She will not tolerate it, nor should she.»Rosengart's letter adds, «Having endured a 13-year conservatorship that stripped her of civil rights and fundamental liberties, Britney will no longer be bullied by her father or anyone else.»«Publicly airing false or fantastical grievances is wrong, especially when designed to sell books.

It is also potentially unlawful and defamatory,» the letter continues. «You recently reportedly stated that the book was 'not about her.' She takes you at your word and we, therefore, demand that you cease and desist from referencing Britney derogatorily during your promotional campaign.
