The ‘princess of pop’, Britney Spears (41), has published her autobiography, titled The Woman in Me, a book in which she reviews the most traumatic moments of her life, from her beginnings in the music industry, her father’s guardianship and her relationship with Justin Timberlake (42).
Spears had a romantic relationship with the singer of the band NSYNC between 1999 and 2002. The star couple of the 2000s broke up after having been involved in several controversies, from joint performances to their love problems. After the publication of the book, Timberlake has been forced to deactivate the comments on his Instagram profile due to the barrage of criticism received from Britney’s fans. According to Page Six, he made the decision because of the “hateful and disgusting things people were saying.”
The singer reflects throughout several chapters on her relationship with the NSYNC vocalist. Spears has revealed that she knew that Timberlake was unfaithful to her: “During our relationship I knew that Justin had cheated on me at least twice,” although she did not react negatively because she was very in love with her. Spears knew that Timberlake had an affair with one of the members of the group All Saints, although she does not want to reveal her identity as she is a celebrity who “now has children”, and she does not want to damage her image.
Britney has confessed that she was also unfaithful when she had an affair with dancer Wade Robson (41), choreographer of the band NSYNC. Even so, the pop superstar explains that the trigger for her breakup was her when she became pregnant and had to have an abortion because, as she told People, he considered “that they were not ready to have a child.”
“I loved Justin very much. I always hoped that one day we would have a family together. But it was much sooner than I had anticipated,” she says in the book, which went on sale on Tuesday, October 24. “It was a surprise, but it wasn’t a tragedy for me,” she explains. “But Justin was definitely not happy about the pregnancy. He said that we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were too young. So he convinced me. “so that I wouldn’t have it. I had never imagined that I would have an abortion, but given the circumstances, that’s what we did… If I had decided on my own, I wouldn’t have done it.”
Spears has detailed what happened during the procedure. “We didn’t tell anyone and I did it at home, with Justin there. I took a little pill. The pain was incredible. I sat on the floor, holding on to the toilet. He slept with me. I cried until it was over. It’s been over. 20 years and I still remember the pain,” he writes.
A few pages later, the ‘princess of pop’ explains that Timberlake left her during the filming of the video for Overprotected: The Darkchild Remix. He broke up with her over an SMS message, which left her “devastated”. “She couldn’t even talk. I don’t know if she was clinically in shock, but I felt that way,” she mentions.
Britney has explained how Madonna supported her after the breakup: “She gave me her self-confidence, helping me see many things with new eyes,” she writes. “At that moment I needed guidance. I was confused. He even did a red rope ceremony with me to initiate me into the spiritual wisdom of Kabbalah, and gave me a trunk full of Zohar books to pray. He told me that I should spend time praying. my soul, and I tried to do it. She embodied the strength that I needed to see.
Timberlake has not yet spoken publicly about Britney Spears’ autobiography, which reached 400,000 copies sold on the day of its release, according to Infobae. A source close to the Daily Mail points out that “Justin is not at all happy with what has come out in this book.” He also states that he “hasn’t contacted Britney at all about any of this, and he’s not going to because there’s nothing he can tell her.”
The vocalist has been forced to deactivate comments on his social networks due to the amount of criticism received following the publication of The Woman in Me. After the commotion caused, Spears also communicated through her Instagram that “the purpose of the book was not at all to offend anyone.” “I hope I can enlighten people who feel partly alone in most cases or hurt or misunderstood!” She adds.
