1. Britney Had An Abortion At The Age of 19
Britney Spears has claimed that she got pregnant at 19 when she was dating NSYNC member Justin Timberlake, but since the singer was not ready to start a family, she had to abort the child with a heavy heart. “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,” she writes in her memoir.
2. Nation’s Obsession With Britney’s Virginity
Ever since her head-turning debut, Britney has been a center of attraction, and during her early years in the spotlight, the entire nation was obsessed with her virginity. The pop icon, speaking about the same, revealed that her team portrayed her “as an eternal virgin” even though she first had sex when she was 14.
“Given that I had so many teenage fans, my managers and press people had long tried to portray me as an eternal virgin — never mind that Justin [Timberlake] and I had been living together, and I’d been having s*x since I was fourteen,” Britney, the 41-year-old singer says in her book.
3. Spears Keeps Justin’s Break-up Letter Under Her Bed
Though Justin Timberlake broke up with Britney via a two-word text message, he also gave her a framed handwritten break-up letter. Brit revealed that Justin, 42, visited her in Louisiana to deliver her a breakup letter, which she still keeps underneath her bed. “He brought me a long letter he’d written and framed,” she explains, “I still have it under my bed. And at the end, it said—it makes me want to cry to think about it—‘I can’t breathe without you.’ Those are the last words in it.”
4. An Ode To ‘Gift from God’ Sam Asghari
Britney Spears has a deep-seated respect for her estranged husband Sam Asghari whom she met in 2016 during the shooting of her Slumber Party music video. In the memoir’s concluding pages, Britney writes, “I have an appreciation for how stable he is. I love that he doesn’t even drink.”
5. Conservatorship Kept Britney From Getting ‘Messed Up’ Like Christina Aguilera
The ‘Toxic’ singer claimed that her conservatorship kept her from partying like Christina Aguilera – who looked pretty messed up in 2012. “The tours under the conservatorship were strictly sober, so we weren’t allowed to drink. Once, I ended up with most of the same dancers as Christina Aguilera. The dancers and I met up with Christina in Los Angeles. She seemed pretty messed up,” Spears says.
6. Britney Got Married To Jason Alexander Because She Was ‘Super Drunk’
Britney Spears said she married her childhood friend Jason Alexander because she was “very drunk” and “bored.” Without naming Alexander in her memoir, the Gimme More singer says she wound up in bed with him and decided to get married one night when they got ‘super drunk’. “People have asked me if I loved him. To be clear: he and I were not in love,” Spears writes. “I was just honestly very drunk — and probably, in a more general sense at that time in my life, very bored,” she writes.
Britney Spears recently took to her Instagram account to thank her fans for making her highest-selling celebrity memoir in history.
