Justin Timberlake reportedly appeared to take a shot at his ex-Britney Spears when he told an audience he would be apologizing to &#8220;absolutely f***ing nobody&#8221; — after Spears appeared to issue a mea-culpa to Timberlake days earlier.
During the 43-year-old singer&#8217;s one-night-only show in New York, just before performing his hit song &#8220;Cry Me A River&#8221; (a breakup song about Spears) Timberlake reportedly said,  &#8220;I&#8217;d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f***ing nobody,&#8221; <a href="https://people.com/justin-timberlake-apologizes-to-absolutely-fing-nobody-before-performing-cry-me-a-river-at-concert-8557310?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=65bbb979e0892a0001843660">People magazine</a> reported.
The comments came after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-new-memoir-sold-1-1-million-copies-in-first-week-grateful-to-my-fans">Spears</a> appeared to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-appears-to-apologize-to-justin-timberlake-for-the-things-i-wrote-about-in-tell-all-book">apologize</a> to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake">Timberlake</a> &#8220;for the things&#8221; she wrote about in her tell-all memoir &#8220;The Woman in Me&#8221; — in which she revealed that while they were dating, she got pregnant and got an abortion.

&#8220;I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book,&#8221; Spears <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/01/29/britney-spears-apologizes-justin-timberlake-memoir-praises-new-music/">wrote</a> in the caption next to the screenshot. &#8220;If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry.&#8221;

As of Thursday, Spears&#8217; apology post has been deleted.  The &#8220;Toxic&#8221; hitmaker also reportedly responded to Timberlake&#8217;s swipe in a <a href="https://x.com/breatheonmiley/status/1753111587953758586?s=20">screenshot</a> shared Thursday that read, &#8220;Someone told me someone was talking sh*tabout me on the streets!  Do you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time?  I&#8217;m not sorry!”
In October, Spears revealed in her book that she got <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake">pregnant</a> at 19 and ended up getting an abortion, claiming that it was in large part because Timberlake &#8220;didn&#8217;t want to be a father.&#8221; The two dated from 1999 — when she was 17 and he was 18 — until 2002, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/britney-spears-abortion-justin-timberlake-1235759140/">Variety</a> noted.
She <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-justin-timberlake-pregnancy-abortion-exclusive-8362622">wrote</a> that if it had been left up to her alone, she never would have aborted the baby, but added that Timberlake said they were &#8220;too young&#8221; to have a child.
&#8220;It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn&#8217;t a tragedy,&#8221; the former &#8220;The Mickey Mouse Club&#8221; star wrote. &#8220;I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I&#8217;d anticipated.&#8221;
&#8220;But Justin definitely wasn&#8217;t happy about the pregnancy,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He said we weren&#8217;t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.&#8221;
&#8220;I don’t know if that was the right decision.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-admits-in-new-memoir-she-cheated-on-justin-timberlake">Spears</a> also claimed in her memoir, that while they were dating, Timberlake cheated on her with &#8220;another celebrity,&#8221; but she said she wouldn&#8217;t name the person because she&#8217;s now &#8220;married with children.&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> appeared to have some difficulty differentiating between pop stars when he made a few off-the-cuff comments during Monday&#8217;s ceremonial turkey pardon at the White House.
Biden was explaining just how difficult the selection process was to find the turkeys for the pardon, and attempted to compare that to how challenging it could be to secure tickets for popular concerts — such as Taylor Swift&#8217;s The Eras Tour, which was so popular that it was released in theaters. His comparison went sideways, however, when he appeared to confuse Swift with Britney Spears and Beyonce.

