Brian Friedman says it’s ‘impossible’ to contact Britney Spears and sparkle gone

by

Brian Friedman has claimed that it’s “impossible” to get in touch with Britney Spears and believes it’s due to the conservatorship.

Appearing on ITV’s Lorraine on Friday morning, the 43-year-old dancer opened up about his friendship with the pop star and how she has changed over the years.

“We go back to 1999 in the beginning of her career. [She was] joyful,” he told Lorraine Kelly, as he spoke live from his home in Los Angeles.

“I think that was the best years, some of the best years I had as a performer, getting to travel the world and do what you love. I know for her it was her dream.

“She was getting to sing, dance, perform on stage, see the world, be around a tight knit group of people that she would perform with. We became a family on the road. They definitely were the best of times.”

Speaking about the conservatorship that Britney has been under for over a decade, Brian continued: “The conservatorship was put in place for good reasons in the beginning and I think it was the right decision then and I think things have definitely changed now and she has grown a lot.

“In my opinion, if she’s able to perform on stage and do a show and make all this money, she should be rewarded the basic luxuries of life like driving a car, having a phone to call your friends, being able to be in a room alone with someone like me.

“I haven’t been in a room alone with her since the early 2000s,” he revealed.

“It’s virtually impossible [to get in contact with her] and we’ve worked together since.

“There’s always someone around and you don’t really get to have that intimate, personal friend time, like we used to. She deserves that. She deserves to make her decisions for her personal life,” Brian added.

Referring to Britney’s next court hearing and the fact that she will speak at it herself, Brian said: “I want to see the sparkle, the sparkle she had when we were first working together.

“I have missed that sparkle and I haven’t seen that exact glimmer in a very long time. There was definitely a wall that was put up and I don’t believe it’s a wall she put up.

“It was just this barrier that was created because of the conservatorship,” the choreographer claimed.

Brian features in a new BBC documentary called The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship, where he speaks to journalist Mobeen Azhar about Britney’s legal issues.

The hour-long documentary is available to watch on BBC iPlayer from Saturday 1 May.

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.
