Britney Spears Details How Her Conservatorship Turned Her Into A “Child-Robot”

Britney Spears has been sharing bits and pieces of what she went through during her conservative days under her father Jamie Spears.

One by one she used her social media platforms to share how hellish her life was throughout the 13 years her conservatorship lasted.

Britney Spears —Britney Wrote A Memoir Titled “The Woman In Me.”

This time around, instead of sharing bits and pieces, Britney decided that writing everything in a book is better so went and wrote a memoir titled “The Woman in Me,” and made sure she left no detail out.

While the book will be out by October 24, the “Baby One More Time” singer revealed in an excerpt that was published by “PEOPLE” on October 17 that the conservatorship completely “Stripped her of her womanhood.”

“I became a robot. But not just a robot—a sort of child-robot, I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” said Britney as she added, “The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”

Britney Spears — Britney Struggled With Maturity

Britney went on to share that the way she was caged made her struggle between being a child and being the adult she is. At some point, she was indecisive about which one to be and it was a great deal of struggle, “between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman.”

She went ahead to explain, “They had robbed me of my freedom. There was no way to behave like an adult, since they wouldn’t treat me like an adult, so I would regress and act like a little girl; but then my adult self would step back in—only my world didn’t allow me to be an adult.”

Continuing, she wrote, “The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be, and to be a robot the rest of the time. I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life—those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human.”

“If they’d let me live my life,” said the “Oops! I Did It Again” singer, “I know I would’ve followed my heart and come out of this the right way and worked it out. Thirteen years went by with me feeling like a shadow of myself.”

Britney Spears — On Britney’s Shaved Hair

The Grammy winner also shared what took place after her 2007 controversial haircut. At the time, Britney shaved off her long hair while standing in a public hair salon, had her parenting abilities questioned after being seen driving with her infant son seated on her lap, and also hitting on a paparazzi’s car with an umbrella.

Britney shared that after what she did, “I was made to understand that those days were now over” and afterwards, “I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medication they told me to take.”

She went on to say, “If I thought getting criticized about my body in the press was bad, it hurt even more from my own father. He repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it.” She also added, “Feeling like you’re never good enough is a soul-crushing state of being for a child.”
