Spears writes about having postpartum depression and being consumed by “a cloud of darkness”, shaving her head and attacking a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella. When her father takes control of her life, he shoves the bowl off her desk and tells her, terrifyingly: “I’m Britney Spears now.” Spears doesn’t hold back when it comes to her family. If one of her own sons were struggling, Spears writes, “the last thing I would do would be to cut my hair into a bob and put on a tasteful pantsuit and … make money off my child’s misfortune.” Spears seems to remember little of her early fame; anecdotes are often half-told. “But after the breakup with Justin and then my divorce, I never really did trust people again.” open image in gallery Cover girl: the artwork for Spears’s much-anticipated memoir ‘The Woman in Me’ The Woman in Me ends triumphantly, with Spears successfully fighting to end her conservatorship following months in which she was held against her will in a mental health facility.
