Inside Britney Spears' Explosive Tell-All: Unveiling the Truth Behind Her 'Full Meltdown' and Family Betrayal
Britney Spears criticizes her mother Lynne in 'The Woman in Me' for exploiting her name during her highly publicized breakdown in 2007
In her new memoir, The Woman in Me, Britney Spears doesn't hold back when it comes to her mother, Lynne Spears. The 41-year-old pop star criticizes 68-year-old Lynne for featuring her in her 2008 book, Through the Storm. According to an insider, Britney feels that Lynne was exploiting her name by writing about her, especially regarding her 2007 breakdown.
According to the source, Britney described herself as being in a state of complete meltdown when Lynne released the book, and she found the timing to be extremely unbelievable.
Just seven months after Britney was placed under conservatorship for a period of 13 years, Lynne's book, Through the Storm, was sold in stores. Prior to its release, Lynne made an appearance on the Today show to shed light on the difficulties her family faced following Britney's rise to fame.
Lynne expressed to Meredith Vieira in September 2008 that she had spent countless hours contemplating the events that had taken place. She described the entire experience as chaotic and unpredictable for everyone involved.
In Britney's book, The Woman in Me, she expressed her distress over her mother profiting from discussing the darkest moments of her life in Through the Storm. Lynne's recollections raised doubts in Britney's mind about how accurate her mother's portrayal of her in interviews and the memoir truly was.
In a now-deleted YouTube video shared in August 2022, Britney claimed that Lynne was the one who assisted her father, Jamie Spears, in establishing the conservatorship. Britney alleged that her mother played a role in introducing the idea to her dad and helping him execute it, asserting that there were no substances involved and that it constituted pure abuse.
Britney expressed her discontentment with Lynne. She believed that her mother had a better ability to assist her in disentangling herself from the legal arrangement, which made her more angry at Lynne than at Jamie.
In the video, Britney stated, "What really confused me was that the #FreeBritney movement was out on the streets fighting for me, but my sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, and my mother weren't doing anything. It felt like they secretly enjoyed the fact that I was in a negative situation, like I was messed up, and they preferred it that way. Otherwise, why wouldn't they be at my doorstep, telling me to get in the car? That's what hurt me the most. I couldn't understand how my family went along with it for so long. Their only explanation was, 'We didn't know.'"
The Woman in Me hits shelves on Tuesday, October 24.