Joe Biden makes a joke about how hard it is to get tickets to Beyonce&#39;s Renaissance Tour except he says that her name is &quot;Brittany.
He then says she is currently performing in Brazil, which is where Taylor Swift just did shows on her Eras Tour.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Liberty and Bell had to beat some tough odds, competition,&#8221; Biden said of the turkeys. &#8220;Harder than getting a ticket to The Renaissance Tour — or, or to Britney&#8217;s tour, she&#8217;s down in – it&#8217;s kind of warm in Brazil right now.&#8221;
But unfortunately for Biden, the joke was more confusing than it was funny. The Renaissance Tour — which was Beyonce&#8217;s recent outing, ended on October 1 in Kansas City. Britney Spears is not touring at all, and hasn&#8217;t since her tenth outing in 2018, her Piece of Me Tour.
Swift is the only one of the three who is currently on tour — and she is in Brazil — but a joke about the heat in Rio de Janeiro was likely to rub some fans the wrong way after <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/world/americas/taylor-swift-fan-dies-brazil.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one young woman died</a> at Swift&#8217;s concert there.
Ana Clara Benevides, 23, reportedly died of cardiac arrest in the extreme heat — and a number of other fans fainted at the first of three sold-out shows at the open-air venue. Fans took to social media to complain about the lack of water available, and at one point during the show, Swift called on security to help get water to concert-goers.
Swift offered her condolences via Instagram after learning that Benevides had died, saying in part, &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m writing these words, but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show &#8230; I feel this loss deeply, and by broken heart goes out other family and friends.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/britney-spears">Britney Spears</a>’ memoir, “The Woman in Me,” sold 1.1 million copies in the United States alone during its first week of release. The total includes pre-orders, print sales, e-books, and audiobooks, per <a href="https://apnews.com/article/britney-spears-memoir-million-sales-35fa0d265a45a5b67618554fe4cefc5a">AP News</a>.
“I poured my heart and soul into my <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/books">memoir</a>, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support,” Spears said in a statement released Wednesday by publisher Gallery Books, a division of Simon &amp; Schuster.
“The Woman in Me” was released on October 24 and instantly skyrocketed to the top of the bestsellers list. It documents the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">pop star</a>’s rise to international fame. It goes into detail about her public struggles, including her breakdown in 2008 when she <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/oct/19/out-of-my-mind-with-grief-britney-spears-details-2008-breakdown-in-memoir#:~:text=Spears%20writes%20that%20during%20several,her%20ex%2Dhusband%20Kevin%20Federline.">said</a> she &#8220;lost it, over and over again,&#8221; and her life under a conservatorship for 13 years.
Spears, 41, also made some previously unknown revelations in the book, including her pregnancy with then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake&#8217;s unborn child. She said she was about 19 when Timberlake pressured her to have an abortion.
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy,” Spears wrote of the pregnancy. “I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated.”

“But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy,” she continued. “He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”
Spears described the at-home abortion as being “excruciating,” saying she was “crying and sobbing” for “hours.”
“If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,” she wrote. “And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father. To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
Though Spears claimed on the book’s publication day that she had the “highest selling celebrity memoir in history,” that’s not a factual statement. Recently, Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” sold 1.6 million copies in its first week, per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/britney-spears-memoir-sold-1-million-copies-us-rcna123301">NBC News</a>.
“The Woman in Me” is narrated by Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams, who is being lauded for her vocal efforts. According to Gallery, the memoir is the fastest-selling audio release in the company’s history, partially credited to Williams’ work on the project.

Books

U.S.

