Brad Pitt has been criticised for reported plans to adapt Britney Spears‘ new memoir for the big screen.Spears released her book, The Woman In Me, last month, which candidly discussed her career, relationships, 13-year conservatorship and personal experiences.

It also contains a number of noteworthy revelations about her personal life, including that she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake.

The book sold over one million copies in its first week on the shelves.According to reports by PageSix, Pitt is among the high-profile celebrities bidding for a chance to adapt Spears’s story into a film.

Reece Witherspoon was also reportedly interested in the project, according to sources. Actor Margot Robbie has since denied she was interested in the project.However, Pitt’s apparent bid to adapt the book with his company, Plan B Entertainment, has come under fire online, with some suggesting it would be hypocritical.
