A clip of Britney Spears talking about his guardianship for the first time in a television interview was discovered eight years later.

When the pop princess appeared on Britain’s “The Jonathan Ross Show” in 2016 to promote her album “Glory,” she opened up about the restrictive legal framework while explaining how common it was hindered his creative process.

However, Spears’ team did not allow her to publicly discuss her conservatorship at the time, so her comments during the taping were cut from the final episode.

But the unpublished images finally broadcast on Saturday during an ITV special look back at memorable moments from the long-running talk show.

On “Special Guest,” host Jonathan Ross asked Spears, “The new album, you’re more involved musically, I understand, than the previous ones?” So you have taken control. Do you have more control over your music than before? Why did it take you so long? Why did you wait until now to do it?

The “Toxic” singer, then 34, hesitantly responded, “Well, uh, there’s a lot of reasons, but I won’t go into the whole story. »

Ross interrupted Spears to remind her that viewers knew “a lot” about her story, which included public ventilation in 2007, so she didn’t have to “rewatch” anything she didn’t feel comfortable with.

Looking more relaxed, the Grammy winner explained: “Since the conservatorship…I felt like a lot of things were planned for me and, you know, I was being told what to do. And I was just like, for this (album), I want to make it my baby, and I want to make it myself, and I was very strategic about how I did it, and, uh, yeah, that’s why it means so much to me.

The TV presenter then asked Spears if she was “happy” and in a “good place”, to which she smiled and replied: “Yes, sir.”

Fans have been yearning to see the ‘Jonathan Ross Show’ music video since they were members of the studio audience revealed on social networks at the time the “Gimme More” singer, now 42, made a rare comment about her conservatorship while filming the session.

Spears herself reflected on the deleted TV segment in her 2023 memoir, “The woman in me.”

“I even mentioned conservatorship on a talk show in 2016, but somehow that part of the interview didn’t make it,” she wrote. “Eh. How interesting.

The “Crossroads” star didn’t publicly mention her conservatorship again until 2021, when she described his situation as “abusive” in a public hearing, stating that her estranged father, Jamie Spears, who was in charge of her personal and financial affairs for 13 years, I had too much control.

A Los Angeles judge suspended Jamie as conservator of his daughter three months later, before end guardianship quite.

ITV did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on its decision to broadcast the previously unseen footage.
