Matt Lauer criticized over resurfaced interview in new Britney Spears doc

"Framing Britney Spears," the latest documentary from "The New York Times Presents" series, which airs on FX and FX on Hulu, came out Friday and looks back at the pop star’s rise to fame — through a modern lens in this age of fourth-wave feminism — to where she is now with her conservatorship battle involving her father. Over the weekend, doc viewers called for her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake to apologize for how he handled their 2002 breakup, and now Lauer is being criticized for his June 2006 interview with Spears, which the doc used to support the narrative that the pop star was publicly painted as an “unfit mother” after welcoming son Sean Preston in September 2005.
