ICONIC Britney Spears released her much-awaited memoir, The Woman in Me, which recounts her rise to fame, turbulent relationships and personal struggles.
The Toxic singer took to Instagram to share her heart-felt thoughts on the release that read: “I have moved on and it’s a beautiful clean slate from here. This is actually a book I didn’t know needed to be written… and it has given me closure.”
She went on to say that she had seen the headlines at the time of the book release which she did not appreciate.
“That’s exactly why I quit the business four years ago!” she wrote.
“My book’s purpose was not to offend anyone by any means. That was me then … that is in the past !!! I don’t like the headlines that I’m reading.”
According to Gallery Books, the memoir is described as “a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith and hope.”
It goes on to say that it reveals Spear’s journey through her fame, the power of music and love – as well as the value of a strong woman revealing her story to the world.
Spears wrote in her book that it took her a long time for her to ‘feel ready’ to tell her story. She, however, hopes that her tale and battles can ultimately inspire people and ‘touch hearts’.
