After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, fans hoped that the "Toxic" singer would get a tell-all moment of her own. "The report about Britney considering a tell-all is greatly exaggerated and essentially giving false hope to the fans who tweeted calls for it after the Harry and Meghan interview," an insider told OK!.

"Britney would like to tell her story and has always wanted to write a memoir, but the conservatorship makes that difficult and it’s not something on her immediate radar, anyway," the source explained amid reports that the blonde beauty will be making her own documentary about her life.

Spears is still involved in a court battle about her conservatorship. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge reportedly overruled her father and conservator, Jamie Spears’, objections to having Bessemer Trust serve as co-conservator to the pop icon’s estate.

Spears attorney Samuel Ingham previously expressed that his client is "afraid" of her father and would not perform again if he remains her conservator. The Louisiana-native has since reportedly filed a petition to request that Jodi Montgomery, who served as a temporary conservator when her father took a break due to health issues, be the sole conservator of her person. 

"Any time Britney wants to end her conservatorship, she can ask her lawyer to file a petition to terminate it; she has always had this right, but in 13 years has never exercised it," Jamie’s attorney Vivian L. Thoreen said earlier this month. "Britney knows that her daddy loves her, and that he will be there for her whenever and if she needs him, just as he always has been — conservatorship or not."
