When the first photos of Lifetime's Britney Spears biopic came out in December, people were afraid it was going to be a mess.
These first stills from the upcoming Britney Spears Lifetime biopic are, to be frank, a hate crime.
Britney Ever After, which was not authorized by Britney, finally aired Saturday night.
Britney in her element. #BritneyEverAfter
And the fans were NOT happy with what they saw.
Guess who wrote the script in less than 30min and sold it to lifetime? #BritneyEverAfter
The entire Britney Army watching #BritneyEverAfter
How many of you feel personally victimized by @lifetimetv #BritneyEverAfter
#BritneyEverAfter 30 minutes in and the reviews are rolling in...
Of course, every biopic takes some liberties with real-life events. But this, fans said, was just a cheap knockoff.
When you order something online vs when it arrives #BritneyEverAfter
It was basically the alternative facts version of the Britney Spears story.
The budget on this @lifetimetv biopic of @britneyspears must have been $43.82, or else this is #AlternativeFacts Br… https://t.co/fQZeyfQQGe
Example? In 2001, Britney and Justin Timberlake showed us what true love looks like: head-to-toe denim.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET THESE OUTFITS RIGHT. I'M PISSED. THESE ARE ICONIC. THIS WAS THE ONE THING THEY SHOULD'VE GOTTE… https://t.co/ukW3IwLFEg
Oh no.
THE denim look.👖 #BritneyEverAfter
IT WAS A DENIM DRESS, OBVIOUSLY.
BRITNEY WORE A DENIM DRESS NOT A DENIM PANTSUIT I CANT TAKE THE HISTORICAL INACCURACY #britneyeverafter
Even other celebs spoke up about how terrible the movie was.
Who lit this movie #britneyeverafter and why does he hate women?
Honestly, it was just disrespectful.
Anyone else watch #BritneyEverAfter??? I feel disrespected!! 😱 @britneyspears didn't deserve that!!
omg me & the gays are watching #BritneyEverAfter & i am GASPING, this ain't right y'all, she does NOT deserve THIS!!
Of course, true fans know nothing can touch the legacy Britney has built.
To everyone who is not a Britney fan please don't base this movie of who Britney truly is as a person.… https://t.co/fbnHfnhYyf
And Britney, naturally, remains stronger than yesterday.
