Between entertainment reporters, documentarians and fans, there’s no shortage of people willing to tell Britney Spears‘ story — amid the heated legal battles with her father over her conservatorship: except the pop superstar herself.
Interest in seeing her sit down to give her side of the story has appeared to reach a fever pitch in the wake of the recent Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey.
It turns out, Spears would like to speak out amid all the speculation about her life, but she has no plans on following in the Royals’ footsteps by doing a tell-all television interview where no subject is off-limits.
Amid growing interest in a Britney Spears tell-all TV interview, the pop superstar reportedly would ‘like to tell her side of the story’ but the conservatorship makes that difficult
The Toxic singer, 39, has been unsuccessful, so far, in her renewed bid to permanently replace her dad, Jamie Spears, as conservator of her personal affairs and $60 million fortune since 2008.
Some of the legal proceedings are among the hot topics in the New York Times documentary Framing Britney, which premiered in early February on FX on Hulu.
Growing interest in her finances and personal life as a celebrity, which many assume to be sheltered, sparked the fan-driven — #FreeBritney movement.

‘The report about Britney considering a tell-all is greatly exaggerated and essentially giving false hope to the fans who tweeted calls for it after the Harry and Meghan interview,’ an insider told Us Weekly.
‘Britney would like to tell her story and has always wanted to write a memoir, but the conservatorship makes that difficult and it’s not something on her immediate radar, anyway.’
Another source confirmed Spears’ interest in having her voice heard in an alternative format other than a TV interview.
‘Britney hasn’t mentioned doing an interview. She wants to speak and could do so on social media with the assistance of [boyfriend Sam Asghari] on his platforms if it got to be this emergency situation for her,’ the second insider explained before adding that ‘she doesn’t want to be filtered.’

Jamie Spears, 68, has been in charge of her conservatorship ever since his daughter suffered a very public breakdown in 2008, which led to her being committed to the psychiatric ward of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and put on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold under California state law.
She was released five days later and the court gave her father complete control of her assets, with attorney Andrew Wallet and licensed fiduciary Jodi Montgomery also playing roles in the case.
Wallet has since resigned from his duties in the Spears case in March 2019.

Montgomery’s role is set to end in August 2021, but the pop star has said in court documents that she is ‘strongly opposed to having [her father] return.’
In February, Jamie Spears’ lawyer, Vivian Thoreen, maintained Britney never asked for her father’s removal from her conservatorship.
Britney first met Asghari on the set of her Slumber Party music video in October 2016, and went Instagram official about their relationship with Asghari in January 2017.
