So far, it’s unclear which famous people have contacted the publisher about the book.

However, Simon & Schuster is reportedly in talks with its legal team about how to proceed with production of the book.

“Britney is brutally honest in the book – there are a lot of nervous A-listers out there,” a source claimed. “Strongly worded legal letters have been sent to the publishers by people who know Britney and are afraid of what she has written.”

It’s unclear whether the people who wrote letters to the publisher confirmed that they’re being mentioned in the book, or whether they took that step proactively.

Either way, development has slowed the autobiography’s momentum.

“Ryan is openly fascinated by the Britney saga and of course he is one of the few filmmakers in Hollywood, perhaps the only one really, to have a professional relationship with Britney,” said a source.

‘He knows her, he knows her world and he knows why the story of her conservatory appealed to so many people.

“But Ryan hates being accused of exploiting victims and tragedies on his shows, so this is going to be an incredibly delicate case, and not something he would even consider going forward without Britney’s full co-signing.”
