In a newly released excerpt from Britney's book which has been translated from Italian on TikTok, she discusses her grandmother, who was forced into a mental health facility and onto lithium by her grandfather against her will.

In the excerpt, Britney explains that her middle name, Jean, comes from her grandmother Emma Jean Spears.

"Her husband — my grandfather, June Spears, Sr. — was a bully," she writes. "One of my grandmother's children died three days after birth. Grandpa sent grandma to Southeast Louisiana Hospital, an apparently horrible mental institution in Mandeville, where they gave her lithium. In 1966, when my grandmother was 31 years old, she shot herself to death with a shotgun at her young son's grave, eight years after his death."

After the excerpt started trending on TikTok, many were amazed by the similarities the story seemed to have to Britney's own. Britney was also forced into a mental institution against her will by her father, who was June's son, and she was also forced to take lithium.
