Britney Spears teases her upcoming memoir 'The Woman in Me' with a short video of a printing press. Britney poses in the car with a playful pout after showing off her book's cover.
Britney Spears has recalled her harrowing childhood and teen years in her new memoir, The Woman In Me.
Her story: In the bombshell book, the singer, 41, claimed her father Jamie would fat shame her as a child during wild drinking binges and felt like a 'child robot' in the Mickey Mouse club The singer claimed Jamie's battle with alcohol had a significant impact on his ability to provide for his family on financial and emotional levels.
'At the time I had no idea why he was so hard on us, and why nothing we ever did seemed good enough in his eyes,' Britney said in the memoir. 'To me, the saddest thing was that I had always just wanted a father who loved me just the way I was - someone who said,"I love you, period. You can do anything. I would love you forever unconditionally."'He 'repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it,' she said.
The Toxic hitmaker — who detailed the unrelenting control her father had over her in her explosive tell-all — said she only yearned for 'normalcy' as a teenager but realized that her family really was not 'normal'. 'But not just a robot - a sort of child-robot,' she said. 'I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself.'
The singer, who dated Timberlake, 42, from 1999-2002, conceived in late 2000 when the pair were both 19.
