Britney Spears has actually been via a great deal, from her 13-year conservatorship to her stretched partnerships with separated member of the family. But among one of the most tough times in her life was her separation with Justin Timberlake, as disclosed in her brand-new memoir The Woman In Me.
The pop celebrity and *NSYNC band participant dated from 1999 to 2002, up until Timberlake presumably damaged points off with Spears through text. The time instantly after was dark for the “Toxic” vocalist, that creates in her narrative she “barely left the house” complying with the pair’s split.
“When Justin began making his first solo album, Justified, he started being very standoffish with me,” Spears remembered in her autobiographical publication, launched Tuesday (Oct. 24). “I think that was because he decided to use me as ammunition for his record, and so it made it awkward for him to be around me, staring at him with all that affection and devotion.”
“Ultimately, he ended our relationship by text message while I was on the set for the video for the ‘Overprotected’ remix by Darkchild,” she proceeded. “After seeing the message as I sat in my trailer between takes, I had to go back out and dance.”
Spears included that the separation left her “devastated.” “When I say, devastated, I mean, I could barely speak for months,” she composed. “Whenever anyone asked me about him, all I can do is cry. I don’t know if I was clinically in shock, but it felt that way.”
In her long-awaited narrative, the “Sometimes” musician went down plenty of bombshells regarding her top-level love with her previous Mickey Mouse Club castmate, past the anxiety she encountered following their split. While they were with each other, for example, she claimed she got an abortion due to the fact that Timberlake wasn’t prepared for fathership; she likewise confessed to having actually ripped off on her then-boyfriend when with choreographer Wade Robson after learning about the “Cry Me a River” vocalist’s alleged affairs with various other ladies.
Those battles didn’t quit Spears from caring Timberlake, however — also after they called it stops. While she was still regreting the connection, Timberlake brought her a mounted transcribed letter that she still maintains under her bed, the Princess of Pop shares in her publication. “And at the end it said — it makes me want to cry to think about it — ‘I can’t breathe without you.’ Those are the last words in it,” she creates.
“It almost felt like I was suffocating,” she includes, “like I couldn’t breathe after all that happened. The thing is, though, even after I saw him and read the letter, I didn’t come out of the trance. He did all that, he came there to see me and I still couldn’t talk — to him or to anybody.”
