Britney Jean Spears

Claire Donald & Tess Bellomo
About this episode

We are kicking off our Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll month with the icon that is Britney Jean Spears. From her childhood in Louisianna and her meteoric rise to fame, to the intense media scrutiny and paparazzi frenzy that surrounded Britney and the horrific conservatorship that controlled her life for over a decade and lead to the #FreeBritney movement. Detours include Friends, Sonic and The Real Housewives.

Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo
