Britney Spears Calls Her Life Worse Than a Jail Sentence

Britney Spears says that since her breakdown, her life has been worse than a jail sentence – but that she's slowly healing one day at a time.

"I have really good days, and then I have bad days," the singer, 26, admits in a new fly-on-the wall, 90-minute documentary, Britney: For The Record, to air in the U.S. Nov. 30 on MTV and in the U.K. Dec. 1 on Sky1.

Struggling to gain control of her life again after her public meltdown earlier this year, she says candidly: "Even when you go to jail, y'know, there's the time when you're gonna get out. But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like [the Bill Murray movie] Groundhog Day."

She adds, "I'm having to pay for it for a really long time."

Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation in January, which resulted in her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, being granted sole custody of their sons, Preston and Jayden. Her father, Jamie Spears, also gained legal control over her affairs.


Not Being Heard
"If I wasn't under the restraints that I'm under right now, I'd feel so liberated," she says in the film, which follows the singer as she records and promotes her new album Circus. "When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear me, but they're really not listening."

A camera crew followed the singer for three months as she moved to pull her life back on track. "I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn't being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in," Spears said. "This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I've been through and where I'm headed."

Overall, she says, "I think I've learned my lesson now, and enough is enough."

Good for her!!!

Re: Britney Spears Calls Her Life Worse Than a Jail Sentence

I feel bad for her...she knows no other life. Despite her millions and millions and all her fame, she just wants some peace. I hope she is truly getting it together as a person, I don't care if she performs or whatever. Just as a person. She still looks very unwell in the eyes so i am not surprised she is still unhappy.

Re: Britney Spears Calls Her Life Worse Than a Jail Sentence

All she should do is make music & music videos. No documentaries, no magazine articles.. the girl has no sympathy for me. She invites drama. She has enough money to last a few lifetimes, she shouldn't have to wh0re herself and her life out to the media anymore.
