the next step: After two documentaries that dealt with the career of Britney Spears And in the guardianship of her father James Aliyah, which began in 2008, made the singer’s life the most talked about and even caused the opening of the “Britney Liberation Movement” on the net, today (Tuesday) it was announced that she was going to launch a book about her life.
Spears signed an advertising deal defined as a “record-breaker” for a memoir about her rise to fame, her relationship with her family and her attempt to live under guardianship for more than a decade. Page Six magazine reported that publisher Simon & Schuster obtained the deal on the pop star’s memoir for $ 15 million after a huge bidding war that included several publishers.
A source close to the signing of the contract told the magazine that: “The deal is one of the greatest of all time, second only to the Obama couple’s books.” As you know, the president and first lady signed a deal worth an estimated $ 65 million to write multiple books for Penguin Random House in 2017.

As you may recall, the deal comes three months after Spears successfully fought the optoffices granted by the court to her father, Jamie Spears, for nearly 14 years. Custody, usually known to older or sick people who can no longer make decisions for themselves, began in 2007 after a mental crisis experienced by the singer.
In 2021, Spears first testified in court, arguing that she had no control over her finances, and sought to stop the guardianship. Last November the guardianship was immediately overturned by the Los Angeles Supreme Court, after her lawyer said the “safety net” for the singer was ready and she could break free from her father’s control.
“Today is the time to end custody,” said then-attorney Matthew Rosengart, who thanked Judge Brenda Penny after hearing the decision. The judge further ruled that her decision would not depend on a medical examination of the singer, who was not present at the court hearing. The singer herself reacted on Instagram to the decision, and to the fact that hundreds of her fans gathered outside the courtroom to support her: “I love my fans so much that it’s crazy. I think I’ll cry all day. It’s the best day of my life, thank God.”
