Britney Spears has reportedly finished writing her memoir, finally telling her story after years spent under a forced conservatorship.

With input from her husband, Sam Asghari, the singer is not holding back, and looks to set the record straight on a number of controversies that have haunted her throughout her career.

The memoir is covering the entirety of Spears’ life

“Britney’s book is a story of triumph. It will cover her most vulnerable moments, her childhood – being a little girl with big dreams – her breakup with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her battle with her family over her conservatorship,” a source told Page Six.

“It is also a story of survival, finding her way out of the crippling conservatorship to finding happiness with her husband Sam Ashgari,” the source added.

Spears has been writing the memoir with the help of ghostwriter Sam Lansky, a novelist and journalist who has written extensively for The Atlantic, New York Magazine, and Time. He has also profiled stars like Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Adele.

Spears signed a $15 million book deal with Simon & Schuster with help from her lawyer Mathew Rosengart and the Creative Artists Agency

The memoir is being fast-tracked for early publication

The memoir has been fast-tracked for a fall release, and Spears was spurned into getting the book out sooner than expected in reaction to an interview her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, conducted with Alexandra Coooper for the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast in 2022.

In the interview, Jamie Lynn spoke about her sister’s reaction to Justin Timberlake’s song ‘Cry Me A River’, and alleged there was an incident between the two sisters involving a knife.

“Jamie Lynn’s interview on Call Her Daddy pushed Britney even more to get her book done,” another source claimed.

“She wants to tell the world her story and her side of everything. Britney is really excited about her book, and she has been getting a lot of good feedback from industry people about it.”

Sources say that the memoir will be brutally honest about a number of things, and will reveal far more than presumed.

“Britney’s book is brutally honest and from the heart. No stone is left unturned. Its truly a female empowerment story – her taking control of her life,” a source explained.

Another source added: “This book is a gift….There are parts of this book that every person—particularly every woman—can relate to and feel less alone. She transforms joy and pain into something transcendent: art.”
