Britney Spears’ upcoming memoir has been put on hold over concerns from some A-listers who know her, according to a report by The US Sun. The publishers, Simon & Schuster, allegedly received strongly worded legal letters expressing worry about the singer’s forthcoming book. An inside source revealed that Britney’s honest revelations in the memoir have left many A-listers feeling nervous. The source claimed that not only is there “no movement” on the book at the moment, but there are also new concerns over when it will eventually be able to come out.
While the report did not disclose the identities of the concerned individuals, it is worth noting that Britney Spears has been involved in high-profile relationships, including with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline. Her wedding to Sam Asghari also attracted numerous A-list attendees, such as Madonna, Paris Hilton, and Selena Gomez. Representatives for Simon & Schuster and Britney Spears have not yet responded to requests for comment from Page Six.
