Britney Spears says she didn’t write her memoir to ‘offend’ anyone: ‘I shut it down’
Days before the book’s release, Spears spoke openly about her decision to write the memoir in a separate Instagram post, saying she didn’t write it to “offend” anyone.
“My book is not intended to offend anyone in any way,” she wrote in a note published Friday. “That was me then… that’s the past!!!”
The pop superstar then went on to say that most of what she writes about in the book happened 20 years ago.

The musician’s first memoir is packed with bombshells, from delving into her experience as a conservator, to her past relationship with Justin Timberlake and her “passionate” relationship with Colin Farrell.
Before the book hits shelves, Spears also opened up to an email interview for PEOPLE’s cover story about writing about her life.

“For the past 15 years or even at the beginning of my career, I sat while people talked about me and told my story for me,” she said. “After I got out of conservatorship, I was finally free to tell my story without repercussions from the people who were in charge of my life.”
“It’s finally time for me to speak up and my fans deserve to hear it directly from me,” she continued. “No more conspiracies, no more lies – only I own my past, present and future.”
