The incident was included in the film, but like many other things in the movie, Lifetime didnt get everything quite right.This exasperated fans on Twitter to no end. They took issue with the flagrant anachronisms of having flat screen TVs and iPhones in the early 2000s,for example:I knew this was gonna be inaccurate as soon as I saw the flat screen in Britney's first tour bus. #BritneyEverAfter pic.twitter.com/PixIx57jev N.
