Framing Britney Spears Clip Shows Her Ex-Assistant Doesn't Know What a Conservatorship Is

FX has released a new clip from this Friday's The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears, featuring an interview with the pop star's ex-assistant Felicia Culotta. In it, welearn that she's known Spears since she was five years old, her duties as her assistant were undefined, and that she doesn't really understand her complex financial situation.

"I don't know that I ever really had any definition on what I was supposed to do with Britney," Culotta said. "For a long time, they called me her chaperone, and then at one point they wanted to call me her partner, and we didn't think that sounded right. I definitely was not her mother and I wasn't her big sister, so we settled on assistant. To be honest, I didn't then, nor do I now, understand what a conservatorship is, especially for somebody Britney's age and somebody capable of so much that I know first hand she's capable of." 

Culotta also explains that the reason she's even doing this interview is to remind people of why they fell in love with Spearsr in the first place.

The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears premieres Friday, February 5, at 10:00 PM ET on FX.
