She was the princess of pop in the 90's and early 00's, before her life took a turn. You've seen the paparazzi photos of her shaving her head and attacking a car with an umbrella, the shots of her driving erratically with her baby on her lap.

In the past few years we've seen the #FreeBritney movement, begging for her release from a conservatorship run by her father. And lately, we see videos of her dancing in her home, some people label her unhinged, others say it's a cry for help.

Today, Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, drops worldwide and in this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the enigma that is Britney Spears and why her story is one so many of us are desperate to know the truth behind the tabloids.
