Pop
star
Britney
Spears
has
signed
a
USD
15
million
book
deal
with
publishing
house
Simon
&
Schuster
for
a
tell-all
memoir.
According
to
Page
Six,
Simon
&
Schuster
secured
the
deal
for
Spears'
memoir
after
a
massive
bidding
war
involving
multiple
publishers.
The
book
deal
comes
three
months
after
the
singer's
13-year
conservatorship
was
terminated
by
a
judge.
In
her
public
testimony
last
year
about
the
conservatorship,
Spears
told
the
Los
Angeles
judge
that
she
had
been
forced
to
work
by
conservators
despite
begging
for
breaks,
and
that
she
had
no
control
over
her
finances,
was
denied
her
wish
to
marry
her
boyfriend,
and
was
barred
from
removing
her
birth
control
despite
her
wish
to
have
a
third
child.
Spears,
41,
has
also
been
vocal
about
her
estrangement
from
her
family,
including
dad
Jamie,
mom
Lynne
and
sister
Jamie
Lynn.
She
recently
publicly
condemned
Jamie
Lynn,
who
made
allegations
about
the
singer’s
mental
health
while
promoting
her
own
memoir.
She
described
her
pop
star
sister's
behaviour
over
the
years
as
“erratic,
paranoid
and
spiralling”.
In
response,
the
singer
accused
Jamie
Lynn
of
"sell(ing)
a
book
at
my
expense".
