In another excerpt published by People magazine on Tuesday, the “Circus” singer said that she felt like a “robot” during her conservatorship.
“I became a robot. But not just a robot – a kind of childish robot. I had become so childish that I had lost a piece of what made me feel like myself,” she wrote. “Conservation has stripped me of my femininity, made me a kids. I became more of an entity than a person on stage. I always felt the music in my bones and blood; they stole that from me.”
“This is what’s hard to explain, how quickly I can vacillate between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman, because of the way they’ve taken away my freedom,” she continued. “There’s no way to behave like an adult, because they won’t treat me like an adult, so I’ll fall back and act like a little girl; but then my grown-up self would retreat – only my world wouldn’t let me grow up.”

They want me to be wild on stage, as they say to me, and be a robot all the time,” he added. “I felt deprived of the secrets of the good life — the cardinal sins of the pleasures and adventures that make us human. They want to remove that privilege and keep everything as rote as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist.”
Britney Spears’ memoir “The Woman In Me” is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
