$15 million. Here is the estimated amount — at least the unofficial and obviously never confirmed figure — that has been circulating since last February. When the announcement of this engagement, which would give the star the opportunity to tell the whole truth, she swears, on the hell lived, the American edition had lost its language. Because, it should be remembered, the contract that binds Penguin Random House to the ex-presidential couple Obama certainly amounts to $65 million, but for Michelle and Barack, and above all, in the perspective of several books.
The next of the former First Lady will also be released by Flammarion on November 15, following the departure of its French editor, Sophie de Closets, having left Fayard…
In other words, Britney Spears would have received the largest check ever signed in the world for Memoirs. Especially since his sister, Jamie Lynn Spears had published her own testimonial book a month earlier, and there, first concerns. Britney had split a post on Insta, well reassembled, to explain without taking gloves his way of thinking on this book, concluding with: ” You are garbage, Jamie Lynn.Atmosphere, atmosphere.
This ugly social slippage had provoked the intervention of lawyers, to try to calm the singer – and even more, to tell her not to pay into defamation and public insult. This could have put the chip in the ear of its future editor.
Uncontrollable womanizer?
«I didn’t want to say anything about everything that happened, to anyone, to the public, because I thought people would laugh at me. That they would attack me saying: “She is lying: she has everything. It’s Britney Spears. I do not lie. I just want my life back“, she assured during the presentation of the book in February.
Except that it is complicated to leave a star alone with her cell phone, imagining that she will not take the opportunity to publish photos, videos and other communications to her subscribers. Thereby, Music Times reports that after several slippages, the publishers clearly asked that she stay away from the networks, and above all stop washing her dirty family laundry on the web. Not that this is problematic in itself in terms of images: at all. The house fears that the singer of Oops, I did It Again will reveal too much, and that her future biography will have nothing more to tell.
“Why would a fan buy the book, if it is spreading for free on the networks“Slips a close to the subject. Admittedly, for almost 14 years, the guardianship under which she was placed forced her not to say a word. Now that she is in full possession of her freedom of expression, Britney intends to use it. “However, she also has 15 million reasons to agree [avec l’éditeur]“continue sources.
Recalcitrant…
The other problem posed is that their author has no sense of punctuality or responsibility. Obviously, Britney will not write her story. However, Simon & Schuster has tried to set up a dozen meetings with writers who will take care of the writing: “She missed most of those meetings, and the ones that did happen didn’t go well. », assure-t-on.
Knowing that the editorial group will go to court very soon – the American Justice has decided to prevent the takeover of S&S by Penguin Random House – it is likely that the lawyers have other priorities. But come on, one last post, Britney… or as your song says:Baby One More Time !
