Britney Spears' memoir eyes Hollywood, buyers vie for rights to book
After a widely positive reception, potential buyers are showing strong interest in acquiring The Woman In Me, according to Deadline. Sources claim that offers are already pouring in whereas Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is exploring the possibility of adapting the memoir for television series, a feature film, or a documentary.
Spears’ conservatorship has already inspired documentaries in the past including Hulu’s Controlling Britney Spears and Netflix’s Britney vs Spears that significantly amplified support for "Free Britney" movement. The Toxic singer herself has slammed these portrayals.
Calling them “the trashiest docs” she has ever watched, the singer questioned the intent behind the productions and their claims to help. “I am a person. I’m not a robot or a science experiment like they analyzed me in that place. I’m a valued soul. The documentaries that were done on me, they were trash and nothing more than trash, period!”
The Woman In Me chronicles singer-songwriter Britney Spears’ journey from a prominent pop icon to an artist involuntarily placed in conservatorship by her father, citing her ‘erratic’ behavior, which famously included a public head-shaving incident.
From sharing daiquiris with her mother as a young teenager – two years after she became a regular on The Mickey Mouse Club – to the 13 years she spent as an adult in a conservatorship, the memoir details how she struggled to escape the influence of her controlling father.
Until two years ago, when she got out from under the conservatorship legal relationship that she says dictated everything from her birth control choices to the set list at lucrative Las Vegas gigs.
