In The New York Times Presents: Controlling Britney Spears, a documentary that premiered on FX and Hulu Friday night, members of Britney Spears' inner circle are speaking out about how the pop diva has been handled under her conservatorship.

Controlling Britney Spears is the follow-up to Framing Britney Spears, and it covers interviews with insiders who had knowledge of Spears' life while she was in conservatorship. It is directed by Samantha Stark, with Liz Day as a supervising producer and reporter. They open up about how Spears' life was controlled in their interviews and respond to the singer's emotional statement. Felicia Culotta, Spears' former longtime assistant, Tish Yates, Dan George, the promotional tour manager of Spears' Circus Tour, and Alex Vlasov, a former executive assistant, operations and security manager of Spears' longtime security company Black Box Security, are among those featured. Culotta and others are now helping to shed light on the full situation behind the scenes, as well as the kind of control Spears was subjected to.

Controlling Britney Spears comes out only days before the publication of Britney vs. Spears, a private Netflix documentary about the conservatorship from director Erin Lee Carr, and a high-profile hearing on the arrangement on Tuesday. Spears' father petitioned the court to cancel his daughter's conservatorship earlier this month, after Spears' counsel filed a petition to have her father removed as her estate's conservator.
