According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/music\/news\/britney-spears-shaved-head-2007-b2431501.html\"><em>The Independent<\/em><\/a>, the pop singer gave herself a buzzcut in 2008 in front of approximately 70 photographers after leaving rehab. This moment was among a series of breakdowns that ultimately landed Ms Spears in a court-mandated conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears. It was in 2021 that she was finally given back all her legal rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, in her upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/feature\/repeatedly-told-me-britney-spears-reveals-being-body-shamed-by-father-during-conservatorship-4491987\">memoir<\/a>, &#8216;The Woman in Me&#8217;, Ms Spears has reflected on the highs and lows throughout her tumultuous career. Specifically, in an excerpt obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/britney-spears-reveals-why-shaved-off-hair-in-2007-exclusive-8362494\"><em>People<\/em><\/a>, the pop icon explained why she cut off all her hair ahead of her conservatorship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d been eyeballed so much growing up. I&#8217;d been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager,&#8221; the singer wrote in an excerpt. &#8220;Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back,&#8221; she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Notably, at the time, Ms Spears was also in the middle of her divorce from ex-husband Kevin Federline while simultaneously fighting for custody over their two sons, Jayden and Sean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/feature\/ai-reads-words-on-ancient-scroll-burned-in-mount-vesuvius-eruption-4492422\">AI Reads Words On Ancient Scroll Burned In Mount Vesuvius Eruption<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 41-year-old in her memoir said once her father took control of her personal, medical and financial affairs in 2008, she no longer had a say in her day-to-day life. She said she was forbidden from keeping the new look. &#8220;I was made to understand that those days were now over,&#8221; she wrote, adding, &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in an excerpt from her memoir, Ms Spears opened up about her conservatorship, saying that it &#8220;stripped me of my womanhood&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; she revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Further, she also said that she &#8220;didn&#8217;t deserve&#8221; what her family did to her. &#8220;The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage &#8230; and to be a robot the rest of the time,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The memoir, &#8216;The Woman in Me&#8217; is set to be released on October 24.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/feature\/britney-spears-explains-why-she-shaved-off-her-hair-in-2007-4494285\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The memoir, &#8216;The Woman in Me&#8217; is set to be released on October 24.
