Britney Spears Reveals Unwanted Rehab Stints in New Memoir, Blames Father's Control Under Conservatorship

Spears Describes Unsettling Treatment Facilities, Detention Among "Serious Drug Addicts", Stating the Stints for Over-The-Counter Energy Supplements Use Were Dictated by Father's Conservatorship, Which Limited Access to Her Two Kids

• Britney Spears shares in her new memoir, 'The Woman in Me,' that she was sent twice to rehab in 2014 and 2019, under her father Jamie Spear's watch when he was her legal conservator.
• She reveals that these rehab stints were due to her use of over-the-counter energy supplements, initially introduced to her by her then-boyfriend Charlie Ebersol, which she claims her father mistook as a drug problem.
• Being sent to rehab not only distanced her from her two sons for a month, but also subjected her to distressing conditions: Spears writes that many fellow patients were serious drug addicts, which caused her to fear for her safety.
• Despite these rehab stays, she was pressurised to continue performing in Las Vegas as if nothing happened, which Spears describes as a reflection of her lack of control over her life during the conservatorship.
• Spears credits the #FreeBritney movement with raising awareness about her situation, ultimately leading to the end of her father's conservatorship over her in November 2021. Despite the hardships she faced, she thanks those who stood up for her during her conservatorship in her memoir.
