Britney Spears went along with the conservatorship terms to have access to her sons
Following Britney Spears' public breakdown in 2008, her father, Jamie Spears, and his lawyers got control over her personal and financial affairs through a court order for several years before her involuntary conservatorship ended in November 2021.
In her soon-to-be-released memoir, the "Princess of Pop" reveals the hardships she went through to spend time with her sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17.
"After being held down on a gurney, I knew they could restrain my body any time they wanted to," writes the pop star, adding, "And so I went along with it."
Britney continues, "My freedom in exchange for naps with my children — it was a trade I was willing to make."
In 2008, her ex-husband and the father of her sons, Kevin Federline, got their legal and physical custody after the divorce.
Britney Spears said being a mother was her 'dream'
Britney Spears stated that the 13 years spent under her father's control was the darkest period of her life.
She says, "Thirteen years went by with me feeling like a shadow of myself. I think back now on my father and his associates having control over my body and my money for that long and it makes me feel sick."
The singer also wrote, "Starting a family was my dream come true. Being a mom was my dream come true,"
