see what Lachapelle had to say about Britney while they were filming music video for "make me"
'I find it very suspect': Director David LaChapelle weighs in on #FreeBritney after old music video footage of Spears in a cage leaks online
'The video/song wasn't released because Britney didn't like it. Her voice as an artist, should be respected. The only direction Britney ever gave me for this video is for me to film her in the cage'
He continued, 'At the time I didn't understand why would you want to be filmed in a cage? At first I envisioned to film her as a tigress, but she wanted to be filmed more timid, like a kitten. For everyone on my team, at least, we could tell something was off'
'For the video "everytime" the only direction Britney gave me for the video was that she wanted to die'
'I have known Britney since she was 17. I shot her first cover, Rolling Stone, it was shot in Louisiana at her family home, filled with pageant trophies. I could tell even back then something wasn't right'
