Sarah Michelle Gellar Eviscerates Britney Spears Biopic
Viewers who tuned in to see Lifetime’s Britney Spears biopic ‘Britney Ever After’ Saturday night had some not-so-nice things to say about it, but one famous telly watcher, Sarah Michelle Gellar, was on tear, calling out the script, lighting and acting.
The unauthorized movie starring Natasha Bassett as Spears chronicled the pop star’s rise to fame, public breakdown and comeback. Spears took some hard hits during those stormy years, which made her loyal fans even more so. And when it came to a movie about their favorite singer’s life, they were brutal.
Omg is anyone else watching #britneyeverafter?? "Get out the crackers because Joey is bringing the cheese" that's a direct quote!!

When the film ended, Gellar took to Twitter twice more to make it clear to LifetimeTV (never bite the hand that may one day feed you) and Spears herself that her dissing was all in fun.

But Gellar wasn’t the only one who spoke up. YouTube humorist Tyler Oakley tweeted, “omg me & the gays are watching #BritneyEverAfter & i am GASPING, this ain’t right ya’ll, she does NOT deserve THIS!!” Jeffree Star echoed, “Anyone else watch #BritneyEverAfter??? I feel disrespected!! @britneyspears didn’t deserve that!!”
