The issue resurfaced in recent days after "Framing Britney Spears," a documentary by The New York Times, premiered on Hulu and FX. The film highlights the battle over Britney’s conservatorship — an arrangement that has allowed other people, including her father, to have control over her personal life and finances.
Kevin Federline, Spears’ ex-husband, has remained largely quiet on the conservatorship, but Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline’s family attorney, told FOX Television Stations' reporter Stephanie Weaver that the arrangement offers protections for Britney.

"I don’t think that’s a valid — it’s a concern, but I don’t think it’s one that’s founded in actuality."
