Britney Spears posts video, declines Oprah interview

Britney Spears is telling her story in her own words.

The pop superstar released a bombshell 22-minute audio clip on YouTube Sunday about the “abuse” she experienced as a result of her conservatorship and also shared why she turned down “lots of money” to do a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“I get nothing out of sharing all of this,” Spears, 40, said. “I have offers to do interviews with Oprah and so many people [for] lots and lots of money, but it’s insane. I don’t want any of it. For me, it’s beyond a sit-down proper interview.”

The “Hold Me Closer” singer once again lashed out at her family in the since-deleted audio, explaining she felt like they had abandoned her amid her conservatorship.

“They literally killed me. They threw me away,” Spears said. “I felt like my family threw me away. I was performing for thousands of people at night in Vegas, the rush of being a performer, the laughter, the respect … I was a machine. I was a f–king machine, not even human almost. It was insane.”

Spears claimed she was forced to tell the public that she sought treatment due to her father Jamie Spears’ colon illness, but behind closed doors she was “crying” to her dad and then-conservator, Jamie Spears, and her team.

“I was, like, ‘Why are you guys doing this?’” the “Stronger” singer said she told them, adding that Jamie’s last words to her allegedly were, “Now you don’t have to go, but if you don’t go, we’re going to go to trial and you’re going to lose. I have way more people on my side than you [do]. You don’t even have a lawyer, so don’t even think about it.”

Britney further described the amount of control that Jamie and his co-conservators had over her, sharing that she was once in a “secret relationship” with an unnamed man.

“I was talking to a guy, and he wanted to just leave the country with me. We had it all set up to leave, and it was a secret relationship,” she said.

The “Crossroads” star claimed she told her then-assistant at the time, “My biggest fear was ‘What would my dad do if I did do something wrong? What if they found me? What would they do?’ … And she looked at me and said, ‘Are you kidding me, Britney? Your dad would never do that to you.’”

Britney said despite all that happened between her and her father, she is “honestly more angry” with her mother, Lynne Spears, because when reporters would call the…
