00:00 Britney Spears says that she decided to go along with her conservatorship for one big

00:09 reason, and the reason is sadder than you might think.

00:16 In her memoir titled The Woman In Me, Britney Spears reveals that she initially agreed to

00:22 her conservatorship for a crucial reason, and that was her children.

00:31 She shares sons Sean Preston and Jaden with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, and following

00:37 their public breakdowns as well as their divorce in 2008, she temporarily lost custody of her

00:47 kids which led to her decision to go along with the conservatorship.

00:54 A California judge then placed Britney under a conservatorship controlled by her father

00:59 Jamie Spears, and that would go on for the next 13 years.

01:10 When we take a look in her book, Britney Spears wrote these words

01:14 Because I played by the rules, I was reunited with my boys.

01:19 And honestly, who wouldn't go along with it at that point?

01:27 And I can only imagine how hard it must have been to be faced with losing access to your

01:33 children just like that and not really being able to do anything about it.

01:39 So I 100% get why Britney wouldn't want to resist or fight against the conservatorship.

01:46 She had to just play the part, follow the rules, or else.

01:52 Britney goes on to describe the conservatorship as something that stripped away her control

01:57 over everything in her life.

02:00 And her father Jamie literally managed her diet, her hairstyle, her career, as well as

02:06 every other aspect of her life.

02:08 And there was also something very surprising that Britney wrote in the book, and it just

02:13 goes to show you how much of a strained relationship she and her father actually had, even before

02:19 the conservatorship.

02:21 This is what Britney wrote

02:22 Even though I begged the court to appoint literally anyone else, and I mean anyone off

02:27 the street would have been better, my father was given the job.

02:32 So for her to say that about her own father, that's just wild.

02:36 As much as Jamie has said in the past that he did all that he could do for Britney because

02:41 he thought it was the best thing to do for her, he said this over the years, it still

02:46 makes you wonder what he really was like with Britney behind closed doors.

02:51 Like hearing about how he treated her is one thing, but she's the one who personally lived

02:56 out the nightmare of her conservatorship and had to deal with her father behind closed

03:01 doors.

03:02 Judge Brenda Penny released Britney eventually from her conservatorship in November of 2021,

03:08 after emotional testimonies about the abuse that she suffered under it.

03:13 And since gaining her freedom, Britney has traveled, she remarried, but has since separated

03:20 from her husband, she's reclaimed her social media, and even wrote a book.

03:24 Britney now cherishes freedom as the ability to just be herself, as well as make mistakes

03:30 and learn from those mistakes.

03:35 She then went on to say this, "Freedom means I don't have to perform for anyone, onstage

03:41 or offstage.

03:43 Freedom means that I get to be as beautifully imperfect as everyone else.

03:48 And freedom means the ability and the right to search for joy in my own way, on my own

03:54 terms."

03:56 After several leaked anecdotes, including the disclosure about her unexpected pregnancy

04:01 and deciding to not have the baby with her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake back in the

04:06 year 2000, Britney did clarify that she didn't intend to offend anyone with her candid revelations

04:13 in her memoir.

04:15 Over on her Instagram, this is what Britney said about her intentions behind the book.

04:19 "Hopefully I can enlighten people who feel particularly alone in most cases or hurt or

04:25 misunderstood.

04:26 Again, my motive for this book was not to harp on my past experiences, which is what

04:32 the press is doing, and it's dumb and silly.

04:35 I have moved on since then."

04:37 Britney Spears has revealed the truth behind one of the most iconic moments of her career.

05:07 Inside of her memoir, Britney Spears revisited the iconic moment when she kissed Madonna

05:18 at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, taking readers back 20 years.

05:24 When we read in her book, The Woman in Me, Britney shared that she thought of the kiss

05:29 idea just before performing with Madonna and Christina Aguilera.

05:33 So, what she aimed to do was to top when she revealed a sparkling nude suit during her

05:50 2000 VMAs performance when she was performing Oops I Did It Again.

05:55 So she was like, what can I do to top it?

05:57 Oh, a kiss.

05:59 And this is how Britney Spears explains it in her book.

06:10 When I pulled off a suit to reveal a sparkly outfit, I thought to myself, I want a moment

06:16 like that again this year.

06:18 With the kiss, should I just go for it?

06:28 And of course, Britney clearly didn't hold back.

06:31 She went for it.

