The same insider added: "If necessary, the project could become a mini-series in the style of Genius: Aretha. The next chapter of her life is about reclaiming her mind, body and spirit, so she's ready to tell all."

In the meantime, two previous documentaries about Britney Spears have enjoyed considerable success, even without her direct involvement.

One focused on her life journey, while the other explored the #FreeBritney movement.

In 2023, she released her explosive memoir 'The Woman in Me', which flew off the shelves with a staggering 1.1 million copies sold in its first week alone.

Britney's candid account was the second fastest-selling debut of 2023, narrowly missing out on the top spot to Prince Harry's book 'Spare'.

In her memoir, the 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' singer delved into intimate details about her relationship with fellow artist Justin Timberlake. The duo met during their early years on the Mickey Mouse Club.

However, what fans were unaware of was the tumultuous nature of their relationship. In her revealing book, Britney disclosed that she had fallen pregnant with Justin's child but he wasn't ready for fatherhood, leading her to have a secret abortion.

She also explored her struggles with mental health and her fluctuating relationship with her family, from whom she is believed to be estranged. This followed the overturning of her conservatorship in court.

Jamie Lynn Spears: Britney Spears' Sister Posts Cryptic Post Hours after the Pop Star Is Forced to Pay Father Jamie's $2M Legal Bill in Settlement


It appears Jamie Lynn Spears was enjoying a quiet "I told you so" moment. The actress posted a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories late Friday following the surprising settlement of her older sister Britney Spears' years-long legal battle with their father, Jamie Spears.

Still, the actress appears to be handling it with composure. She shared a meme of a seemingly unamused little boy with pursed lips, captioning it: "Me watching what I predicted unfold after everyone told me I was crazy." Details of the settlement have not been revealed, although TMZ claimed the pop star and her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, agreed to cover Jamie's $2 million in legal fees.

Surprising Move

With the settlement reached, the trial concerning Britney's allegations of improper behavior by her father during her 13-year conservatorship, which was scheduled for June, will no longer proceed.

In the court testimony in June 2021, the pop singer revealed that she was coerced by her father and other conservators to go on tour against her will.

She also revealed that she was prescribed lithium, which made her feel "drunk," and was prohibited from marrying or having a baby as she desired, being forced to use an IUD for birth control.

Insiders for TMZ have suggested that Britney is allegedly furious about the settlement, although she would have had to approve it.

After the announcement of the deal, the "Gimme More" artist appeared to express her resignation in a social media post.

"It has been our honor and privilege to represent, protect, and defend Britney Spears," Rosengart, said in a statement to CNN.

"Ms. Spears is and always will be an icon and a brilliant and brave artist of historic and epic proportion,' the statement continued.

"Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete. As she desired, her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court in this matter."

Troubled Life

Jamie's attorney, Alex Weingarten, issued a statement on behalf of his client. "Jamie is thrilled that this is all over. Jamie loves his daughter very much and worked tirelessly to protect her, Weingarten said. He wants the best for Britney, nothing less."

The Grammy winner and her father have been estranged since her 13-year conservatorship came to an end in November 2021.

In her memoir "The Woman In Me," released in October of last year, Britney made allegations that her father called her "fat."

She also accused him and his associates of exerting control over her body and finances for 13 years, which left her feeling unwell.

The "Toxic" singer claimed that her father profited from her wealth.

She also accused her mother, Lynne Spears, and her sister, Jamie Lynn, of benefiting from the conservatorship, although she has partially reconciled with them in the subsequent years.

Britney Spears’ Settlement With Her Father Jamie Will Reportedly Cost The Singer Millions In Attorney’s Fees


Britney Spears isn't the only member of her family singing gimme more. The "Mind Your Business" singer's heated legal battle with her father, Jamie Spears, has reportedly come to an end.

According to TMZ, yesterday (April 26) Britney and Jamie reached a settlement in their dispute over misappropriation of funds during Spears' 13-year conservatorship.

In the outlet's report, sources revealed that Jamie will not be required to pay Britney anything. Instead, Britney is now allegedly responsible for covering her father's attorney fees, which reportedly amount to over $2 million.

The same close affiliate alleges that Britney is "furious" over the results. After allegedly being "reassured" by her lawyer Mathew Rosengart, Britney believed that she could recoup her financial loss from that time in her life. Rosengart's success in helping to end the entertainer's conservatorship (with the public's support via the #FreeBritney movement) supposedly led Britney to feel confident in her chances in court.

In Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, the singer alleged that her father controlled all aspects of her finances, including control over where she spent her allotted allowance. Back in November 2022, Britney took to Instagram with an emotional message after regaining control over her accounts.

"A year ago was my first time buying something with my own two hands," she wrote. "My legs and hands were shaking for 15 minutes after I bought something."

Britney Spears settles legal battle with estranged father, officially ending conservatorship


Pop music icon Britney Spears reached a settlement with her estranged father, James P. Spears, more than two years after the court-ordered termination of her conservatorship that gave him control over her affairs.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed following court filings made by both parties in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, as legal battles persisted over attorney fees and Spears's allegations of her father's improper behavior during the 13-year-long conservatorship.

“Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete," Spears's attorney, Matthew Rosengart, told CNN in a statement. "As she desired, her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court in this matter.”

Spears was placed under a court-ordered conservatorship under her father's supervision in 2008 after a series of high-profile, public breakdowns, including being committed twice to a psychiatric hospital in California.

A public campaign to end the conservatorship gained significant attention during the early days of the COVID-19 Pandemic with the slogan #FreeBritney going viral on Instagram and TikTok in July 2020.

In July 2021, Spears made her first testimony in open court to challenge the conservatorship, which she claimed was highly "abusive." Spears claimed that during the conservatorship she was forced to go on tour by her management, was forced to take lithium, and was coerced to use an IUD for birth control.

The two sides in the legal dispute have fought in court for nearly two years since the end of the conservatorship, with Jamie Spears seeking court approval for over $2 million in fees to multiple law firms he hired during his capacity as conservators on top of payment for his ongoing legal bills.

Featured Local Savings

Rosengart has consistently objected to the fees, arguing the elder Spears engaged in severe financial misconduct during his tenure as his daughter's legal guardian.

Alex Weingarten, lawyer for James Spears, told the New York Times that he could not discuss the terms of the confidential settlement but that both parties had resolved the longstanding issues. 

“Jamie is thrilled all this is over,” said Weingarten. “He would love nothing more than to reconcile and be a family again. He has only ever acted in Britney’s best interests.”

In her post-conservatorship memoir, The Woman in Me, which has sold over 2 million copies, Spears said that she does not plan to push forward her music career at the moment. 

“It’s time for me not to be someone who other people want; it’s time to actually find myself,” wrote Spears.

Britney Spears Says ‘Love Heals Everything’ as She Settles Conservatorship Case With Dad Jamie


Britney Spears celebrated the legal end of her conservatorship with a "real" glass of wine.

"Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything and that is all there is," Spears, 42, wrote via Instagram on Friday, April 26, alongside a photo of a 2019 bottle of Norton Malbec. "And REAL wine feels extremely nice as well 🍷 !!! Psss first time with real wine 🍷 Jesus f–king Christ !!!"

Her conservatorship required weekly drug tests and forbade her from drinking alcohol, she claimed in a June 2022 Instagram that has since been deleted, per Business Insider. Spears' latest photo, however, came the same day Us Weekly confirmed that the pop star had settled her lawsuit with her estranged father, Jamie Spears, over her conservatorship.

"It has been our honor and privilege to represent, protect, and defend Britney Spears, Ms. Spears is and always will be an icon and a brilliant and brave artist of historic and epic proportion," Britney's attorney Mathew Rosengart said in a statement to Us on Friday. "Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete."

Per Rosengart, the settlement means that Britney will no longer need to "attend or be involved with court or entangled with legal proceedings" going forward. The statement read, "Britney Spears won when the court suspended her father, and Britney Spears won when her fundamental rights and civil liberties were restored."

Britney Spears' and her father, Jamie Spears, have been at odds throughout the singer's life. Growing up, Britney and her mother, Lynne Spears, were close as the matriarch took her eldest daughter to auditions and performances in their native Louisiana. Jamie, for his part, faced a series of personal struggles. After Britney's career took off […]

Britney's estate was under the control of her father, 71, for 13 years before her conservatorship, which made Jamie in charge of her finances and person, was terminated in November 2021. It began in 2008 after Britney went through a series of public struggles following her divorce from Kevin Federline. (The two share sons Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17.)

In her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, Britney described feeling like a "child-robot" under the control of her father for more than a decade.

Britney Spears' career and personal life have faced a series of ups and downs over the years. Spears first showed off her vocal skills on the singing competition Star Search at 10 years old in 1992. Following a stint on The Mickey Mouse Club, she signed a record deal with Jive Records in 1997 and […]

"I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself," she wrote. "The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me."

