The pop star thanked fans while celebrating the one-year anniversary of her best-selling memoir
Britney Spears thanked her fans for their support on the one-year anniversary of the publication of her memoir, The Woman in Me.
The pop star shared a short note on Twitter yesterday, Oct. 28, to mark the occasion: “Wow wow wow … thank you all for your support over the past year!!! It means the world to me!!!” she wrote.
Since its release last year, The Woman in Me has sold over three million copies. It contained several bombshell revelations, many of which were related to Spears’ controversial conservatorship, which finally ended in 2021. In the book, she said the court-ordered arrangement turned her into “a sort of child-robot,” adding, “I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself.”
Spears also wrote about agreeing to the conservatorship so she’d be able to be with her kids (whom she’d lost custody of after her divorce with Kevin Federline); feeling betrayed by her sister Jamie Lynn, who told Spears to “stop fighting” the conservatorship; and learning about the #FreeBritney movement while she was “locked up against my will” in a rehab facility.

Along with writing about the conservatorship, Spears revealed that she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake and that he broke up with her via text. There was also a whole section dedicated to the famous 2003 VMAs performance where she and Madonna kissed, though Christina Aguilera — who was also onstage — was conspicuously not mentioned.
Back in August, Spears teased a “secret project” with the prominent producer Marc Platt. Not long after, Variety reported that Universal Pictures had picked up the rights for a Spears biopic that would be based on The Woman in Me, with Platt and director John Chu, attached to develop it.
