- According to an excerpt from her forthcoming memoir published by People, Britney Spears reveals how her conservatorship transformed her into a “child-robot.”
- Spears writes, “I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself.”
- The memoir, titled “The Woman in Me,” highlights the detrimental effects of the conservatorship on Spears.
Britney Spears discloses that her conservatorship forced her into a state resembling a “child-robot” in an extract from her upcoming memoir published by People.
In “The Woman in Me,” Spears candidly expresses, “I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself. The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage.”
The artist further reveals, “I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot,” as reported by People.
In February 2008, following numerous public meltdowns including shaving her head and attacking a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella, Spears was placed under conservatorship, which denied her control over her assets and personal decisions. The conservatorship persisted for 13 years until a Los Angeles judge terminated it in November 2021.
Within her memoir, Spears asserts that without the conservatorship, she could have achieved personal growth independently.
Spears shares, “If they’d let me live my life, I know I would’ve followed my heart and come out of this the right way and worked it out. Thirteen years went by with me feeling like a shadow of myself.”
The notion of her father and his associates controlling her body and finances deeply unsettled the singer.
She continues, “Think of how many male artists gambled all their money away; how many had substance abuse or mental health issues. No one tried to take away their control over their bodies and money. I didn’t deserve what my family did to me,” according to People.
Throughout the conservatorship, Spears released four studio albums, embarked on multiple concert tours, and held a Las Vegas residency for four years.
Reflecting on her experiences, Spears writes, “The woman in me was suppressed for a prolonged period. They aimed to diminish my uniqueness and maintain everything as routine as possible. It stifled my artistic creativity,” as reported by People.
Scheduled for release on October 24, Spears’ memoir eagerly awaits readers.
