Sam Asghari is questioning motives behind the upcoming documentaries about Britney Spears' life and conservatorship battle.
Asghari, 27, posted a statement on his Instagram story hours before the FX documentary, "Controlling Britney Spears," was set to premiere on Hulu as a follow-up to "Framing Britney Spears."
"Apparently my opinion has increased in value over the last few days," Asghari began his statement. "Past docs left bad aftertaste. I'm hopeful this one will be respectful. I don't blame CNN, BBC or NETFLIX (wich [sic] got me thru lockdowns [emoji]) for airing them because as an actor I tell other peoples [sic] stories too."
"I question producers who made them ‘just to shed light’ without input or approval from subject," he continued. "Any credit for light being shed should go to #freebritney."
