Britney Spears will candidly discuss her troubled year for the first time in a new MTV documentary.
The 90-minute film, tentatively titled ‘For the Record’, sees the
26-year-old star discuss her public meltdown ahead of the release of her new
album ‘Circus’.
Britney said: “So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there's
a lot that people don't know about me that I want them to know.
“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. This is an opportunity to set
the record straight and talk about what I've been through and where I'm
headed.”
In a clip from the documentary, set to air on MTV in America at 10pm on
November 30 – two days before the release of ‘Circus’ – Britney is seen
pondering her past.
She says: “I sit there and I'll look back and I'm like, ‘I'm a smart person.
What the hell was I thinking?’ I've been through a lot in the past two or
three years, and there's a lot that people don't know.
“Sometimes I think I get kind of lonely because you don't open the gate up
that much, you know I mean? You're guarded. You have to be that way, so I'm
kind of stuck in this place and it's like, ‘How do you deal?’ And you just
cope, and that's what I do. I just cope with it, every day.”
