"The Woman In Me," the highly anticipated memoir from pop star Britney Spears, is scheduled for release in less than two weeks.

Unfortunately, some parts of her past are too painful for the 41-year-old pop star to relive. Although the "Toxic" singer did narrate some portions of her audiobook, it looks like she has tapped another celebrity to voice some of the more painful parts of her past, especially incidents involving her family.

Although fans can't wait to get their hands on Britney's upcoming bestseller, there is at least one person who has expressed absolutely no interest in reading it. Early on Friday morning, sources told TMZ that Britney’s estranged father, Jamie Spears, has no plans to read what the pop star wrote about him in her new book.

Sources told the outlet that the 71-year-old entrepreneur already knows that his estranged daughter does not have anything positive to say about him in her book after reading what she has had to say about him on social media.

In September 2022, the "Lucky" singer wrote in a deleted Instagram post that she “prays” that both of her parents “burn in h—.”

“Sorry I will never forget because of the pain and the difference in being out of my head clear moving my feet … it has only been 10 months since the conservatorship has ended … I wouldn’t wish that kind of pain on anyone !!!” Britney wrote at the time.

“It’s extremely hard for me to accept the fact that my family did that to me … it will be hard for me for the rest of my life ? … as for my Mom and Dad who sat back and hid coffee from me at the house to wake me up from feeling dead and scared like an old lady … and threw me away … I will say it loud and proud … I pray you both burn in h—,” she added.

Britney's father, Jamie Spears arrives at the UCLA hospital to see his daughter Britney, he is clearly distressedSPEARS HOSPITALISEDBRITNEY SPEARS has been taken by ambulance from her Los Angeles mansion and admitted to the city's UCLA hospital. The star's ambulance was surrounded by a convoy of police cars as it left her Beverly Hills home, after a major incident which saw the property surrounded by emergency services. Police, paramedics and U.S. rangers were seen entering the star's luxury compound and opening the property's fire gates late on Wednesday (30Jan08) night. Spear's mother Lynne, who is in L.A. visiting her elder daughter, was seen entering the house, followed by the star's father Jamie, who was seen crying as he arrived at the property. As the pop star was whisked away to hospital, Lynne Spears was seen following the ambulance in a car with her daughter's paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. Spears was admitted to UCLA at around 1.30am on Thursday (31Jan08) morning, with her longtime companion/manager Sam Lutfi seen leaving the facility a short time later. The star will be held at the hospital on a metal health order, according to TMZ.com. The 26-year-old was previously admitted to L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center earlier this month (03Jan08) after a three-hour stand-off with police, and was held for two days on a '5150 hold' order, meaning medics have reason to believe she is a danger to herself or others.

The Princess of Pop has had a difficult relationship with her father after he was put in control of her personal and financial affairs during her controversial 13-year conservatorship, which started in February 2008 following her public mental health breakdown.

The conservatorship was finally struck down by a judge in November 2021, two months after the pop star became engaged to actor Sam Asghari. Although the two tied the knot a few months later in June 2022, the "Special Ops: Lioness" actor filed for divorce on August 16 citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.
