Britney Spears' Manager Furious After Saturday Night Live Parody
Britney's manager lashed out over the parody on social media sunday.
Britney Spears' memoir The Woman in Me hit bookshelves just before Halloween, ultimately revealing many secrets from the pop star's life. The release of the tell-all was lampooned on a recent Saturday Night Live episode, causing Spears' manager to lash out at the live sketch comedy on social media.
"Wow. The writers of SNL are getting worse and worse," Spears' long-time friend and manager Cade Hudson said in a social media post. "No wonder you all reached out to me to get Britney on the show… snl is on life support. You all are pathetic and this Chloe [Fineman] isn't funny. Did you find her on Craigslist or something?"

In the sketch, a slew of celebrities audition to be the voice actor for the memoirs' audiobook. Given the book itself is largely based on Spears' traumas in the music industry, many viewers found the sketch distasteful. "That parody is so disrespectful I couldn't watch the whole thing," one tweeter shared.
Another added, "never asking her to be on the show yet continue using her trauma for laughs & views is foul."
