Britney Spears Says She Had Abortion With Justin Timberlake

Britney Spears reveals in her upcoming memoir, The Woman In Me, that she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake. “Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young,” Spears writes in excerpts published by People. “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day,” she continued. “I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.” Spears was 17 when she started dating an 18-year-old Timberlake in 1999. They split in 2002. In the book, Spears also reveals why she shaved her head in 2007. “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,” she writes. “Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back.”
