Singer Britney Spears' biography made waves - her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake didn't fare well.
Spears has now publicly apologized.
In October 2023, Britney Spears made headlines with the release of her long-awaited biography, The Woman in Me.
The 42-year-old talked about her exciting life and made tons of headlines in her career.
In her book, Spears also discussed her relationship with fellow singer Justin Timberlake, with whom she was in a relationship between 1999 and 2002.
The American did not skimp on intimate details about her relationship with the 43-year-old.

Spears, who has won numerous awards, said in the book, among other things, that she was pregnant by Timberlake and that he pressured her to have an abortion.
Over time, the musician became more and more distant and finally broke up via text message.
You can also read about several of the US singer's infidelities in the memoirs.
When Timberlake recently released his new single “Selfish,” angry Spears fans caused a stir.
They called online for Spears' 2011 song of the same name to be placed in front of Timberlake's new single - and were even partially successful.
