Nearly two years after the legal conservatorship that gave others control of her life was ended by a judge, pop star Britney Spears is finally telling her story in her own words.
In "The Woman in Me," released Tuesday, the "Stronger" singer opens up about being controlled by her family and reflects on inspiring moments when her love of music helped her through some of her darkest hours.
She also doesn't hold back in telling the world the good, the bad, and the ugly details of her two most prominent romantic relationships — Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline.
Here are eight of the biggest bombshells in Spears' book, from a heartbreaking abortion, to the time she almost drove off a cliff while fleeing paparazzi.
