Pop superstar Britney Spears is set to publicly share a candid look into her turbulent past in her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me. The book, scheduled for release on October 24th, delves into Spears’ difficult experiences, including a painful abortion she had during her relationship with Justin Timberlake. At the time, Spears, now 41, was deeply in love with Timberlake and had envisioned having a family with him, but he was not enthusiastic about the pregnancy. Spears recounts the experience, describing it as one of the most agonizing things she has ever gone through. She reveals that she was left feeling fragile and vulnerable, stating that “to this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
Spears also opens up about her 13-year-long conservatorship, which was established in 2008 and finally terminated in November 2021. During this period, her father, Jamie Spears, had control over her finances and freedom, leaving Spears feeling stripped of her autonomy and womanhood. Spears describes the experience as stealing her passion for music and performing, making her feel “never good enough” for her father. She poignantly reflects that the conservatorship robbed her of her creativity and freedom, leaving her feeling like a robot on stage.