In a recent shocking turn of events, America’s Princess of Pop unlocked a national conversation on a taboo subject for countless women across this country. In <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-justin-timberlake-pregnancy-abortion-exclusive-8362622" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passages</a> from her new memoir, Britney Spears details undergoing intense pain from an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-describes-at-home-abortion-as-excruciating-crying-and-sobbing-for-hours" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘agonizing’ at-home abortion</a>. Spears alleges that her serious boyfriend at the time, Justin Timberlake, was “sure he didn’t want to be a father.” In a one-two gut punch, she reveals that the pregnancy was, “a surprise, but for me, it wasn&#8217;t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much.” Spears alleges that contrary to her choice, she ultimately agreed with Timberlake’s decision to abort their child. She says that decision still haunts her to this day. “Twenty years later, [I] remember the pain of it, and the fear…if it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it.”
Now ask yourself, does that sound like an empowering picture of women’s choice to you?
Abortion coercion happens and it happens at alarming rates, yet hardly anyone talks about it. A <a href="https://www.cureus.com/articles/146123-the-effects-of-abortion-decision-rightness-and-decision-type-on-womens-satisfaction-and-mental-health#!/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent study from earlier this year</a> shows that this is a hidden epidemic in our country, with nearly 70% of abortions cited as coerced, unwanted, or inconsistent with women’s preferences. Megyn Kelly said it best on her podcast when she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EpIXxVcn7k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared Spears’ news</a>, commenting on her bravery and posing a million-dollar question: Why don’t we talk about this problem? 
I believe the biggest reason we don’t talk about abortion coercion, unfortunately, is because it&#8217;s an inconvenient truth for the business of abortion. Consider that, after the heart-breaking news about her abortion, not one stitch of communication came from Planned Parenthood, Emily’s List, or Reproductive Freedom for All (formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America). How odd, particularly when these pro-abortion organizations glad-hand with celebrities like there’s no tomorrow and demand women “shout” with unalloyed pride about their abortions. But it was crickets from them in response to Spears’ abortion confession. These organizations should be leading the charge to break the silence, stop the chokehold, and blot out this injustice. We should all be encouraged to activate our voices, just like Britney Spears, and share our experiences of abortion coercion. 
In 2021, Spears’ conservatorship court case alleged that her team forced her to have an IUD inside her so she couldn’t get pregnant. <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/planned-parenthood-britney-spears-iud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planned Parenthood responded</a> swiftly, “We stand in solidarity with Britney and all women who face reproductive coercion.”
Well, where is that same vigor today when the reproductive coercion that she alleges tips the scales in favor of abortion? Where is your solidarity?
The truth is abortion is the currency of pro-abortion activists and the political currency of most Democrats. Good luck trying to get them to sever their own cash cow. Look no further than last year’s <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/planned-parenthood-rakes-billions-despite-offering-fewer-services-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planned Parenthood Annual Report</a>. They raked in $1.9 billion in income – almost $1.9 million a day coming from taxpayers – while carrying out more than 374,000 abortions. 97% of the time, when a woman comes to them pregnant, she is sold an abortion. They charge a woman anywhere from around $600 for the earliest abortions to thousands of dollars for third-trimester abortions. And organizations like Planned Parenthood and others are also multi-million-dollar donors to Democrats.
They all know that abortion coercion is real, it happens, and it is detrimental to women. But none of them are willing to condemn it or even publicly acknowledge its existence. How can you be in the business of abortion and not recognize how it can be weaponized against women? You can’t mention reproductive coercion without admitting the role abortion plays.
I would encourage any of them to visit a pregnancy resource center and talk to women with unplanned pregnancies. I talk to them every week. I was one of those women.
When I confronted my child’s father with our unplanned pregnancy, he engaged in a full night of drinking. After he was drunk, he demanded I abort our child and threatened me. I don’t know how I mustered the courage, but I told him I would not be aborting our baby. After that, to my surprise, he never threatened me with abortion again. But not everyone’s story turns out like mine. And frankly, no one should ever be threatened, pressured, or forced to abort – by a partner, parent, physician or anyone.
Britney Spears’ confession has sparked a national conversation and I am thankful for it. As a country, we need to break the silence and allow women the freedom to publicly share our abortion coercion stories without fear or shame. And I invite abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood and others to join us in condemning abortion coercion and to stand in solidarity and elevate the stories of women who have been harmed by abortion.

Britney Spears’ Confession Casts Light On National Abortion Coercion Problem

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Britney Spears</a> posted on Instagram that her new memoir &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Woman-Me-Britney-Spears/dp/1668009048" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Woman In Me</a>&#8221; set a huge milestone one day after the book, filled with numerous bombshells, finally hit stores.
In a post on Tuesday, the 41-year-old pop singer shared an image of the cover of her tell-all book with a message that read, &#8220;My story. On my terms. At last.&#8221;

Britney Spears Says New Memoir Set Huge Milestone One Day After Release

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/britney-spears">Britney Spears</a> described her painful, emotional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/abortion">abortion</a> experience in her newly released memoir, “The Woman in Me,” which became available on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">pop star</a> previously told People Magazine that she hadn’t wanted to go through with the procedure but opted to abort her baby when her boyfriend at the time, fellow singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-timberlake">Justin Timberlake</a>, decided he didn’t want to be a father.
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy,” Spears <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake">wrote</a> of getting pregnant. “I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated.”
“But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy,” she added. “He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”
Spears started dating Timberlake in 1999 when she was 17 and he was 18. The abortion reportedly happened when Spears was about 19. They were a couple until 2002.

