Much of Britney Spears' fans andadvocates of the #FreeBritney movementdisagreed.

“Her lawyer doesn’t have a clue what the truth is.

The media has not heard the truth.

They’ve heard the allegations from Britney.”

Reps for the pop star didn’t immediately respond to EW’s request for comment Sunday.
