Britney Spears’ conservatorship drama ‘could be turned into a Ryan Murphy docuseries’

Britney Spears’ conservatory drama could be turned into a telling docuseries, according to a new report.

The singer, 41, was placed under the controversial court order in 2008 – with her father Jamie, 32, exercising sway over her finances and career decisions – before it was terminated in November 2021 after 13 years.

And now American Horror Story producer Ryan Murphy, 57, is thought to want the pop star to tell her own story on the small screen, following the imminent release of her bombshell memoir.

Her conservatorship has been scrutinized by the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and the BBC, though the Toxic hitmaker hasn’t been involved in any of the projects.

Ryan has brought in Monica Lewinsky as co-producer of Impeachment: American Crime Story, which dramatized her 1998 scandal with Bill Clinton.

A source told The American sun: ‘Ryan is openly fascinated with the Britney saga and of course he is one of the few filmmakers in Hollywood, perhaps the only one, really, with a professional relationship with Britney.

‘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.”

The insider went on to claim that he has not yet contacted the superstar and that he is “not going to force Britney into something she’s not comfortable with”.

Ryan previously teamed up with the former American X Factor judge on a Britney-themed episode of Glee in 2010, on which she appeared.

MailOnline has reached out to Ryan and Britney’s representatives for comment.

Last July, it was reported that Britney had finally completed the long-awaited book that delves deeply into her life, family, and her conservatory years.

The announcement that her memoir was ready was cause for celebration among fans. However, an immense paper shortage causes a major delay in publishing the volume, TMZ reported.

Sources told the publication that there is no estimated time when the paper shortage will be fixed, leading to an abrupt halt in rolling out a release date.

Britney and her team originally wanted the memoir to be available in January 2023.

Sources confirmed to TMZ that Britney’s revealing memoir will be published under Simon & Schuster, one of the largest US publishers.

The Baby One More Time singer signed a book deal earlier that year in February and received a $15 million advance.

In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, the star expressed her excitement at the chance to have her version of the story shared, according to USA today.

“Well, I’m currently writing a book and it’s actually healing and therapeutic… it’s also hard to bring up past events in my life,” the Toxic hitmaker wrote.

“I have never been able to express myself openly!!! I can only imagine that I sound childish, but I was extremely young when those events happened,” Britney concluded.

The Gimme More singer began putting pen to paper after her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, published her own memoir, Things I Should Have Said.

Britney became angry about the content and claims in the book. According to Page sixthe singer’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, wrote a cease and desist letter shortly after the memoirs became available to the public.

“While Britney has not read your book and does not plan to read it, she and millions of her fans were shocked to see how you exploited her for monetary gain,” he said in a statement.

At the end of the letter, the lawyer added, “She won’t tolerate it, and she shouldn’t.”
