LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Britney Spears, the dewy-eyed child star who became a global pop phenomenon and then melted down in full view of the world, tells her story Tuesday with the release of her already bestselling memoir.
"The Woman In Me" is the pop princess in her own, unvarnished words, shot through with the anguish of a family she believes has failed her at every step of the way, in an industry that mercilessly devours its talent.
In the intervening months, Spears has married a former dancer, announced then lost a pregnancy, and is now on the road to her third divorce. "Brawl is the only word for it -- we were all over each other, grappling so passionately it was like we were in a street fight." Spears insists there were never hard drugs and that she did not have a drinking problem, but admits that she was taking Adderall, the ADHD medication.
Over the next 13 years, she was told who she could see, how much she could spend, and even ordered not to have more children."Too sick to choose my own boyfriend and yet somehow healthy enough to appear on sitcoms and morning shows, and to perform for thousands of people in a different part of the world every week."
