Britney Spears Calls Her Life Worse Than a Jail Sentence
Tuesday, 18 November 2008
Britney Spears says that since her breakdown, her life has been worse than a jail sentence – but that she's slowly healing one day at a time. "I have really good days, and then I have bad days," the singer, 26, admits in a new fly-on-the wall, 90-minute documentary, Britney: For The Record, to air in the U.S....
Nov. 30 on MTV and in the U.K. Dec. 1 on Sky1.
Struggling to gain control of her life again after her
public meltdown earlier this year, she says candidly: "Even when you go to
jail, y'know, there's the time when you're gonna get out. But in this
situation, it's never ending. It's just like [the Bill Murray movie] Groundhog
Day."
She adds, "I'm having to pay for it for a really long
time."
Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation in January,
which resulted in her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, being granted sole custody
of their sons, Preston and Jayden. Her father,
Jamie Spears, also gained legal control over her affairs.
Not Being Heard
"If I wasn't under the restraints that I'm under right
now, I'd feel so liberated," she says in the film, which follows the
singer as she records and promotes her new album Circus. "When I tell them
the way I feel, it's like they hear me, but they're really not listening."
