On October 24, Britney Spears broke her 20-plus-year silence as her new tell-all hit bookshelves everywhere! But before the release of her new memoir, the 41-year-old singer released excerpts that took the internet by storm!
Taking back control over her life, Spears not only spoke on her controversial 13-year conservatorship but also on all of her rocky relationships, including that with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, 42. The two began dating in 1999 when she was 17 and he was 18. They then split in 2002 when JT dumped her via text message.

From the excerpts, Spears not only told fans that she cheated on JT with choreographer Wade Robson after learning that he allegedly cheated on her with a “very popular” woman, but she also claimed that before she got dumped by JT with a two-worded text message, she got pregnant with the singer’s baby and he told her to get an abortion.
Spears said, “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. 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.”

She added, “I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. 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.”
Once Spears’ audiobook released, which is narrated by actress Michelle Williams, she also opened up about her thoughts on JT “trying too hard to fit in” around Black celebrities. She recalled a time when she and JT were in New York City and ran into R&B singer Ginuwine, and he allegedly put on a “Blaccent.”

Since all of Britney Spears’ revelations, Justin Timberlake has caught much backlash with fans swarming his comment sections on his social media pages, and dragging him on Twitter. Now, his bandmate Lance Bass is coming to his defense.
Speaking with TMZ on Thursday (October 26), the 44-year-old singer said everyone needs to forgive Justin Timberlake. He said, “Look, everyone has their own opinion. I feel like the world is so full of hate right now and we need to practice a little forgiveness. Britney did. Let’s take a note from her. Everyone deserves to tell their story, she did, and I hope the fans can find some forgiveness.”
Bass, who also revealed that he bought Spears’ memoir and plans to read it, also joked about copying her and getting Michelle Williams to narrate his own tell-all should he ever decide to release one.
Lance Bass’ wishes for fans to forgive Justin Timberlake surface amid reports that JT is “not at all happy,” and has not reached out to Spears since the release of her memoir.