“If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,” Spears wrote of deciding to get an abortion. “And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father. To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
As for the abortion, Spears described in detail how it felt in her memoir. &#8220;It was important that no one find out about the pregnancy or the abortion, which meant doing everything at home,” she <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/books/2023/10/24/britney-spears-memoir-madonna-friendship-justin-timberlake-turmoil/71295328007/">wrote</a>. 
Because they were worried about the abortion being leaked to the press, only Spears’ assistant and family friend Felicia Culotta and Timberlake knew about the procedure. 
The pop star wrote in the book that the process was “excruciating&#8221; and that she was lying on the bathroom floor “sobbing and screaming” after ingesting the abortifacient pills because “the pain was unbelievable.” She wrote in the book that Timberlake was with her, strumming his guitar to try to cheer her up.
&#8220;I kept crying and sobbing until it was all over. It took hours, and I don’t remember how it ended, but I do, twenty years later, remember the pain of it, and the fear,&#8221; Spears wrote.

Britney Spears Describes At-Home Abortion As ‘Excruciating,’ ‘Crying And Sobbing’ For ‘Hours’

Britney Spears Describes At-Home Abortion As 'Excruciating,' 'Crying And Sobbing' For 'Hours'

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Britney Spears&#8217; new</a> memoir out Tuesday titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Woman-Me-Britney-Spears/dp/1668009048" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Woman In Me</a>&#8221; is full of numerous bombshells including that she had an abortion at 19 while dating Justin Timberlake, teen drinking with her mom, feeling &#8220;objectified&#8221; by her parents/media, and more.
The 41-year-old singer said her childhood, which she said involved drinking daiquiris with her mom and dating Justin Timberlake after meeting on &#8220;The Mickey Mouse Club,&#8221; was anything but ordinary, <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-drank-daiquiris-with-mom-lynne-spears-in-8th-grade-exclusive-8362519?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_content=likeshop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> reported.
&#8220;For fun, starting when I was in eighth grade, my mom [Lynne] and I would make the two-hour drive from Kentwood to Biloxi, Mississippi, and while we were there, we would drink daiquiris,&#8221; Spears wrote. &#8220;We called our cocktails &#8216;toddies.'&#8221;
&#8220;I loved that I was able to drink with my mom every now and then. The way we drank was nothing like how my father did it,&#8221; she added. &#8220;When he drank, he grew more depressed and shut down. We became happier, more alive and adventurous.&#8221;

Spears revealed in the book that while she was dating Timberlake, the pop star got <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pregnant</a> at 19 and ended up getting an abortion, claiming the actor &#8220;didn&#8217;t want to be a father.&#8221; The two dated from 1999 — when she was 17 and he was 18 — until 2002, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/britney-spears-abortion-justin-timberlake-1235759140/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted.

&#8220;It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn&#8217;t a tragedy,&#8221; the former &#8220;The Mickey Mouse Club&#8221; star wrote. &#8220;I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I&#8217;d anticipated.&#8221;

&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,&#8221; the singer <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12654057/Britney-Spears-excruciating-pain-abortion-Justin-Timberlake-pregnant.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued</a>. &#8220;And yet Justin was so sure that he didn&#8217;t want to be a father. To this day, it&#8217;s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.&#8221;
The superstar said because of the need for secrecy, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12654057/Britney-Spears-excruciating-pain-abortion-Justin-Timberlake-pregnant.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abortion</a> was done at her home, writing about the &#8220;excruciating&#8221; pain.
&#8220;It was important that no one find out about the pregnancy or the abortion, which meant doing everything at home,&#8221; the singer <a href="https://apnews.com/article/britney-spears-memoir-key-moments-timberlake-80d00a6d450d87ae68457bd826843be4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recalled,</a> adding that they didn&#8217;t tell her family.
The &#8220;Toxic&#8221; hitmaker claimed in the new book that while the Disney stars were dating, the former NSYNC member cheated on her with &#8220;another celebrity,&#8221; <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/10/18/britney-spears-claims-justin-timberlake-cheated-on-her-in-memoir-report/?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_content=curalate_like2buy_oY9UkwSj__44071179-19aa-4bad-a631-aeafc2c5f9f8&amp;utm_term=curalate_like2buy&amp;crl8_id=44071179-19aa-4bad-a631-aeafc2c5f9f8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> noted.

