I\u2019d been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager. Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back,\u201d the pop star writes in her forthcoming memoir, \u201cThe Woman in Me,\u201d according to an excerpt published by People Tuesday.However, Britney, 41, notes that once her father, Jamie Spears, took control of her personal, medical and financial affairs in 2008, she no longer had a say in her day-to-day life.\u201cI was made to understand that those days were now over,\u201d she shares. \u201cI had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medication they told me to take.\u201dIn between a string of stints in rehab, the Grammy winner walked into Esther\u2019s Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, Calif., one night in 2007 and asked for her then-brunette hair to be shaved off.The salon\u2019s owner, Esther Tognozzi, refused, so Britney took matters into her own hands by grabbing a clipper and giving herself a buzzcut while paparazzi snapped photos through the windows. Just days later, the \u201cToxic\u201d singer was photographed attacking a photographer\u2019s car with an umbrella. The back-to-back incidents, which occurred while she was going through a divorce and custody battle with Kevin Federline, instantly made Britney a tabloid fixture.But the following year, after she was hospitalized on two involuntary psychiatric holds, Jamie went to court and made himself his daughter\u2019s legal guardian.\u201cThe conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child,\u201d Britney writes in her book, which hits stores on Oct. 24. \u201cI 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.\u201d The \u201cCrossroads\u201d star says she \u201cdidn\u2019t deserve\u201d what her family did to her.\u201cThe woman in me was pushed down for a long time,\u201d she writes. \u201cThey wanted me to be wild onstage \u2026 and to be a robot the rest of the time.\u201dAfter Britney testified against her \u201cabusive\u201d conservatorship in open court in 2021, a Los Angeles judge suspended Jamie, now 71, before terminating the arrangement altogether.","author_name":"Allo Trends Morning Breaking News","author_url":"https:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/MorningBreakingNews","width":480,"height":269,"html":"
