"  >court documents<\/a> reviewed by <strong>HollywoodLife<\/strong> at the time. Then, in Nov. 2020, Britney requested that the Bessemer Trust Company <a  href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2020\/11\/04\/britney-spears-remove-dad-jamie-conservatorship-request-court-documents\/\"  >replace her father<\/a> as \u201cthe sole conservator of her estate,\u201d according to other court documents that we also reviewed. However, a judge reportedly denied this request; while the trust company was added, her father remained on the conservatorship as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Asghari issued a supportive statement about his &#8216;better half,&#8217; Britney Spears, three days after the release of a documentary about his girlfriend&#8217;s controversial conservatorship and life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142621564,"featured_media":4324090,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exclude_post_from_river":false,"_cr_original_post":"","_cr_replace_post_id":"","_cr_replacing_post_id":"","mt_seo_title":"Sam Asghari Reacts To Britney Spears' Documentary: See Statement","mt_seo_description":"Sam Asghari reacted to the new 'Framing Britney Spears' documentary with a supportive statement for his girlfriend.","_pmc_canonical_override":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2021-02-09T04:50:33Z","apple_news_api_id":"bf1bf92b-c606-4fdb-b2a4-8af7686f98dd","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2021-02-10T02:59:53Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/Avxv5K8YGT9uypIr3aG-Y3Q","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[378005375,378005365],"tags":[378005050,378003667],"_post-options":[],"coauthors":[378006445],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sam-Asghari-Britney-Spears-mega-ftr.jpg?fit=620%2C350","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pc8i1J-i8Ti","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4324084"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/142621564"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4324084"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4324084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4324996,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4324084\/revisions\/4324996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4324090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4324084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4324084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4324084"},{"taxonomy":"_post-options","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/_post-options?post=4324084"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=4324084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
