Britney Spears‘ memoir, The Woman in Me, will be published in less than two weeks, and there is one Hollywood star who might be stressing out about the contents in the book: Justin Timberlake. The former couple, who dated from 1999-2002 at the height of their pop-star fame, have a notable history when it comes to their well-publicized split.
A source toldUs Weekly that “Justin’s not going to be happy” about the book because it “goes after him hard.” And while a second insider explained that “it’s not Britney’s intention to skewer anyone,” she is trying “to relay the facts from her perspective.” The memoir may finally give her side to story after Timberlake tried to blame her alleged affair with choreographer Wade Robson as the reason for their breakup. Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” music video used very specific imagery to fuel the rumors.
The former ‘NSYNC band member also publicly discussed taking Spears’ virginity on a radio show, which was the ultimate betrayal since that was nobody’s business. Fans have rehashed their relationship quite a bit over the last few years after the 2021 documentary, Framing Britney Spears, provided a fresh perspective on the situation. He issued an apology on Instagram after the public outcry, writing, “I’ve seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond. I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right. … The industry is flawed. It sets men, especially white men, up for success. It’s designed this way.”
This time, it’s about Spears taking control of the narrative that escaped her over two decades ago. The 41-year-old singer is reportedly “excited but nervous” about this chapter in her life, but she’s ready to share her truth — even if it makes Timberlake a bit uncomfortable.
