Britney Spears
will have no involvement in Lifetime’s just-announced biopic, which is going under the working title of “Britney.”
On Wednesday,
Lifetime announced it had greenlit the “Britney” biopic. The
network said in a release that the two-hour project, which begins filming in
September, would cover “the tumultuous story of pop icon Britney Spears’
rise to fame, fall from grace and eventual triumphant resurrection, firmly
securing her position as one of the world’s greatest entertainers.”
A rep for the
entertainer issued a statement to Access Hollywood on Thursday morning about the project.

“Britney Spears will not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic nor does it have her blessing,” the rep said in their statement to Access Hollywood.
Previous Lifetime biopics have included “Whitney,” about Whitney Houston, “Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B,” about the late music star, and “The Brittany Murphy Story,” about the late actress.
