In her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, pop star Britney Spears reveals intimate details about her past relationship with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Spears accuses Timberlake of cheating on her during their relationship, which lasted from the late ’90s to the early 2000s. While she doesn’t name the other woman involved, reports suggest it was another celebrity. The memoir also shares the deeply personal story of Spears getting an abortion after becoming pregnant with Timberlake. According to passages from the book, Timberlake was not pleased with the pregnancy, claiming they were too young and not ready for a baby.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake first met as child stars working together on The Mickey Mouse Club in the early ’90s. Their romantic relationship eventually came to an end in 2002. That same year, Timberlake released his hit song “Cry Me a River,” widely believed to be inspired by their breakup, along with a music video featuring a Spears look-alike. Spears’ memoir sheds new light on their tumultuous past and offers insights into their split.
In February 2021, Timberlake issued a public apology to Spears and Janet Jackson, acknowledging his past mistakes and expressing remorse for contributing to the problem. He admitted to falling short in his actions and benefiting from a system that condones misogyny and racism. Timberlake married actress Jessica Biel in 2012 and emphasized his desire to be part of a larger conversation about these issues.
The Woman in Me is scheduled for release on October 24th and promises a deep dive into Britney Spears’ personal and professional life. This highly anticipated memoir offers a candid perspective on her relationship with Justin Timberlake and reveals her personal struggles throughout the years.
