According to Variety, the information with regards to the pop icon’s book deal comes several months after the termination of her conservatorship by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.
The singer had been living under a court-ordered conservatorship placed by her father, Jamie Spears, since 2007. Though the singer continued to work, touring and holding a Las Vegas residency, the conservatorship remained in place.

As per ‘Variety’, she later offered public testimony on her conservatorship for the first time saying: “I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. I just want my life back”.
In the past year, Britney Spears’ story has drawn international interest, sparking conversation about conservatorships and the potential abuses of such an agreement.
