In the memoir, the singer launches a scathing attack on her ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake.

    In ‘The Woman In Me’, Britney Spears revealed some shocking confessions about her relationship with Justin Timberlake. One of them is about aborting their child at the insistence of Justin, as he did not want to be a father. She also wrote about how he spun a negative narrative around her with the song ‘Cry Me A River’. Recently, he performed the song at a Las Vegas concert, where he gave a disclaimer after receiving flak from people after the memoir. Britney has clapped back at the singer in her latest Instagram post.

    Then, Britney referred to the charity game she played with Justin Timberlake in 2001 for NSYNC. She added, “Psss I never mentioned how I beat him in basketball 🏀 and he would cry… no disrespect 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼!!!”

The excerpt read, “The truth: I was comatose in Louisiana, and he was happily running around Hollywood. … The thought of my betraying him gave [his] album more angst, gave it a purpose: shit-talking an unfaithful woman … Everyone felt very sorry for him. And it shamed me.”
