Britney Spears continues to drop never-before-heard bombshells about her relationship with Justin Timberlake ahead of her new memoir, The Woman in Me. The much-anticipated bio just hit bookshelves today, Oct. 24th, and the singer has been teasing sections of the book for days. This time, Britney admits that she did indeed cheat on the former NSYNC band member with back-up dancer Wade Robson, but more shockingly, she also revealed to fans that the infidelity wasn’t one-sided: according to the book, Timberlake cheated on her as well!
The couple, famous for THAT matching Canadian tuxedo getup, broke up over 20 years ago, but are back in the spotlight with the release of Spears’ new memoir, and we’re so excited to finally hear her side of the story. Find out more details about the pair’s infidelity below.
Justin Timberlake Cheated Too
The "Bye Bye Bye" singer was quick to shade Britney with his single, “Cry Me A River” and accompanying music video, which dropped less than a year after they broke up, but the Princess of Pop reveals that she wasn’t the only one that cheated. Spears alleges that Timberlake cheated on her as well, though she doesn’t name the other woman in her memoir, claiming the woman is "married with children" now, and she doesn’t want to embarrass her.
However, fans were quick to connect the dots, and believe Justin’s mistress was All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, who is now married and has two children. Justin and Nicole were seen ducking down in a car to avoid paparazzi photos on their way to Justin’s hotel room in 2000.
Britney Spears Confirms She Cheated
When the “Sexy Back” singer released his hit song “Cry Me A River” in 2002, Justin made it clear that Britney’s infidelity was the reason for their breakup. “I already know, I found out from him / Now there's just no chance / For you and me / There'll never be,” Timberlake crooned. And it turns out he was telling the truth.
“We were out one night,” Britney says in a recently revealed excerpt from The Woman in Me about Wade Robson. “We danced and danced. I made out with him that night.” However, she insisted that this was an “exception” and that she was “loyal to Justin” and “only had eyes for him,” so they agreed to “move past it.”
Britney Spears’ Bombshells
The alleged infidelities between Justin Timberlake and herself aren’t the only new revelations from Britney's excerpts of The Woman in Me. Just last week, she revealed that Justin got her pregnant and forced her to have an abortion while they were together. “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy,” she recalls. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.”
Our hearts break for Britney as she adds, “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
What else will Britney reveal in her memoir, The Woman in Me? The wait is finally over! The Woman in Me is out now, and we can't wait to read it.