06:32 She and Christina Aguilera both kissed Madonna during their performance of Like A Virgin.

06:43 And it was a moment that remains iconic in music award show history.

06:53 In her memoir, Britney also recognized how the kiss became a timeless pop culture moment

06:59 that still is discussed by people to this day.

07:03 From there, Britney then made these comments.

07:12 A lot was made of that kiss.

07:14 Oprah asked Madonna about it.

07:22 The kiss was treated as a huge cultural moment.

07:25 Britney kissing Madonna.

07:27 And it got us both a lot of attention.

07:30 Also, nearly two decades after their iconic kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney

07:35 Spears and Madonna recreated the moment at Britney's wedding to her now estranged husband,

07:41 Sam Haskari, in June of 2022.

07:44 When we read through Britney's memoir, she shares stories from her life in her own words.

08:06 And she often writes about Madonna, who she considers to be a great inspiration from the

08:11 early days of her career.

08:21 Here's what Britney had to say about Madonna specifically.

08:25 Going along with Madonna's ideas and being on her time for days was what it meant to

08:30 collaborate with her.

08:32 It was an important lesson for me, one that would take a long time for me to absorb.

08:37 She demanded power, and so she got power.

08:41 She was the center of attention because she made that the condition of her showing up

08:46 everywhere.

08:48 She made that life for herself.

08:49 I hoped I could find ways to do that while preserving the parts of my nice girl identity

08:55 that I wanted to keep.

09:04 Britney Spears thinks that her ex husband Sam Haskari was secretly cooperating with

09:12 her estranged father, Jamie, and giving him information to support her 13 year conservatorship.

09:18 Like this is wild guys.

09:24 Sam filed for divorce from Britney in August of 2023, just a little over a year after they

09:29 got married.

09:36 But someone close to Britney now says that she had started having serious doubts about

09:43 their relationship well before they officially ended it.

09:46 A source within the Spears family says Britney became suspicious that Sam, who she started

09:52 dating 5 years before her father's control over her ended, might have been sharing personal

09:58 details about her life with her father Jamie.

10:01 And this is what Insider had to say.

10:03 Britney has reason to believe that Sam was secretly working with her dad Jamie since

10:08 early on in their relationship.

10:10 Sam would supply information to Jamie that would help keep her locked up in the conservatorship.

10:13 In exchange, Sam was given access to her and her money.

10:17 Britney now feels like Sam was being deceitful all along.

10:20 Less than 2 months after meeting on set of her Slumber Party music video, Sam and Britney

10:27 made their relationship official on Instagram in December of 2016.

10:33 Back then, Britney's father had complete control over her money, her job, as well as

10:39 her daily life.

10:40 Even though Britney was mainly surrounded by her father, Jamie was still a part of her

10:46 life.

10:47 Sam was embraced by Britney Spears' family, who were very distant from her at the time.

10:54 And he even joined them on family trips and outings.

10:57 However, according to a source, their marriage started to struggle over time.

11:03 And this source reveals that Britney's unhappiness actually prompted her to pull away from the

11:07 marriage months before Sam officially got married.

11:10 Nevertheless, the source specifically had this to say.

11:14 Britney was done with Sam months ago and was very unhappy.

11:18 There were plans in place to set Sam up with his own place and give him money to live on

11:23 so that it would be amicable.

11:25 But the source said that Britney was not happy with the way Sam was treating her.

11:29 And that she was not happy with the way Sam was treating her.

11:32 Britney's father, Sam, was also not happy with the way Sam was treating her.

11:36 And that's why Britney was not happy with the way Sam was treating her.

11:41 So guys, for a long time, not much was known about Britney's conservatorship.

11:45 However, in June of 2021, she revealed distressing information during a deposition in a Los Angeles

11:52 court.

11:53 In addition to having some disturbing claims being made of mistreatment by her father,

11:59 she also disclosed that the conservatorship stopped her from marrying Sam.

12:03 And she explained that she was made to use IUD devices to avoid becoming pregnant.

12:11 So yeah, Britney has been through a lot guys.

12:14 And to think that Sam had something to do with it, to kind of pressure her, or in a

12:21 way manipulate her to stay under the conservatorship somehow, don't necessarily know exactly how

12:27 he was doing it.

12:28 But man, that is just sad.

12:30 And Britney's fans wanna know, will she ever get a break?
