"SNL" Made Fun Of Britney Spears' Pregnancy Britney Spears "SNL" Made Fun Of Britney Spears' Pregnancy Announcement In An Easter-Themed Cold Open Tribun24- Britney Spears' pregnancy was good news for many. When Britney Spears was announced pregnant, a wave of joy erupted on the Internet. Because Britney Spears' pregnancy was a symbol of her complete freedom after 13 years, a difficult time. But some joke about Britney Spears' pregnancy. In case you missed it, Britney Spears announced earlier this week that she's welcoming her first child with fiancé Sam Asghari. There was also a new episode of Saturday Night Live this weekend, and the cold open featured a wide variety of public figures — Dr. Anthony Fauci, Elon Musk, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and so on — offering some Easter-themed messages. One of the impressions on display: SNL cast member Chloe Fineman as Britney herself. "Hey y'all! It's me, Britney," she began her impersonation, before attempting to replicate some of Brit's notorious IG dancing videos and saying, "I bet you didn't think I could do this." Chloe then moved on to some jokes about Britney's recently dissolved conservatorship and the pregnancy announcement. “Remember six months ago when everyone was like, ‘We need to get her out of this conservatorship, and now you’re like, ‘Someone’s still gonna check on her right?’” she said. “Well, don’t worry, I’m finally free, and I’m having a baby! I just pray my baby is born happy, healthy, and with the power of attorney.” All in all, pretty toothless satire — but, also, just the act of making fun of Britney in any context seems like a...choice, given the recent past and everything we know now. Last year's Framing Britney Spears documentary revisited the cavalcade of needlessly cruel Britney jokes in the 2000s media sphere, and how they contributed to a hostile media climate rife with misogyny. The conversation around the doc was visible and seemingly inspired some sort of cultural shift when it comes to how female-identifying celebrities are scrutinized and mocked in the public sphere — but, given this latest SNL sketch, maybe that was wishful thinking. Who knows! Here's How The Internet Reacted To The New Britney Spears Documentary Last night, the New York Times debuted a new documentary about Britney Spears' conservatorship — Framing Britney Spears. As Britney's name has been trending on Twitter all day, here are just some of the reactions to the documentary: Some were taken by the portrayal of the paparazzi following Britney: Especially within the broader context of how the media treated Britney. Sara Mae @MsSaraMae Watching this Britney Spears doc... Can you imagine an interviewer asking a woman if she’s a virgin today?!

TheRebelGay @TheRebelGay Justin Timberlake cheated on his wife on camera and the media focused on that for half a day. Britney showed cleavage at the age of 18 and the media harassed her ever since. #FramingBritneySpears Of course, many people questioned the conservatorship at the heart of the documentary — especially the role of Britney's dad, Jamie ashley ray @theeashleyray yo britney spears is really actually being held hostage i thought the internet was just being dramatic Kiarah Luter @KiarahLuter Britney was able to perform several shows a day during her residency, handle promo on all the late night shows, make a new album, and shoot new music videos, but the courts didn't think she could handle making day to day decisions?#FramingBritneySpears JuanSelvisCocho @Juan_Sebastian_ #FramingBritneySpears “My daughter is gonna be so rich she’s gonna buy me a boat”. So Jamie Spears said this, after being absent from his daughter’s life and this is the person who is in charge of her finances.
