Honoree Britney Spears attends the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 12, 2018 in Beverly Hills, California.

This weekend, Britney Spears has confirmed that she is releasing a “tell-all” book that will be available by the end of the year in a since-deleted post on her Instagram page.

“I want to talk about secrets!!!” Spears, 40, wrote in the post. “The secrets I’ve had to hold the past 15 years I will say are honestly paralyzing. I had so many complaints I wanted to share and bring up only to be told to keep shut … but wait isn’t that what a woman of intellect is supposed to do. Speak up, rise to the occasion make people think.”

“Then I started to get mad angry ALL THIS TIME !!!,” she added. “Then all the offers of money to tell my side of the story …and all the documentaries were trash! I’m sure that was the ignition to move me forward but honestly, I just wanted to spit in any person’s face that came near me.”

She concluded, “S— maybe now I will need a conservatorship ?! I’m bat s— f—ing crazy JUST KIDDING … Well not really !!! But I said.. just do a book … the easiest way possible and considering my fear of people I might have to write them off for the next decade !!! Sitting down and sharing my story might not be the safest thing for anyone!!! My book comes out at the end of this year … Once it’s released not sure what’s going to happen folks.”

As we earlier reported, Spears reportedly signed a $15 million publishing deal with Simon & Schuster in February after her conservatorship was terminated. The news of the book deal followed younger sister Jamie Lynn’s memoir titled, Things I Should Have Said. During the promotional campaign for that book, Britney fired off a cease and desist letter “from referencing Britney derogatorily during your promotional campaign. If you fail to do so or defame her, Britney will be forced to consider and take all appropriate legal action.”

13 Britney Spears Music Videos That Influenced Pop

  • If U Seek Amy

    When this song came out, everyone went wild with Brit’s clever play of words with the song title (If you get it, you get it. We’re not explaining this one). Britney plays up her sex appeal in the video, wearing black lingerie and a smoky eye in a hotel room with bodies lying around her.

  • (You Drive Me) Crazy

    Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier make appearances in the music video, named after the 1999 rom-com movie Drive Me Crazy the two actors starred in. The video features epic Y2K choreographed dance battles that they just don’t do enough of anymore.

  • Me Against The Music

    The Princess and Queen of Pop got together for the most epic showdown. Britney wears a sexy suit and tie, while Madonna wears an all-white suit. Our favorite part of the video is when the two pop superstars interact with each other through a wall that they share in different rooms.

  • Womanizer

    Britney bared it all throughout her “Womanizer” music video. She wears a short black wig and black-and-white outfit in an office, completely dominating the man who thinks he’s womanizing her, but she knows just what he is. Throughout the video, her character goes through many disguises to torment the poor chap, much to our amusement.

  • Gimme More

    “It’s Britney b—h.” Britney takes a shot at her pole dancing skills in “Gimme More,” and though she never slides down the pole, we think she’s achieved the effect she was going for.

  • Stronger

    Probably the most 2000s-sounding song, “Stronger’s” music video embodies all of the aspects of the era as well: from the futuristic white and silver outfits to Britney dancing solo with a steel chair shows why she’s a legend as a singer and dancer. And of course, they incorporated a rain scene.

  • Lucky

    We would absolutely die for Britney’s luxe pink robe in “Lucky.” Channeling old Hollywood glamor, Brit plays lonely successful star, Lucky, in the video.

  • Circus

    She sure knows how to do product placement in this video, from her perfume line to Bulgari jewelry. Our favorite part of the video is when flames surround Britney and her dancers and elephants join in.

  • I'm A Slave 4 U

    Everyone in this video is a hot, sweaty mess. That doesn’t seem to bother Britney, though, who wears a pink thong over leather pants — an iconic look.

  • Work B**ch

    We love how hype “Work B—h” is, but the dancing was definitely overshadowed by the massive amounts of explosions. Also, did you peep that Beats gag ball?

  • ...Baby One More Time

    “Oh baby, baby.” Britney’s pop career was propelled with this one, at the tender age of 16. Fun fact: the video was shot at Venice High School in Los Angeles, which was the setting for Rydell High in the movie Grease.

  • Oops!...I Did It Again

    Britney went intergalactic with this one, wearing a red patent leather jumpsuit, which went down as one of the most iconic looks in pop music video history.

  • Toxic

    Buckle up, since flight attendant Britney is up to no good, taking one lucky passenger for a trip to the mile-high club. Her nude, bejeweled catsuit was shocking for the times, yet only something she could pull off. Finally, Britney was blessed to ride on the back of a motorcycle with supermodel Tyson Beckford, before she backflips off superhero style. “Toxic” is by far her most iconic music video to date.
