Content warning: The article below discusses abortion and some readers may find it upsetting. Reader discretion is advised.<\/i><\/p>\n

For the first time since her 13-year conservatorship ended in 2021, Britney Spears is sharing the unadulterated account of her life and career in the upcoming highly-anticipated memoir The Woman In Me<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n

With excerpts of the memoir<\/a> trickling through to the public ahead of the release, never-before-shared information is coming to light, including the conditions of the pop supernova\u2019s involuntarily conservatorship arrangement,<\/a> the real reason she shaved her head<\/a> during her infamous 2007 \u201cmeltdown\u201d and accounts of an abortion she reportedly underwent while dating Justin Timberlake.<\/a><\/p>\n

Spears and Timberlake’s three-year relationship from 1999-2002 was the acme of the teenage dream. After meeting as teenage \u2018Mouseketeers\u2019 on the set of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, <\/em>they hooked back up some years later and began dating. But despite the media furore that surrounded the MM alumni, Spears details in her book how there was more to her and Timberlake’s relationship underneath the layers of patchwork double denim<\/a> than met the world’s eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, [the pregnancy] wasn\u2019t a tragedy,\u201d claimed Spears. \u201cI loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I\u2019d anticipated,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Justin definitely wasn\u2019t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren\u2019t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.\u201d Spears lamented that she was not sure if the abortion was \u201cthe right decision\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAnd yet Justin was so sure that he didn\u2019t want to be a father\u201d.<\/p>\n

Timberlake has not addressed Spears\u2019 allegations but with the book\u2019s impending release sure to delve deeper into their relationship, including Timberlake\u2019s claims that Spears was unfaithful to him, the former NSYNC member may be compelled to comment.<\/p>\n

As Page Six<\/em><\/a> has reported, Timberlake is allegedly \u201cconcerned\u201d about the contents of Spears\u2019 memoir.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very curious what she\u2019ll reveal from their relationship,\u201d a source told the publication. \u201cIt\u2019s eating at him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following Spears and Timberlake\u2019s breakup, the musician went on to welcome two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline, with her ex-husband and former backup dancer Kevin Federline. In 2022, Spears announced she had suffered a miscarriage after conceiving a \u201cmiracle baby\u201d with her now estranged husband Sam Asghari.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Woman In Me <\/em>by Britney Spears will be released worldwide on October 24. American actress Michelle Williams is set to narrate the audio version.<\/p>\n
