Britney Spears Opens Up About Conservatorship in New Memoir
In her highly anticipated new memoir “The Woman in Me,” Britney Spears shares intimate details about the controversial conservatorship that controlled her personal and financial affairs for nearly 14 years. Spears reveals that the main motivating factor for acquiescing to the legal arrangement was her children.
“I did it for my kids,” Spears writes when explaining why she did not more forcefully fight the conservatorship at the outset. She temporarily lost custody of her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2007 during a period of personal turmoil. This loss of custody motivated her to comply with the conservatorship, believing it was necessary to regain time with her children. “Because I played by the rules, I was reunited with my boys,” she notes.
However, the conservatorship imposed strict limitations on nearly every aspect of Spears’ daily life. “Even something as simple as choosing my own diet or even being able to drink my daily coffee was denied to me,” she recalls. Perhaps most troubling to Spears was that her father Jamie was appointed as her conservator. “I begged the court for anyone else to take the role but was denied,” she writes.
In the memoir, Spears also candidly discusses battling postpartum depression after back-to-back pregnancies in 2005 and 2006. She faced intense scrutiny from paparazzi questioning her mothering abilities during this difficult time period. “I was displaying every symptom of perinatal depression but there wasn’t the same societal conversation about mental health challenges then,” Spears shares.
Though the conservatorship ended in 2020, Spears reflects on finally experiencing freedom on her own terms. “Freedom means being goofy, silly, and able to freely express myself on social media without restrictions,” she says. With the release of her memoir, Britney Spears is telling her story in her own words and embracing a new chapter of empowerment.
