Britney Spears has been in New York promoting her new memoir, but her dad won’t be reading it.
Jamie Spears, 71, says he’s heard it all before.
That’s according to TMZ, who reports speaking to a source close to the family.
It’s unclear what the Toxic singer has included in the book about the 13-year conservatorship overseen by her father and another man.
Jamie took control of his oldest daughter’s life and finances in 2008 after some highly publicized mental health struggles.

It began as a temporary arrangement, but became permanent by the end of the year.
In the years that followed, Britney, now 41, was deemed well enough to work in what the former estate conservator called a ‘hybrid business model’ in court papers, but not well enough to control her personal life.
The estate controlled who her friends were, where she could go and ‘logged her every purchase down to a drink from Starbucks,’ according to The New York Times.
Britney also told the court she had been forced to use birth control and take medication against her will.
During one court appearance, she told the judge, ‘Ma’am, my dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, and my management, who played huge roles in punishing me when I said ‘No’ [to going on tour] — Ma’am, they should be in jail.’
Jamie’s parenting shortfalls and struggle with alcohol have also been documented in his youngest daughter Jamie Lynn’s 2021 memoir, Things I Should Have Said, and that of his ex-wife, Lynne.
Jamie was recently hospitalized for a bad bacterial infection, but had been moved to an infectious disease outpatient facility, according to People.
Britney’s older brother Bryan, 46, has reportedly been supporting the Stronger singer as he navigates her divorce from estranged husband Sam Asghari, 29.

‘He’s been staying over and helping her alongside a therapist,’ according to Page Six who reported speaking to a source.
The former couple met each other in 2016 after working on her Slumber Party music video and became engaged after the conservatorship ended.
Shortly afterward the pair revealed they were expecting a baby, but suffered a miscarriage.

The two tied the knot in a star-studded wedding ceremony at the hitmaker’s California home last June.
The pair remained together for just over a year before they separated, and the Lioness actor filed for divorce this past August.
The end of their marriage reportedly will not be covered in detail in her memoir.
While speaking about the tell-all, the actor told TMZ that he was not nervous and had already read it.
‘I’m very proud of her,’ the former model said of his estranged spouse. ‘She put a lot of work to it.’
The Woman In Me and its accompanying audiobook are set to be released on October 24.
