Here’s why Jessica Simpson won’t watch documentary on Britney Spears

Actress Jessica Simpson hasn’t watched the “Framing Britney Spears” documentary!

She says watching an FX/New York Times documentary about the fellow pop sensation would be “one of those triggers” in a sneak peek of the “Tamron Hall Show” broadcasting on Friday.

The documentary scrutinizes the rise of Spears, her mental health challenges, inappropriate treatment by unrelenting media, and the discord over her conservatorship. Largely all of it was controlled by her father, Jamie Spears.

“If I were to watch it, like, reliving that for me is like one of those triggers, you know, it definitely gives me anxiety and I lived it,” Simpson said.

She added that it’s “so hard,” as she personally knows Spears and “what she went through.” Further she stated, “You can only allow people in and attacking you until you have to really put your guard up.”

Though she acknowledged both she and the “Toxic” singer “have a big platform,” Simpson explained that “you can only take stuff for so long.”