Spears chose not to name the actress because she said the woman has a family and &#8220;doesn’t want to embarrass&#8221; her. Another revelation from the &#8220;Gimme More &#8221; hitmaker was that she admitted she cheated while dating Timberlake with choreographer Wade Robson-confirming longtime rumors about unfaithfulness in their relationship.
Spears <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/10/19/britney-spears-admits-she-cheated-on-justin-timberlake-with-wade-robson-in-memoir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confessed</a> she &#8220;made out&#8221; and danced through the night with Robson when the two ended up at a Spanish bar while she was still in a relationship with Timberlake. The  pop star suggested in her memoir that her cheating had more to do with rumors of unfaithfulness by the former &#8220;Mickey Mouse Club&#8221; member, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/arts/music/britney-spears-memoir-takeaways.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> noted.
Spears&#8217; time in the spotlight briefly came to an end in 1994 when her time on the &#8220;Mickey Mouse Club&#8221; show ended. She talked fondly of that time in the memoir but admitted she missed performing.
In 1998, the 16-year-old singer released her debut single &#8220;&#8230;Baby One More Time&#8221; and became a huge celebrity. During the height of her career in the mid-2000s Spears appeared in headlines for the wild partying she was doing with socialite Paris Hilton and Disney actress Lindsay Lohan.
In the memoir, the pop star disputes that she was ever as &#8220;wild&#8221; as the press reported during her early adulthood as she admitted to doing &#8220;Adderall liberally&#8221; while she was drinking to feel &#8220;less depressed,&#8221; <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/10/19/britney-spears-reveals-drug-of-choice-from-2000s-partying-days/?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=pagesix&amp;utm_content=curalate_like2buy_oY9UkwSj__374c9d3a-c1be-4910-9b74-e7a7dc6dff42&amp;utm_term=curalate_like2buy&amp;crl8_id=374c9d3a-c1be-4910-9b74-e7a7dc6dff42" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> noted.
In 2004, she tied the knot with dancer Kevin Federline and the couple had two sons together. They divorced in 2007.

Ortega/WireImage via Getty Images</div>
In 2008, Spear&#8217;s father was put in charge of her financial affairs over concerns about the pop star&#8217;s mental health after she had been hospitalized for involuntary psychological assessments <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/arts/music/britney-spears-memoir-takeaways.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twice</a>. She remained under the conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, for nearly 14 years.
The singer said when it comes to that time in her life, it&#8217;s still hard to think about &#8220;having my freedom stripped away.&#8221;
She wrote that many of the headline-catching things she did during that time, like shaving her head bald, were about trying to have control in a situation where she said she had none, <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-says-dad-jamie-spears-repeatedly-told-her-looked-fat-during-conservatorship-exclusive-8362501?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_content=likeshop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a> noted.
&#8220;I&#8217;d been eyeballed so much growing up,&#8221; Spears wrote. I’d been looking up and down, and had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager. Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back. But under the conservatorship, I was made to understand that those days were now over. I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medication they told me to take.&#8221;
Spears said because she didn&#8217;t get to feel like an adult she would do &#8220;child-like&#8221; things and act like &#8220;a little girl&#8221; under the conservatorship, <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-felt-like-child-robot-under-conservatorship-exclusive-8362488?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=10702090-20231017&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_content=101723&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc">People</a> reported.
&#8220;This is what&#8217;s hard to explain, how quickly I could vacillate between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman, because of the way they had robbed me of my freedom,&#8221; the teen pop star wrote. &#8220;There was no way to behave like an adult, since they wouldn&#8217;t treat me like an adult…”
Several other revelations from Britney’s memoir <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-was-infantilized-and-a-child-robot-under-conservatorship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">included</a> that she felt &#8220;infantilized&#8221; and like a &#8220;child robot&#8221; under her conservatorship and she has no plans to get back to performing.
&#8220;Feeling like you&#8217;re never good enough is a soul-crushing state of being for a child,&#8221; Spears <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-was-infantilized-and-a-child-robot-under-conservatorship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote.</a> &#8220;He&#8217;d [Jamie] drummed that message into me as a girl, and even after I&#8217;d accomplished so much, he was continuing to do that to me.&#8221;
&#8220;I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself. The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage.&#8221;
&#8220;Thirteen years went by with me feeling like a shadow of myself,&#8221; Spears said, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/britney-spears-memoir-father-jamie-called-fat-1235620387/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">THR</a> reported. &#8220;I think back now on my father and his associates having control over my body and my money for that long and it makes me feel sick. Think of how many male artists gambled all their money away; how many had substance abuse or mental health issues. No one tried to take away their control over their bodies and money. I didn&#8217;t deserve what my family did to me.&#8221;

