Britney Spears’ autobiography delayed amid legal concerns about flings with two major Hollywood stars
BRITNEY Spears’ tell-all autobiography has been put back amid legal concerns over claims she had affairs with two Hollywood stars.
Lawyers for those worried about the possible content of the memoir have sent letters to publisher Simon & Schuster.
It is now consulting with its own legal team on the matter — causing the singer’s book to be put on hold.
A source said: “Britney is brutally honest in the book — there are a lot of nervous A-listers.
“Strongly worded legal letters have been sent to the publishers by people who know Britney and who fear what she has written.
“There is no movement at the moment and there are concerns over when it will eventually be able to come out.”
The book had been due out in February but is now expected to come out at the end of the year.
It will cover her controversial conservatorship, her marriage to her third husband — actor Sam Asghari, 29 — and other topics which she has never spoken about publicly.
The source said: “Britney wants this to be her moment she talks to the world, to tell her side of the story and set the record straight.
“There’s a fair amount of throwing people under the bus, talking about past relationships, some of whom will be revealed for the first time ever.
“Britney lived her life in the public eye but there are relationships and people she had encounters with who she managed to keep under the radar, including some massive film star names and people from the music world.
“She has wanted to go all out with this book and tell her truth, and that’s what has people worried.”
The troubled singer’s publishing deal, one of the highest on record, is worth almost £12million.
Britney, 41, has enlisted journalist and novelist Sam Lansky as a ghostwriter.
Previously, she said online that she had “written three different versions of my book and had LOTS of therapy through the process”.
Before her current marriage, she wed her childhood friend Jason Alexander, 41, for 55 hours in 2004 before it was annulled.
She married dancer Kevin Federline, 45, later that year and they had sons Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, before divorcing in 2007.
Britney also had relationships with Justin Timberlake, 42, choreographer Wade Robson, 40, actor Colin Farrell, 46, and paparazzo Adnan Ghalib, 51.
In November 2021, a court ruled the conservatorship that gave her dad Jamie control of her personal and financial affairs for 13 years, was over.
