Just when you thought Justin Timberlake’s reputation couldn’t take another hit, Britney Spears writes in her memoir that he broke up with her via text message.
According to The New York Times, Spears writes in The Woman in Me that Timberlake initiated the split with a text. Remember that this breakup happened in 2002, meaning that he would have had to compose his breakup message using T9—so this could have taken hours to type out, depending on Timberlake’s level of eloquence.
After the three-year relationship ended, while Timberlake was boosting his own image and insinuating that Spears had cheated on him with “Cry Me a River,” Spears wrote that she was “comatose in Louisiana, and he was happily running around Hollywood.”
Per the same New York Times report, Spears writes that she kissed choreographer Wade Robson during her relationship with Timberlake but “suggests that her behavior was related to rumors of Timberlake’s unfaithfulness.” Sounds…messy. Keep in mind, both parties were only 19 when they started dating.
For those keeping score, The Woman in Me also covers Spears’s discomfort with Timberlake bragging about their sex life publicly and alleges that Timberlake pressured her into getting a secret abortion. “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 writes, per an excerpt published in People. “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.”
Suffice it to say that Britney Spears fans have had it up to here with this man.
The Woman in Me hits shelves on October 24.
