Former Britney Spears Director Debunks Commonly Held Theory About Her, Reveals a Time She was 'Dying With Embarrassment' & Talks Working With Her During Conservatorship

The director behind Britney Spears‘ I Am Britney Jean is speaking out about his experience with the Princess of Pop.

Fenton Bailey worked with the 41-year-old “Toxic” siren on the 2013 documentary, which was filmed in the midst of her conservatorship.

In a new interview, he debunked a common theory about her life and spoke to what he witnessed going on between the star, her father and team.

While on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, Fenton explained that Britney isn’t what most might think based on the image she promotes onstage.

“She’s really not this kind of… We think that, you know, because of ‘Oops!…I Did It Again’ or ‘Slave 4 U,’ we think she’s just, like, this charged up sex strumpet,” he said during the interview. “That’s not who she is.”

That might hold up onstage. However, it’s not her reality elsewhere.

“In real life, she’s shy, very introverted. And as she has kept on saying, ‘I’m just a normal, boring person,’” he explained.

For example, he recalled filming an album listening party for her new album Britney Jean and described it as a time when she was “dying with embarrassment” because she didn’t want to be the center of attention.

He also touched on the conservatorship and his experience watching it in motion.

“I didn’t think while we were making that documentary that she was being constrained against her will. I didn’t get that,” he said. “I got the impression that Larry Rudolph, her manager, and Adam Leber and her dad were also on her side, and that working was really good for her.”

Since then, Britney has been released from her conservatorship and is living life on her own terms.

Earlier this year, she opened up about a celebrity crush from her youth and the way that she practiced for her pop career. She also unveiled her most-liked nude photo on Instagram.
