Britney Spears Says Writing Memoir ‘The Woman In Me’ Was ‘So Hard’

Pop star Britney Spears is opening up on the difficult process of writing her memoir, "The Woman In Me."

Although the tell-all book is not scheduled for release until Tuesday, October 24, excerpts of the book have been published online over the past few days, including a bombshell revelation that Britney actually became pregnant when she dated Justin Timberlake between 1999 to 2002.

On Wednesday night, the "Toxic" singer took to Instagram to share a photo of a woman with a key locked in her throat. She let her followers know in the caption that it's been "hard" to read the headlines about her while admitting that the process of writing the book was also "so hard." However, she concluded that "nothing really matters at this point," admitting that the past is the past and she is looking forward to a life with her "killer dog," Snow.

In the caption of this Instagram post, Britney wrote, "Been so busy lately and there are so many hard things to read in the news about my book !!! Writing the book was so hard 😞 !!! Then I woke up this morning and said it’s all relative nothing really matters at this point 🤷🏼‍♀️ !!! As long as Snow has her Noonie the world is a better place  🌷🌷🌷!!! Psss swipe to see the killer dog 🐶 !!! #TheWomanInMe."

Comments on this Instagram post, like many of her recent posts, were disabled.

Even though "The Woman In Me" won't be officially released until next Tuesday, it is already flying off virtual shelves. Although she deleted a promotional video for her memoir from her Instagram page, it is still available to see on X, formerly known as Twitter, like most of her promotional videos for her memoir.

"1 week until my book #TheWomanInMe hits shelves 📚 !!! Thank you all for making it #1 on Amazon already !!!" she wrote in the caption while tagging her publisher, Gallery Books, which is an imprint of the publishing giant Simon and Schuster.

Many fans can’t help but wonder what the biggest bombshell will come out of Britney’s memoir, “The Woman In Me.” Many fans did not expect Britney to admit that she was pregnant or her confession that she still isn't sure that terminating the pregnancy was "the right decision."

In an excerpt of “The Woman In Me,” released by People magazine, Britney opened up on the "agonizing" decision of what to do with her child after she became pregnant. “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she wrote in her memoir. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”

“I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father,” she continued, adding, “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”

A longtime family friend told The Sun that the "Mirrors" singer is a different person now than who he was when he dated Britney over two decades ago. "Justin owns who he was when he and Britney were together, even though his personality, career, lifestyle, and personal priorities are radically different now, twenty years later," the insider said. “This book is a nightmare for him because of how it throws the whole family into chaos."

“The timing stings just as much as the revelation itself," they continued. “Justin had a big fall planned with new music on deck, more work with his old friends in NSYNC, and of course, the next installment of the Trolls franchise, which has been a huge moneymaker for Justin over the last several years.”

Britney Spears' tell-all memoir "The Woman In Me" is scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
