In February of last year, Page Six reported that Spears’ book deal was worth $15 million, making it one of the most lucrative book deals in history. The outlet further reported Spears’ desire to write a book was in part because of her sister Jamie Lynn’s then-recent tell-all.
“I wish you would take a lie detector test so all these masses of people see you’re lying through your teeth about me,” she wrote in part after the book’s release. The singer has also criticized and called into question the veracity of several documentaries about her life that have come out in recent years.
In a since-deleted post from April 2022, Spears wrote that she was “writing a book at the moment,” describing the experience as “healing and therapeutic.”
“it’s also hard bringing up past events in my life,” she continued. “I’ve never been able to express openly I can only imagine that I do sound childish but I was extremely young with those events took place … and addressing it now … I’m sure it seems irrelevant to most and I’m completely aware of that !!!”