Jamie, for his part, doesn't view the conservatorship in quite the same way. "Not everybody's going to agree with me. It's been one hell of a time," he told the Daily Mail in December 2022. "But I love my daughter with all my heart and soul. Where would Britney be right now without that conservatorship? And I don't know if she'd be alive. I don't. For protecting her, and also protecting [her two teenage sons], conservatorship was a great tool."

Britney Spears admits she ‘likes making people uncomfortable’ in cryptic new post


In the video, Britney could be seen walking back and forth in front of the mirror, smiling at her phone. With a sultry demeanour, she ran her hands provocatively down her body.

"May 1, last year … again I like making people uncomfortable with silence!" she captioned the post with several laughing face emojis.

Britney disabled comments on her Instagram post, preventing fans from sharing their views on her upload.

Recently, Britney sparked concerns as she posted a set of nude snaps as she clung to herself on an empty beach while talking about her funeral.

If you can't see the video above, click here to watch it.

In one snap, the mother-of-two kneeled down in the rippling waves and pressed her breasts together as she stared at the camera behind her large sunglasses, before standing to give her 42.3 million followers a wide grin.

The Baby One More Time hitmaker kept her modesty with a few well-placed flower emojis that left the tattoos along her bikini line uncovered.

However, her seemingly carefree vibe in the photos was starkly contrasted by her somber caption as she questioned: "When people say we are so happy for you I'm like well how come you all got offended when I wasn't in the coffin at my funeral???"

She clarified she was joking, cryptically adding "game of chess" while also praising the beach location saying it makes her "believe in God" whenever she visits and explained the quick getaway was a "beautiful treat to myself".

Britney Spears to pay father's legal fees as star gets nothing after conservatorship court battle


After years of battling it out in court, Britney Spears' legal battle with her father Jamie Spears has been settled not in Britney's favour, despite her being released of the conservatorship

Britney has settled her case with her father

Britney Spears' legal battle with her father Jamie Spears has ended, but not in the way she hoped.

The singer has settled her case, which originally claimed that Jamie mishandled Britney's estate while he was her conservator for thirteen years. Jamie and his team claimed that nothing he did over the years was illegal.

Britney outlined her life under the conservatorship in her memoir, The Woman In Me, where she said she gave up her "freedom" in order to see her sons, Sean Preston, now 18, and Jayden James, now 17. The Oops I Did It Again singer was under a conservatorship from 2008 to 2021.

The settlement reached leaves Jamie not owing Britney anything and the Toxic singer paying her father's bills. According to TMZ, a source says Britney is "furious" about the settled case.

The outlet claims that Britney was told her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart told her there was a solid case - but now she's left paying over $2 million (about £1.6 million) in Jamie's legal bills. Britney has reportedly shelled out over $4 million (about £3.2 million) to her lawyer in her own fees.

Britney and Jamie's legal battle has been brewing since 2021, after her conservatorship ended. In February, Jamie filed documents in court that his 41-year-old daughter has been using stall tactics to keep the lawsuit going.

In Britney's memoir, released last October, and in court, she claimed that her father forced her on birth control and wouldn't let her get married to her then-boyfriend Sam Asghari. The two eventually married in 2022 but got divorced in 2023, months before her memoir was released.

Her best-selling memoir is in talks to become a film. Reportedly Sony Pictures currently leads the negotiations as Britney's songwriters have been told their music could be used in the adaptation.

A source told The Mirror: "Britney’s book was a groundbreaking best-seller and raised the public’s consciousness with regards to how the entertainment industry and conservatorships work. She’s in advanced talks to turn it into a cinematic release and her songwriters have been informed that some of her songs will be used once it is greenlit.

Britney Spears Reportedly Settles Her Legal Battle With Dad


Britney Spears has finally settled her legal battle with her father, according to TMZ. The settlement marks the end of a fight to leave her "abusive" years-long conservatorship in the rearview, her lawyer told Page Six. Matthew Rosengart, who played a major role in the legal battle to "Free Britney," told the outlet: "Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete." After her conservatorship ended, Rosengart immediately launched an investigation into Jamie Spears, and anyone else he felt unjustly profited off his client. The settlement will require Spears to pay her father's legal bills, but it will also prevent the superstar from having to appear in court. One insider source told Page Six that Spears "wanted to put everything behind her," and was pleased with the outcome. "Although he was ready to go to trial, Rosengart acted upon her wishes and she's thrilled it's all resolved," the source said.
