In 2007, she was at a crossroads in her life. On the one hand, she had to face an overwhelming career, and on the other hand, she had to experience a painful divorce from her husband. Neither of these two things gave her strength, on the contrary, it took away all her will to fight for herself and her future. Britney Spears wrote about her internal struggle only now, in . In the mentioned book, the singer described many situations from the past from her own perspective (this one did not see the light of day for many years due to ).
She constantly felt judged
In “The Woman in Me”, the singer referred to the beginnings of her career, when many people compared her appearance to her vocal talent. The singer always had to look impeccable, so shaving her hair was an escape for Britney from the responsibility of “being perfect”.
“Growing up, I received a lot of attention. I was looked at from top to bottom, people told me what they thought of my body since I was a teenager… Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of denial,” writes Britney Spears.
When the singer’s father took over her guardianship, Britney again had to stick to the iron rules, which did not improve her well-being at all. “I had to grow my hair and get back in shape. I had to go to bed early and take the medications they told me,” we read.
Britney also has a lot of regrets towards her family and close associates. “When I think back now how my father and his associates had control over my body and my money for so long, it makes me sick… Think how many male artists blew all their money gambling away; how many of them abused substances or had mental health problems. No one tried to take away their control over their bodies and money. I didn’t deserve what my family did to me,” she concluded.
