Netflix have reportedly been blocked from filming conservatorship testimony as work continues on the streamer’s upcoming Britney Spears documentary. 

Earlier this year, it was reported the platform is working on a new programme about the Toxic hitmaker’s controversial legal arrangement. 

And while production is under way, the Daily Star reports plans have descended into chaos after requests to film Britney’s conservatorship testimony on June 23 have been blocked. 

Sources reveal: “Netflix are well on their way with making their documentary about Britney’s conservatorship.

“With Britney set to finally talk for the first time on the issue it would have been perfect to include in the doc but filming had to be given the green light by the courts.

“A MC-500 / MC-510 filming request was lodged with the court but declined the application.

“There will be no cameras in court at all during her appearance.”

Officials from the Los Angeles Superior Court tell the publication: “Cameras are not allowed. Media request[s] have been denied.”

Britney’s dad Jamie has been her conservator since the arrangement was put in place in 2008 but, since Jodi Montgomery was made co-conservator in 2019 when she stepped in to replace Jamie as he battled health issues, the singer has requested he relinquish complete control to her. 

Britney has never argued against her conservatorship, but now that her father and mother Lynne are squabbling over financial arrangements, it is believed the Toxic star is planning to step in and have her say on the issue.

Judge Brenda Penny appointed officials at Bessemer Trust as co-conservator alongside her father last year, but that arrangement has not yet taken effect.

Previous documentaries from Hulu and the BBC have explored the issue.
