She covers all of the latest happenings in the entertainment industry, focusing on celebrity style and breaking news., the pop star and former child actress is wasting no time opening up about her “soul-crushing” conservatorship ahead of its release.
“Over the past 15 years or even at the start of my career, I sat back while people spoke about me and told my story for me,” she told the publication. “After getting out of my conservatorship, I was finally free to tell my story without consequences from the people in charge of my life.”In addition to reflecting on her journey present-day, Spears also delved into her story like never before by sharing an excerpt from her memoir where she described feeling like a “child-robot.
“I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot,” her excerpt read. “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. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.
Britney then explained that this eternal battle caused the woman in her to be “pushed down for a long time,” adding that it contributed to the “death of creativity as an artist.” “They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be, and to be a robot the rest of the time,” she shared. “I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life — those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human. They wanted to take away that specialness and keep everything as rote as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist.”
