‘Britney’s ready to tell her truth’

Britney Spears is lining up a Meghan and Harry-style interview with Oprah Winfrey so she can finally tell the world “her truth” about her family dramas, new can reveal.

Sources claim the 40-year-old superstar has “reached boiling point” following months of sniping from her family on social media, plus the recent interview in which her ex-husband Kevin Federline questioned her parenting.

“Britney wants the world to know her truth,” a source said. “She is livid with her father and ready to fire back at Kevin. The pressure cooker of the past few months since the conservatorship ending has fired her up.

“Working on her memoir has also triggered a desire to be more forthright. Oprah has secretly reached out to Britney through her lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, with an open offer.”

In an interview with journalist Daphne Barak, Kevin, who Britney was married to from 2004 to 2007, claimed that the couple’s children Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, haven’t seen their mother in “months” and decided not to go to her wedding to Sam Asghari earlier this summer.

However, even before Kevin’s chat had aired, our sources revealed that Britney’s legal team had been in secret talks with US chat queen Oprah about an interview or TV special after the 13-year-conservatorship – the legal arrangement under which her dad Jamie and others controlled her life and finances – ended.
