Britney Spears’ shocking revelations about why she shaved off her head in 2007

Britney Spears has become the referent of resilience over the years after everything she has been through since the earlier years of her career in 1999. After years of silence about her private life for numerous reasons, the American pop star is ready to tell her truth in her new memoir, “The Woman in Me,” such as why she shaved off her head in 2007.

Spears was going through a painful divorce at the time and the paparazzi and media outlets pressure were crashing her, numerous speculations regarding her mental state were spread everywhere and her head-shaving incident gave strength to the narrative.

What was on Britney’s mind during this time?

Britney’s memoir goes back to some of the most important moments in her life, even not the great ones, and in an exclusive sneak peek from PEOPLE, some of the most controversial questions of all time were answered

“I’d been eyeballed so much growing up. I’d been looked up and down and 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.” 

This controversial pop culture moment led to a court-ordered conservatorship in 2008 where she lost control over her financial and personal affairs, including not being bald anymore.

“Under the conservatorship, I was made to understand that those days were now over, 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.”

Britney has shown strength in her life to keep bringing joy to the world after her conservatorship ended on November 21, she knew she could tell the story of her life through her memoir, “The Woman In Me.” 

“It is finally time for me to raise my voice and speak out, and my fans deserve to hear it directly from me. No more conspiracy, no more lies—just me owning my past, present, and future.”

Britney Spears’ highly anticipated memoir, “The Woman in Me” is set to be published on October 24 everywhere.
