The pop star will release a tell-all memoir as part of a landmark book deal with publishing company Simon & Schuster.
Gimme More
Industry insiders say the deal is worth as much as $15 million following a bidding war from multiple publishers over Spears’ book.
“The deal is one of the biggest of all time, behind the Obamas,” a publishing insider said.
They were referring to Barack and Michelle Obama’s estimated $65-million deal to write books for Penguin Random House in 2017.
Spears surpassed Bruce Springsteen’s $10-million book deal for Born To Run as the highest amount spent for a musician’s memoir.
Simon & Schuster is the publisher for both Spears and Springsteen, along with other high-profile book deals like Hillary Clinton’s Hard Choices and Amy Schumer’s The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo.
Toxic
The book deal was reported months after a judge freed Spears from her nearly 14-year conservatorship installed by her father, Jamie.
More recently, Spears criticized her sister, Jamie Lynn, for releasing at her expense the memoir Things I Should Have Said: Family, Fame, and Figuring It Out.
“Congrats best seller… The nerve of you to sell a book now and talk s—t but you’re f—king lying… I wish you would take a lie detector test so all these masses of people see you’re lying through your teeth about me!!!! I wish the almighty Lord could come down and show this whole world that you’re lying and making money off of me!!!! You are scum, Jamie Lynn,” Spears posted on social media.
Moreover, her lawyer issued a cease-and-desist to Jamie Lynn, saying Britney will “no longer be bullied” by her own family.
Spears previously posted a picture of a typewriter, a video teaser “of what’s to come,” and a statement hinting that her family had a lot to lose if she ever does an interview.
