Everything we know about Britney Spears’s upcoming tell-all memoir
Britney Spears’s highly anticipated memoir, The Woman In Me, is officially on the way. People exclusively announced that the tell-all book from one of the world’s most defining pop stars would arrive on bookshelves on October 24, 2023. They also shared a first look at the book’s cover which features a black and white image of a younger Spears, wearing nothing but a pair of metallic trousers. The image appears to be a photoshoot outtake of the star captured at the height of her fame.
“Britney’s compelling testimony in open court shook the world, changed laws, and showed her inspiring strength and bravery,” Jennifer Bergstrom, Gallery Books Senior Vice President and Publisher, told the outlet in a statement. “I have no doubt her memoir will have a similar impact — and will be the publishing event of the year. We couldn’t be more proud to help her share her story at last.”
The pop superstar reportedly signed a book deal with the publishing house Simon & Schuster for a tell-all memoir last year, worth $15 million, per People. The news of the upcoming memoir came three months after a California judge terminated the star’s 13-year long conservatorship last November.
The ‘Stronger’ singer has been outspoken about her estrangement from her family since the legal arrangement ended, sharing several new claims of how she was treated while her father, Jamie Spears, had control over her personal, professional, and financial matters. She is still entangled in legal battles with her father, who requested that she continue to pay his legal fees despite the conservatorship ending.
Since her emotional court address in June 2021, the ‘Toxic’ singer’s struggle has sparked a national conversation about potential abuses in the conservator system. The star has shared her plans to advocate for others who have had similar harsh experiences under a conservatorship. Days after the court decision, she revealed in a self-filmed Instagram video that she’s “not here to be a victim.”
“I’m here to be an advocate for people with real disabilities and real illnesses,” she says. “Hopefully, my story will make an impact and make some changes in the corrupt system.”
