Britney Spears has been attacked on social media by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iran’s state-sponsored media, for her support of protestors in Iran.
Protests against Iran’s “morality police” erupted after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini on September 6. Iran’s morality police arrested Amini in Tehran for allegedly “improperly” wearing her headscarf.
Anger spread across the country after she died in police custody.
Amini’s family claimed that the young girl was beaten to death by police. However, the IRNA has continued to deny the accusation and claim the girl died of a heart attack.
Spears and her husband, Iranian-American actor and model Sam Asghari, showed their support on social media and said they stand in solidarity with the Iranian people.
She tweeted her support: “Me & my husband stand with the people of Iran fighting for freedom.”
The IRNA posted a screenshot of Spears’ tweet including a comment that reads: “Nice talk. Can you manage your own money yet?”
The IRNA’s attempt to drown out widespread support for protesters failed.
In the past weeks, protests continue to grow in Iran. In the meantime, multiple stars including Bella Hadid, Justin Bieber and Angelina Julie have spoken out and called for wider awareness of Iran’s ongoing movement.
Spears has spent the months since her conservatorship ended posting many dance videos and nude photos to social media.
