Britney Spears has signed a $15 million book deal for a tell-all memoir with publishing house Simon & Schuster, People reports. Neither Spears nor Simon & Schuster has confirmed the news, but it’s reportedly one of the biggest book deals of all time. The news comes three months after Judge Brenda J. Penny ruled to end the superstar’s 13-year-long conservatorship.
In recent months, Spears has been very vocal about her strained relationship with her family, including younger sister Jamie Lynn, who recently sat down with “Good Morning America” to promote her own memoir. “Anyways, the 2 things that did bother me that my sister said was how my behavior was out of control,” the 40-year-old mother of two wrote following Jamie Lynn’s explosive “GMA” interview. “She was never around me much 15 years ago at that time …. so why are they even talking about that unless she wants to sell a book at my expense ???”
In her lengthy post, Spears also referenced her sister covering her hit song “Till the World Ends” as part of a tribute performance at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards. “I know it may sound like a silly thing to most people but I wrote a lot of my songs and my sister was the baby,” she added. “She never had to work for anything. Everything was always given to her !!!!” She concluded with: “Hope your book does well, Jamie Lynn !!!! . . . My family ruined my dreams 100 billion percent and try to make me look like the crazy one . . . My family loves to pull me down and hurt me always so I am disgusted with them !!!”
In January, Spears hinted at the possibility of writing a memoir when she posted a photo of a typewriter via Instagram. “Shall I start from THE BEGINNING???” she captioned the post.
