Justin Timberlake has a string of famous exes, but none compare to Britney Spears, who has dropped a bombshell; he told her to get an abortion. The singers, who met as members of The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992, would date for several years, beginning in 1999 until they broke up in 2002. In her upcoming autobiography, The Woman In Me, the Hold It Against Me songstress reveals Timberlake ordered her to get an abortion after she fell pregnant.
According to Reuters, Britney said the pregnancy was a surprise but wanted to keep the child. However, Justin was not as accommodating, saying he didn’t want to be a father. Spears loved Timberlake and envisioned having a family with him one day, something we know never happened.
Spears would eventually have two sons with Kevin Federline, her second husband. Timberlake would later have two sons with wife, Jessica Biel. Britney’s tell-all is part of her comeback, but she is still far from returning to her old self, especially after she burnished what she dubbed ‘fake knives’ on Instagram.
Timberlake, meanwhile, had no right to order Britney to have the abortion. She loved him to the point of wanting to please him and had their future planned out. This might explain why their relationship ended in March 2002, and he went on to date Spice Girl Emma Bunton. This was before he went on to date Cameron Diaz and later married Jessica Biel.
Justin Timberlake’s reps did not respond to Reuter’s request for comment.
