Spears regularly interacts with her fans on social media, but hasn’t told her full story after being released from her 13-year conservatorship, which captivated the world.

Spears had been living under a court-ordered conservatorship placed by her father, Jamie Spears, since 2007. Although the singer continued to work, tour and have a residency in Las Vegas, the conservatorship remained in place. Rumors spread among fans that the pop star was a ward against her will, sparking the «#FreeBritney» movement. In the summer of 2021, Spears told a judge that her guardians forced her to work. Later, Spears offered public testimony about conservatorship of her for the first time. “I have been in shock. I’m traumatized,» Spears said. «I just want my life back.»

Other than testimony at her court dates, the most information about her conservatorship that Spears has given her fans was last summer at a 22 minute audio message where he gave his side of the story, making explosive claims against his family. “They literally killed me,” she said. “They threw me. That’s what I felt, I felt like my family had thrown me away.»

Writing a book isn’t Spears’ only recent project in the world.

Starting out at «The Mickey Mouse Club» as a child, she went on to become one of the most successful superstars in music history, first with «Baby One More Time,» which was released in 1998 and turned 16. -old Spears into an international pop icon. Having lived most of her life in the public eye, Spears will have a lot to say about her highly documented life, even long before her conservatorship.

In the audio message Spears shared last year, she said she’s received many high-profile interview offers, like Oprah and others, but decided it was best to share her story herself. «I’ve had tons of opportunities… but I’m here to open up to others and shine a light on this.»
