Did Britney even write 'The Woman in Me'

[JessFan89]

I read her book when it was released, but have started it again but this time listening to it on audio book on Spotify.

It got me thinking, since she never read the whole book could somebody else have written the book?

Why didn't she read the the whole book?

She did no promotion.

No celebrity writes their books, its a ghost writer, and in "the woman in me" the idendity was actually disclosed before the release  and it's probably on wikipedia or smt.

Honestly, it feels like she doesn’t want to spill everything at once… or maybe she just couldn’t care less about letting the world know how crappy her life was. It’s her choice and hers alone, so just be grateful. We don’t deserve anything, especially with all the idiots lurking around spreading fake crap about her.

Britney said on a video on IG that she went through a lot of therapy to be able to release the book. Whether that means putting her ideas into perspective so that someone else can put them down on paper, I don't know. The ghostwriter was Sam Lansky.

The only thing that didn’t sit right with me was the ghostwriter (or?) having connections with Lou. That was weird.

It’s called a ghost writer. They help out with all the contents of the book so it flows and makes sense. Every celebrity book has one. So no, Britney didn’t write it herself. This is old news 😂

[HisNameisChase]

I believe she recorded voice memos and someone transcribed them and formatted into a book

wait what????????

Yes, the use of ghostwriters is a common practice among celebrities.For memoirs that address traumatic subjects, like in Britney's case, it can be emotionally challenging for the celebrity to relive these experiences while writing. A ghostwriter can help create distance between the celebrity and their memories, thereby easing the book creation process, that's all. Some passages in the book are so intimate that only Britney knew about them. There was a significant amount of confessional work involved. Britney also writes a lot, and her writings must have certainly served as a foundation beforehand.

That woman seemed to be everywhere. Hollywood is a nest of snakes.

Lansky's life was a bit of a rich mess. He was involved with dr**s since he was a teenager, came from a relatively wealthy family. His father worked as an executive director of a Rockefeller Center-based nonprofit foundation in Manhattan. Sam worked his way up the social ladder being an es***t for older men, then he went from being this lost kid with too much money in NYC to a celebrity writer in LA in a matter of years. On his Broken People book, he mentions that LA is "a place where anyone could be their best self for a price" so it doesn't surprise me that he is linked to Lou to some extent. She has the nose for money and desperation.

He wrote his own memoir called The Gilded Razor. It's on my reading list, out of curiosity.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I knew there was something weird about him, but I couldn’t remember precisely what it was.

I'm sure there's more to be revealed in his book, but I don't know if he'll reveal any names, because it's all related to his adolescence and dr*g abuse. He ended up in a psychiatric ward in New Orleans at some point in his life... Looking back on his trajectory, I'm not sure if he was the perfect choice to be her ghostwriter or simply the worst. There are too many coincidences in that. 

As for his connection with Lou, all I've been able to find out is that he somehow knew Dina Lapolt, but she was also behind the management of many artists and, at that time, he probably went from small freelance articles to writing about big stars.

Come to think of it, Dina acted as an attorney for Tupac's estate and oversaw the release of his posthumous albums and books, if not all of it, the majority of. As she is a music lawyer, she certainly know who to choose for what. Maybe the connection with Lou and the book comes from things like these.

I mean this with no shade but I don’t think Britney had involvement in the book. There’s parts of it that aren’t true and everything else is taken directly from random articles or stan twitter. I’ve also read some of the ghostwriters old articles and some of his personal biases are definitely included

The writer said the book was rewritten several times because it didn’t sound like Britney enough which I also found strange. I know some celebrities have someone else write it with their approval but it doesn't feel like it actually came from her input or 'her words' as some describe it

I don’t think Lansky was a good choice and don’t like that a biopic will be made using it. Even one of her unauthorized biographies from years ago would be more accurate and better for it honestly (although the whole thing feels like a cash grab from her team)

[PolySpears]

She didn't write it. Someone else wrote it for her.

 

[Yasux34]

nooo her neighbors Dog!!!!

 

 Yes she wrote it with help . 

[Dark Willow]

People already explained about the ghost writers, and yes... that's normal for celebrities.

However... she wasn't involved in anything else related to the book (old picture for the cover, no promotion,  other person doing the audio).

Not to mention the weird way she talked about the book on her IG.

I still think Britney doesn't know everything about her own book. But yeah... she wrote some stories for the ghost writers worked with. Some pages had almost the exact lines from some of her instagram rants, she made their job easy lmfao.

I was with her in Mexico while she was writing it, and I can confirm she wrote every word.

I almost asked if you saw Paul, then I remembered he can't leave the USA because of his cute past of crimes