In November 2021, a judge terminated the conservatorship.
&#8220;Pushing forward in my music career is not my focus at the moment,&#8221; Britney wrote. &#8220;It’s time for me not to be someone who other people want; it’s time to actually find myself.&#8221;
&#8220;The Woman In Me&#8221; is due out October 24.

Britney Spears Drops Numerous Bombshells In New Memoir 'The Woman In Me'

Music

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-got-an-abortion-while-dating-justin-timberlake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Britney Spears</a> admitted in her upcoming memoir &#8220;The Woman In Me&#8221; that while she was dating Justin Timberlake she did cheat on him with choreographer Wade Robson — confirming longtime rumors about unfaithfulness in their relationship.
The 41-year-old pop singer confessed she &#8220;made out&#8221; and danced through the night with Robson when the two ended up at a Spanish bar while she was still in a relationship with Timberlake, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/10/19/britney-spears-admits-she-cheated-on-justin-timberlake-with-wade-robson-in-memoir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> reported.
&#8220;We were out one night and we went to a Spanish bar,&#8221; Spears wrote. &#8220;We danced and danced. I made out with him that night.&#8221;
The &#8220;Toxic&#8221; hitmaker said the couple &#8220;agreed to move past&#8221; her infidelity because she had otherwise been &#8220;loyal to Justin&#8221; for years and &#8220;only had eyes for him.&#8221;
However, the &#8220;Womanizer&#8221; hitmaker suggested in her memoir that her cheating had more to do with rumors of unfaithfulness involving the former Mickey Mouse Club member, the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/arts/music/britney-spears-memoir-takeaways.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> noted.
&#8220;I felt like I had been exploited,&#8221; the pop singer wrote. &#8220;Set up in front of the whole world.&#8221;

In the book, Spears accused the 42-year-old singer of cheating on her while they were dating with &#8220;another celebrity,&#8221; but she said she wouldn&#8217;t name the person because she&#8217;s now &#8220;married with children.&#8221;
At the time, fans believed Timberlake was involved with singer Nicole Appleton — after the two got caught by <a href="https://twitter.com/breatheonmiley/status/1198396067190124544" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paparrazzi</a> in the back of a car together after a night out in London in 2000.
Appleton shares son Gene, 22, with her ex-husband, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher. She has since remarried Stephen Haines and shares 3-year-old daughter Skipper with him, Page Six noted.
Spears and Timberlake dated from 1999 — when she was 17 and he was 18 — until 2002, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/britney-spears-abortion-justin-timberlake-1235759140/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted.
In 2003, Timberlake released his hit song &#8220;Cry Me A River,&#8221; which features a look-a-like Spears in the music video, and it has long been believed the song was about Britney cheating on him.
Ahead of the release of the memoir, the &#8220;Gimme More&#8221; hitmaker made several other revelations, including that she got pregnant with Timberlake&#8217;s child and agreed at his request to get an abortion, claiming the actor &#8220;didn&#8217;t want to be a father.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-shares-cryptic-posts-following-news-of-split-from-husband" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spears</a> wrote that if it had been left up to her alone, she never would have aborted the baby, but added that Timberlake said they were &#8220;too young&#8221; to have a baby, <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-justin-timberlake-pregnancy-abortion-exclusive-8362622" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> reported.
&#8220;It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn&#8217;t a tragedy,&#8221; the pop star wrote. &#8220;I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I&#8217;d anticipated.&#8221;
&#8220;But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He said we weren&#8217;t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.&#8221;

