Brit: 'My Life Is Worse Than Jail'

Pop princess complains in documentary

Share

(Newser) – Britney Spears thinks her post-breakdown life might be more enjoyable behind bars, the Daily Telegraph reports. In a new documentary airing on MTV on November 30, Spears says her life is “too in control.” The singer, whose dad was granted post-meltdown control of her affairs, believes she’s still paying for antics such as shaving her head. “I think I've learned my lesson now and enough is enough,” she said.

She added, “Even when you go to jail you know there's the time when you're gonna get out. But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like Groundhog Day every day.”

If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I'm having to pay for a long time. I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free. - Britney Spears

If I wasn't under the restraints I'm under, I'd feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear but they're really not listening. - Britney Spears

Maybe she shouldn't have started whoring herself out at age 15, that would have saved her at least SOME of the trouble. Reply

Where was this desire for privacy when she was shaking her ass for McDonald's and Pepsi? Reply
