“I am here to establish it that way for the rest of my entire life !!!” she wrote. “Either way that is the last of it and s–t happens !!!” Britney said that while she knows “some” people may be “offended” by her confessions, she admits writing the memoir was good for her as it provided “closure on all things for a better future.”
“Hopefully I can enlighten people who feel particularly alone in most cases or hurt on misunderstood !!!” the “… Baby One More Time” Britney continued. “Again, my motive for this book was not to harp on my past experiences which is what the press is doing and it’s dumb and silly !!! I have moved on since then !!!”

Britney Implicates Several Married Men In Her Memoir
One thing the memoir sheds a lot of light on is her past relationship with Justin Timberlake, 42. The singer reveals she became pregnant unexpectedly during their time together, but says Justin pressured her into having an abortion, which she chose to do. Britney further claims she and Justin both cheated on each other before he allegedly broke up with her via text.
Justin hasn’t publicly responded to Britney’s claims, though there’s been a lot of uproar amongst her fans for the way he allegedly treated her. Justin has been married to actress Jessica Biel, 41, since 2012, and the pair share two sons.
Britney implicates another married man in her memoir – photographer Adnan Ghalib. Their romance began in 2007, but the singer says in her new memoir she was unaware the photographer was married at the time.

Justin is reportedly trying to stop Britney from talking about him in her new memoir.
Britney and Adnan eventually broke up in 2008, the same year her father, Jamie Spears, filed to put Britney in a conservatorship. The next year, Jamie got a restraining order issued against Adnan, so he had to stay away from Britney.
“I became a robot. But not just a robot — a sort of child-robot. I had been so infantilized that I was losing pieces of what made me feel like myself,” Britney says of the conservatorship in her memoir. “The conservatorship stripped me of my womanhood, made me into a child. I became more of an entity than a person onstage. I had always felt music in my bones and my blood; they stole that from me.”
Despite the controversy her book her stirred, Britney has already revealed she’s open to writing another memoir, though nothing is confirmed.
