Two years after Britney Spears was freed from the guardianship that her father exercised over her, the 41-year-old singer is preparing to reveal exciting facts about this period of her life, in a book of memoirs that arouses great anticipation.
The book “The Woman in Me,” which is published in the United States by Simon & Schuster, will be released tomorrow in about 20 countries and translated into 10 languages. It will be one of the most anticipated publications in bookstores this fall. As every time in such cases, the text of the book was surrounded with great secrecy by the publishing house, which, according to American media, paid more than $15 million to obtain the rights.
The singer told People magazine, which published the first pages of the book of confessions, which is expected to have a strong impact, that “reliving all of these things was exciting, heartbreaking, and moving.”
She added: “For all these reasons, I will read only a small part of the audio version of my book,” while actress Michelle Williams will read the rest.
A few days before its release, the book reached the top of sales through the pre-order feature on Amazon in the United States and France. The publication of promotional excerpts from the work caused many reactions.
On her Instagram account, where she speaks briefly in video clips showing her dancing among the furniture, the pop star explained to her more than 42 million followers that “there are many things that are difficult to read in the press about the book.” She added: “Nothing matters anymore at this point.”
Britney Spears’s words come two years after ending the guardianship that her father began exercising over her in 2008 when she was going through deep depression, due to her separation from her then husband, Kevin Federline, with whom she had two sons.
The star married again in June 2022 to Sam Asghari, before the latter filed for divorce from her 14 months later.
The book will also cover the story of the rise of this star, who comes from very humble backgrounds, without hiding her setbacks. For the artist’s fans, the memoir offers hope that they will understand the course of this broken life.
Britney Spears began her artistic career at the age of 12, with the Mickey Mouse Club. At the age of approximately 17 years, she achieved international fame with the song “Baby One More Time,” from an album bearing the same title that included songs that gained widespread fame, including “Crazy.”
This was followed by eight more albums, especially the famous album “Opus I Dead It Again,” which sold 25 million copies. Britney Spears was distinguished by her remarkable artistic performances during concerts, and she undertook huge global tours.
In 2001, Britney Spears performed the song “The Way You Make Me Feel” by pop legend Michael Jackson (1958-2009) alongside the late star.
At a stage during which she was the subject of intense public follow-up and constant pursuit by celebrity photo hunters, Britney Spears went through a decline in her career in 2007. Pictures of her shaving her head in a hair salon spread around the world. In 2008, she was placed under the guardianship of her father, who continued to control every aspect of her life until 2021.
A call to liberation
In 2014, Britney Spears began performing regularly in Las Vegas, which included more than 200 performances over four years. But things deteriorated again in 2019 when she was forcibly admitted to a rehabilitation center. This sparked a state of mobilization among her fans, in addition to supportive press investigations, to call for “liberating Britney.”
In 2021, after the singer asked the judges to “give her back her life,” the court issued a decision to end her guardianship.
