Fans are finding it hard to believe that all of the drama between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake ended with a single text message. In an excerpt from “The Woman In Me” released on Thursday morning by the New York Times, Britney was so “devastated” by the end of the relationship that she considered quitting the music industry entirely.
“I was comatose in Louisiana and he was happily running around Hollywood,” she wrote in her memoir, calling out the media for portraying her as a “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy” after he implied that his “Cry Me A River” music video was about their relationship.

Sources say that she only did it because he had cheated on her first.
“We were out one night and we went to a Spanish bar. We danced and danced. I made out with him that night,” she reportedly wrote in her memoir, adding that she had been faithful to Justin “with that one exception.” She claims that she told the boy bander about the transgression at the time it occurred and they were able to move past it.

Britney Spears Opens Up About Her Unplanned Pregnancy In 'The Woman In Me'
One of the most shocking revelations that has been released about Britney's memoir so far is the allegation that she was pregnant while the two were together. In an excerpt of “The Woman In Me,” released by People magazine on Tuesday, the “Toxic” singer opened up about how Justin "wasn't happy about the pregnancy" and she made the "agonizing" decision to terminate.
“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.”
Britney's memoir, "The Woman In Me," is scheduled for release on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