Spears said it is still one of the most harrowing experiences she&#8217;s ever had.
&#8220;If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;And yet Justin was so sure that he didn&#8217;t want to be a father. To this day, it&#8217;s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.&#8221;
Spears started dating Timberlake in 1999 when she was 17 and he was 18, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/britney-spears-abortion-justin-timberlake-1235759140/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted. The two dated until 2002.

She went on to tie the knot with Kevin Federline in 2004, and the couple had two sons.
On Tuesday, several other revelations from Britney&#8217;s memoir were released, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/britney-spears-says-she-was-infantilized-and-a-child-robot-under-conservatorship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">including</a> that she felt &#8220;infantilized&#8221; and like a &#8220;child robot&#8221; under her nearly 14 years of conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears.
&#8220;Feeling like you&#8217;re never good enough is a soul-crushing state of being for a child,&#8221; Spears <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-felt-like-child-robot-under-conservatorship-exclusive-8362488" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;He&#8217;d [Jamie] drummed that message into me as a girl, and even after I&#8217;d accomplished so much, he was continuing to do that to me.&#8221;
&#8220;I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself. The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage.&#8221;
In November 2021, a judge terminated the conservatorship.
&#8220;The Woman In Me&#8221; is due out October 24.

Britney Spears Says She Got An Abortion While Dating Justin Timberlake

Pop singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/britney-spears">Britney Spears</a> just released a few excerpts from her upcoming <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/books">memoir</a>, “The Woman in Me,” and discussed how she felt about being under a conservatorship plus gave more insight into her public breakdowns.
The 41-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">celebrity</a> shared portions of the book with <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-felt-like-child-robot-under-conservatorship-exclusive-8362488">People</a>. Spears said she felt like a “robot” under the conservatorship managed by her father, Jamie Spears.
“I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” the recording artist wrote in the book. “The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”
She went on to say how being in the conservatorship made her feel like “a shadow” of herself.
“This is what’s hard to explain, how quickly I could vacillate between being a little girl and being a teenager and being a woman, because of the way they had robbed me of my freedom. There was no way to behave like an adult, since they wouldn’t treat me like an adult, so I would regress and act like a little girl; but then my adult self would step back in — only my world didn’t allow me to be an adult,” Spears continued in the excerpt.
She added, “The woman in me was pushed down for a long time. They wanted me to be wild onstage, the way they told me to be, and to be a robot the rest of the time. I felt like I was being deprived of those good secrets of life — those fundamental supposed sins of indulgence and adventure that make us human. They wanted to take away that specialness and keep everything as rote as possible. It was death to my creativity as an artist.”
Spears also discussed the infamous incident in 2007 when she shaved her head. “I’d been eyeballed so much growing up. I’d been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager,” the “Toxic” singer said, per <a href="https://people.com/britney-spears-reveals-why-shaved-off-hair-in-2007-exclusive-8362494">People</a>. “Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back.”

She said the conservatorship kept her from doing what she wanted. “Under the conservatorship I was made to understand that those days were now over,” she writes. “I had to grow my hair out and get back into shape. I had to go to bed early and take whatever medication they told me to take,” she wrote.
&#8220;I think back now on my father and his associates having control over my body and my money for that long and it makes me feel sick… Think of how many male artists gambled all their money away; how many had substance abuse or mental health issues. No one tried to take away their control over their bodies and money. I didn’t deserve what my family did to me.”
Spears&#8217; conservatorship ended in November 2021 after a highly publicized court battle. Fans have since expressed concern for the pop singer&#8217;s welfare as she&#8217;s known to share strange videos on social media, including a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lighten-up-about-the-knives-britney-spears-defends-video-of-her-dancing-with-butcher-knives">recent post</a> where she appeared to be dancing around her house with real butcher knives.
