Britney Spears drops 20+ minutes of tell-all account of guardianship

Britney Spears' story is worth a lot of money, but she's giving up a payday to sit down and tell her truth...and instead, she does an impromptu 20-minute YouTube dump.< /p>

The singer posted a 22-minute clip to the video platform Sunday out of nowhere, and if you watch it, you'll see she's tearing up about everything...with a particular focus on how exactly whose guardianship began and which she remembers for those many years.

BS begins by saying she has a lot on her mind, and noting that although she's been offered lucrative deals for exclusive interviews -- like with Oprah, for example -- she says she finds this "irrelevant" notion and apparently thinks selling your story like that is corny.

Instead, she tells it directly to people... diving into how things started when she was going around in circles in the mid-2000s. She says when the conservatorship started, she didn't understand why... but suddenly his dad was running the show and controlling really well. Britney claims he told her, "I'm Britney Spears and it's up to me."

She also says that a woman pitched the idea to Jamie and her mom helped him see it through. Britney calls it "pure violence" and recounts being held on a stretcher as paparazzi and helicopters swarmed her pad the day she was taken into psychiatric detention.

Speaking of paps, Britney says this of her infamous episode... "The extent of my madness was playing paparazzi chase, which to this day is still one of the most fun things I I was never meant to be famous." She says she doesn't know what was so harmful about it.
