The unauthorized Britney Spears movie is coming — and people are not happy about it.
Lifetime announced the biopic “Britney Ever After” in August of last year, much to the chagrin of Britney herself. Spears went so far as to say that she wouldn’t be involved “in any way, shape or form … nor does it have her blessing.”
All that said, the first trailer for the the film dropped on Monday, and from the looks of it, it’s definitely going to take us up and down the Britney rollercoaster. We get glimpses of Britney-esque performances, paparazzi snapping photos of the star and reenactments of her wedding and the infamous 2007 head-shaving incident.
Fans were not pleased with this taste of the TV movie:

@lifetimetv This looks awful and so disrespectful. Britney did right on not supporting this, beside, she just want to forget about that.
