for Jamie Spears in American Crime Story: The Slandering of Britney Spears
Suggested by lm2552
The season would take place during the late 2000s with some flashbacks of the early 2000s when Britney Spears was a new name and a big name. It would focus on Britney Spears but also 2 other perspectives. It would take on how tabloid media moguls Harvey Levin and Perez Hilton used their power to destroy Britney Spears and not only use her as a piggy bank to profit off of her suffering but also how they painted her to be a bad person and had the paparazzi smother her to mentally damage her to get worse so they can get more famous and make more money off of her. As a gay man myself, I want to put out a message of fragile egos and insecurity in gay men along with how misogynistic, racist, and internally homophobic they can be. The other story perspective would take on the horrible men in Britney’s life. Her father who used her to make money off of her, Kevin Federline and Sam Lufti who mentally damaged her which caused her to lose herself and her mental health to decline.
