Following her release from conservatorship last year, Britney Spears has signed a deal to write a memoir.

The "Gimme More" singer, 41, has inked a multimillion-dollar publishing deal with Simon & Schuster for her book. On Monday, February 21, Page Six originally reported the news, suggesting a $15 million payoff for the Crossroads star.

After eventually speaking out about the issue in June during a shocking courtroom hearing, Spears' conservatorship kept her in the public glare for the rest of 2021. The pop diva stated at the time that she did not want to be placed under formal adult supervision, with her father, Jamie Spears, making all of her financial choices.

Britney Spears Lands Record-Breaking Bombshell Book Deal

Britney's conservatorship terminated in November after a change of legal teams and multiple hearings. The Mississippi-born entertainer was free to express herself on social media since she didn't have a conservator in control of her person or estate.

Jamie Spears, Spears' father, had been living under a court-ordered conservatorship since 2007. The conservatorship remained in place even though the singer continued to perform, touring and enjoying a residency in Las Vegas. The "#FreeBritney" movement began after rumors surfaced among fans that the pop singer was being put in conservatorship against her will.

Spears told a judge in the summer of 2021 that her conservators pushed her to work despite her pleas for a vacation from touring. Spears later gave her first public testimony on her conservatorship.

Spears' situation has piqued international interest in the last year, igniting a debate about conservatorships and the possibility for abuse. The pop star's court fight is now ongoing, with both parties battling over funds, according to Variety.

Tell-All Memoir Will Give Insights of Britney Spears' Career, Family Drama

Britney's plans to write her biography to rebut the "derogatory" charges made in her younger sister Jamie Lynn's forthcoming book were disclosed exclusively to The Sun last month. Things I Should Have Said, Jamie Lynn's scathing new book, makes a series of disturbing charges regarding the Toxic singer.

When Britney's younger sister was barely 12, the 30-year-old said Britney got a knife and locked them both in a room. Jamie Lynn's book ignited a spat between the sisters, with Britney accusing Jamie Lynn of "profiting" on her success.

Britney has reached a "boiling point" over her sister's falsehoods, according to a source who spoke to The Sun shortly after Jamie Lynn's book was out, and is contemplating numerous multi-million dollar offers from prominent publishers to write her version of events. The singer is also in discussions with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview, according to the first rumors about Britney's biography.

In November, the Grammy winner was released from her father Jaime's 13-year conservatorship. Her connection with her family, though, remains tense after years of claimed abuse.

Following the conservatorship victory, Britney's lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, is claimed to be "open" to his client coming out publicly. Britney had had multiple offers from various publishers, according to a source who spoke to The Sun at the time.

Britney's fiancé Sam Asghari, according to the source, has been her strongest supporter in regaining her freedom. The love of her fans has also proven reassuring to the Toxic singer. Jamie Lynn's book, on the other hand, "ignited a fire" beneath Britney, as per The Sun.
