Britney Spears has said that whilst she was under the control of her father, Jaime, she was made to eat canned chicken and vegetables for two years and had to beg a chef for a burger.

The claims came in her memoir, titled ‘The Woman In Me’, with the ‘Toxic’ singer alleging that he controlled all of her diet during the 13-year conservatorship he held from 2008 as he felt the star looked fat.

It left her begging their butler for ‘real food’, such as an ice cream or hamburger, but her pleas were routinely denied by her 71-year-old father. She noted that she felt like her body wasn’t hers to control anymore because she couldn’t even eat what she wanted.

“So for two years, I ate almost nothing but chicken and canned vegetables,” Spears writes. “Two years is a long time to not be able to eat what you want, especially when it’s your body and your work and your soul making the money that everyone’s living off of.”

“Two years of asking for french fries and being told no,” she added. “I found it so degrading.”

Jamie Spears’ representative denied a request by Page Six to comment.

Spears’ body used as a cash cow

The 41-year-old musician believes that the extent of control related to her talent, that was generating her a huge amount of wealth. In 2023 she has a net-worth of approximately $60m and felt that she was being used to make her family money.

“My body was strong enough to carry two children and agile enough to execute every choreographed move perfectly onstage,” she adds. “And now here I was, having every calorie recorded so people could continue to get rich off my body.”

“Two years is a long time to not be able to eat what you want,” Spears continued. “Especially when it’s your body and your work and your soul making the money that everyone’s living off of.”
