A couple years again, once we as a tradition had been revisiting how Britney Spears had been handled, an in depth confidant of hers dished on simply how unhealthy Justin Timberlake had harm her. Now we’ve got an entire new context for that ache.
We’re speaking now after all concerning the revelation in Brit’s memoir, The Woman In Me, that she obtained pregnant with Justin’s child in late 2000. The 19-year-old let Justin speak her into getting an abortion — although she actually wished to have the kid. She wrote with tangible remorse over the choice:
“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… To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
Yeah. Wow.

Naturally the reveal has followers rethinking all the pieces that occurred with the couple — together with their tough breakup. It appears particularly merciless what JT did to her within the aftermath.
We’re talking after all concerning the breakup banger Cry Me A River. In the revenge-fueled music video, Justin sneaks into the house of an ex whereas she’s out with a brand new man — and makes a intercourse tape on her mattress. He then briefly spies on the Britney lookalike within the bathe earlier than leaving the vid enjoying on her TV for her to see.
Julianne Kaye, Britney’s make-up artist from 1999 to 2004, spoke concerning the impact that video had on her in a 2021 episode of the We Need To Talk About Britney podcast. She mentioned:
“The video didn’t help, that he made. I think that really sent her over the edge. I think it was cruel… I thought that was really messed up. That really hurt her.”
Yeah, it clearly did what it was designed to do! It was notably painful for Britney as a result of, Julianne mentioned, JT knew precisely tips on how to harm her most and went for it:
“To know Britney… her life was already so public and not hers, and she cried about it all the time. This is like all the time. ‘I want to be normal, I want to be…’ It was, like, looming over her. So the fact that he did that was to really go for the jugular… I mean, he basically said what happened, you know what I mean?”
And to know he did this after she had gone by way of such a devastating sacrifice for him. Even in the event that they didn’t work out in the long run, even when they actually did get messy as hell and cheat on one another by the tip of the connection, he ought to have handled her with a lot extra respect afterward. If only for the actual fact she had an abortion, apparently particularly for him. Damn.
No surprise she was harm so unhealthy, even when she by no means instructed even Julianne that element. How may he do it, understanding that??
