Britney Spears fans are campaigning for Oprah Winfrey to sit down with the pop star for a tell-all interview about her conservatorship and life.
Following the iconic interviewer’s bombshell special with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Spears’ supporters believe Winfrey, 67, is the best person to dig deep with the “Toxic” singer.
“Can’t stop thinking about how much we need an Oprah interview with Britney,” one person tweeted. “It would absolutely change her life.”
Podcaster Kate Casey wrote, “Dear @Oprah – We need you to interview Britney now.”
A source told Entertainment Tonight that Spears, 39, has actually “considered speaking out” because she “doesn’t feel others should tell her story.”
The source added that Spears has “always hated doing interviews,” but “Oprah would most likely be her first choice.”
Last month, The New York Times released their “Framing Britney Spears” documentary, which focused on the media scrutiny surrounding the pop superstar throughout her career and the rise of the #FreeBritney movement amid her conservatorship battle.
The highly praised doc garnered lots of attention, and featured interviews with people from Spears’ past, including former assistant Felicia Culotta, but not the singer herself.
This wouldn’t be the first time Winfrey has interviewed Spears. The talk show host sat down with the pop star in 2002 at the peak of her career.
Even in that interview, Spears, then 20, shared that she felt she was coming into her own as a young woman, “knowing what I want” and “not having people have to tell me [what to do.]”
“They mean well,” she added. “I think there is a factor about me that people want to protect.”
Following her 2007 breakdown, Spears was placed under a conservatorship that allowed her father, Jamie Spears, to control her personal and financial decisions. While he still remains co-conservator of her finances, care manager Jodi Montgomery has been temporary conservator of her personal matters since 2019.
After the success of “Framing Britney Spears,” Page Six learned Spears wanted to work on her own documentary with a top female filmmaker to open up about her story, but feared her father could take control of the film to paint himself in a better light.
“He is drunk with power over Britney’s life,” the source told us. “She wants to work, she wants to make music and perform, but he is too controlling.”
A rep for Spears did not immediately return our request for comment.
