Britney Spears Says Her Memoir’s ‘Purpose Was Not to Offend Anyone’
Written by djfrosty on October 20, 2023
From the bottom of her heart, Britney Spears insists her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, isn’t meant to upset anyone.
“My book’s purpose was not to offend anyone by any means,” the pop star wrote in an all text Instagram post on Friday (Oct. 20) of her upcoming tome, which is set for release on Tuesday (Oct. 24). “My book’s purpose was not to offend anyone by any means !!! That was me then … that is in the past !!!”
She went on to note that most of the tales within its pages are from 20 years ago, and that she has since moved on.
“This is actually a book I didn’t know needed to be written … although some might be offended, it has given me closure on all things for a better future !!!” she added. “Hopefully I can enlighten people who feel particularly alone in most cases or hurt or misunderstood !!! Again, my motive for this book was not to harp on my past experiences … I have moved on since then !!!”
Excerpts from the book have revealed that the Grammy winner has written about some sensitive topics. Among them are the abortion she went through while dating Justin Timberlake (“If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it … Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father,” she wrote); what it was like to live under her restrictive conservatorship for 13 years; reflections on her “passionate” fling with Oscar-nominated actor Colin Farrell, and more.
