Actress Margot Robbie recently revealed that she has no plans to play Britney Spears in the film version of the pop star’s memoir, “The Woman In Me,” which is officially released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
Celebrities such as “Barbie” star Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon and Shonda Rhimes have all been rumored to be trying to acquire the rights to Britney’s memoir to turn it into a visual medium, such as a film or documentary. Later reports indicated that Shonda Rhimes was no longer interested in producing through her Shondaland company, despite writing the screenplay for Britney’s 2002 film “Crossroads” and bringing the popular “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Bridgerton” series to audiences around the world.
Now it seems Margot Robbie is also setting the record straight, revealing that she wants no part in bringing Britney’s memoir to life. Not only does he not plan to produce the feature, but he also doesn’t plan to play a pop star when the project finally begins casting.

Australian actress and producer Margot Robbie may be known for her wide range, but it seems she’s not interested in producing a Britney Spears memoir or playing a pop star on the big screen. At Variety’s Power of Women Los Angeles 2023 event, the “Babylon” star told Access Hollywood that reports of her production company LuckyChap’s involvement in bidding for the rights to Britney’s memoir are “not true.”
“No, I only heard it tonight. It’s not true,” said Robbie.
When asked if he would consider playing the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer on the big screen, Robbie repeated, “It’s not true; it’s not true.”

No wonder many top producers in Hollywood want to make “The Woman In Me” into a movie or documentary, since this book sold 1.1 million copies in its first week! According to The Ankler, the bidding range is somewhere in the “mid-eight-figure range.” While it was rumored that Margot Robbie wanted to produce the film through her LuckyChap Productions company, and Shonda Rhimes through her Shondaland production company, it appears that those initial reports were inaccurate.
It remains to be seen whether Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B Entertainment or Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine are still interested in the project. An insider told Page Six that the project is “just starting to take shape” and noted that Britney rescheduled a meeting with an unnamed top producer “at the last minute” because she “wasn’t feeling it.”
A producer who previously worked with the “Toxic” singer told The Ankler that Britney “doesn’t give as— who you are,” adding, “She always is. It’s just Britney.” However, the publisher was reportedly “very compassionate” given the sensitive nature of her memoir, which talks about her love life, her new career in the entertainment industry, her relationship with her estranged family, and her controversial 13-year conservatorship, which lasted from February 2008 to November 2021.
Britney Spears Felt Like a ‘Child Robot’ During Her Conservancy

In one of the first excerpts from Britney’s memoir released ahead of the official publication date, the pop star explained that she felt like a “child robot” in a quote published by People magazine.
“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 in her memoirs. “Conservation had stripped me of my femininity, made I was a child. 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.”

She also gave a nod to the book’s title, writing, “The woman in me was rejected for a long time. They want me to be wild on stage, the way they tell me to be and be a robot all the time. I feel like I’ve been stripped of the secrets of the good life – the cardinal sins of the pleasures and adventures that make us human.”
“They want to take away that privilege and keep everything as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist,” he added, admitting that he felt “like a shadow of myself” during his life.
Britney Spears’ memoir “The Woman In Me” was officially released on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
