Britney Spears Admits to Cheating on Justin Timberlake in Memoir
Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears
Britney Spears' upcoming memoir is chock full of bombshell confessions, many of which are apparently related to her highly publicized relationship with Justin Timberlake. The most recent admission to come to light claims she cheated on the "Mirrors" singer, something she only recently accused him of–but she's not letting anyone hold it against her.
Spears, now 41, reportedly detailed her past infidelity with dancer and choreographer Wade Robson in her new memoir, The Woman in Me, which hits shelves next Tuesday, Oct. 24, according to a source familiar with the content of the book.
The insider told Us Weekly that in the book, Spears recalled dancing and making out with Robson, also 41, at a Spanish bar while she was dating Timberlake, 42. The "Womanizer" songstress then said that she and Timberlake "agreed to move past" the transgression considering all the years that Spears remained "loyal to Justin" and "only had eyes for him."
The report comes just days after another source told TMZ that Spears alleged Timberlake was also unfaithful during their relationship, having an affair with another unnamed celebrity. Infidelity wasn't the only thing she accused the NSYNC member of during their time together. She also revealed that she got pregnant while the two were together, but Timberlake thought they were "too young" to start a family, so the Princess of Pop had an abortion.
Timberlake has not yet responded to the accusations.
The former A-list couple began dating in 1999 when the "Toxic" songstress was 17 and Timberlake was 18. They remained together for three years until their 2002 split. That same year, Timberlake released his hit "Cry Me A River," which many speculated to be about Spears' infidelity due to the lookalike model featured in the music video. Shortly after its release, Spears told Rolling Stone that Timberlake warned her he was releasing a "controversial" video.
"He got what he wanted. I think it looks like such a desperate attempt, personally," she told the outlet at the time, noting, "But that was a great way to sell the record. He’s smart."
In response, Spears released her hit "Everytime" a year later. She then released the music video in 2004, which many now believe to be about the emotional pain she suffered after terminating the pregnancy rather than a breakup ballad.
