This book will the a turning point in pop history 

 

the amount of sincerity I can just feel through my iphone screen right now. It's no wonder she did not feel like recording the whole audio book. This will be a tough read emotionally speaking but I can't wait

Yes. Speak on it

Y’all’s reactions are a bit melodramatic. I’m sure it was a difficult decision but a LOT of women and straight couples go through this exact scenario, probably many you know.

I don't think it is JUST about the decision. He gaslit her into agreeing to do it. STILL not about just that.

 

When you witness all that happened afterwards when he could have easily taking the high road IS the real kicker.

 

Post breakup he did not give her grace KNOWING he had misogyny working form as well as PRIVILEGE.

So what is this supposed to mean? She was forced to sign a record deal too? 

are you really blaming a scared minor for trying to save her family from poverty?

People protecting Justin are stupid. He gaslit her into having an abortion and was probably pressuring her to do so, despite her wanting to keep the child. Thats vile.

Exactly and then post breakup he gave her no grace and she still took the high road and never bashed him her song Guilty exists and instead put out Everytime owning her mistake even though they BOTH cheated.

Honestly this makes everything he did/say after their break-up even more gross now.

AND that is my biggest issue with this.

[BOOMBAYAH]

Let me pre-order the book chile 

[Totami Legend]

the fact that people used the Everytime lyrics against her (caused you pain, this song is my sorry) and pushed the cheating allegations for decades but she wasn't even singing about him in the first place.

The Everytime song and music video hit different now, especially with the baby being born at the end and the song sounding like a lullaby.

The fact that in the original video she drowns

[Daddy]

I think people in here mix up 2 points. You can't be mad about the abortion but the AFTERMATH. 

 

JT was a vile POS for how he treated the time afterwards. THAT's why people are mad. 

[Starshine]

Whew the way Miss Spears has launched SEVERAL careers and many of them have profited off of being the "anti-Britney". 

[allforyou]

Oh My God  I never saw this coming. I'm glad it was a thought out decision agreed by both parties though.

[Young In Love]

OMG... 

ordering the book as I type

Oh wow, i'm shook.

Also she went through this and he went on to laugh about taking her virginity and constantly **** shaming Britney?! What trash.

 

[Junlin]

It must taken by his son no? 

[BnPac]

He was 19, of course he didn’t want a baby. They were both too young. And the end decision is the woman’s, let’s be honest. Even for her, it would have been devastating, she was still pretending to be a virgin at the time and marketed as such. I don’t understand this overwhelming need to make Britney an absolute powerless victim in every single aspect of her life. 
 

How he acted afterwards is something else though.

[DAP]

She is far more graceful to people that have betrayed her than I am with me. Better person than me because I could not and will never.

People still not getting that Britney NEVER ever cared about her career more than having a family. The whole "her career would..." means nothing.

Let's be real

 

In piece of me and with a kid on my arm I'm still an exceptional earner. SHE KNEW that a baby would not end her career.

 

It would have ENDED HER SEX symbol status but as we NOW see post 2004-present Brintey is NOT a sex symbol and STILL had a career despite tons of people claiming she would be a one hit wonder then a one album wonder then oh once she is no longer sexy she's done. ALL LIES.

 

We wouldn't have gotten In the zone and Blackout but she would have likely branded herself with him marrying him on camera ala princess diana and getting a Newlyweds style show on MTV expanded her business brand even more. He would have been able to put out all of his albums without an issues. That's the misogyny of it all but she WOULD have still made a career in other ways. 

 

She never cared but she still would have had one or just been a socialite housewife but it's amazing that she cared about family more than fame. Sucks she has such a bad family.

I am not gonna fault JT for not wanting to be a father at 19. She was also the same age. She also states that they came to the decision together to not have a baby at that time. Unless she outright says that he pressured it, there is nothing about this to attack JT for.

you need to read all of the quotes then and you are either purposely not getting the point or maybe not.

 

The issue is not a one off. This is PRE breakup where he could have given her grace after she experienced something she did not want to do but agreed to do it because he didn't want to be a father.

 

Had he never been disrespectful or used her I think this would be a one off but there is a bigger issue at hand.

 

I am not playing that game of "attack JT" but people have a better understanding of what she went through which makes HIS ACTIONS post breakup even worse.

[Mystic Boy]

The fact that the interview wasn't even done via Zoom or even by Phone but by e-mail? wtf

[MonsterTown]

now makes sense why he was worried all this time to be kinda "kind" to her or whatever he knew she would share this someday somehow

But that’s the thing you see. No one is making Britney the victim for having an abortion. She clearly says she wouldn’t have a problem keeping it had she had Justin’s support which is understandable. She did what she had to do and decided to stay with Justin after that, only for him to profit off of her pain years after by launching his solo career and making fun of her and her breakdown. That’s the problem.

The way the news are coming out to most gossip headlines like they both agreed on it while Britney made it clear that he pressured her into doing it is so fishy. For sure Justin T had PR ready in advance for today. 

This is probably the change he contested earlier this year

 

 

[starsailor]

Well, I wouldn’t want a baby in my 19 yo neither. She probably will be haunted by the “what if” forever, but in my opinion, she didn’t do anything wrong. She was just starting her brilliant career. An abortion shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. And in the end of the day, her trully bad decision attends by the name Kevin. And the drugs too.

[chosensparkles]

Timberlake then crying like a baby for Cry Me A River and acting like Britney didn't have sex with him but with someone else

[Peak Now]

I think a lot of y'all are going about this the wrong way. Whether the abortion was the "right thing to do" regarding her career, mental health, etc. is irrelevant to this discussion as what really only matters is if Britney actually made the decision on her own accord, or was pressured to do so by Justin/her parents/her label.

 

Since we don't have concrete evidence either way I'd have to (reluctantly) give the benefit of the doubt to Justin here, but this doesn't take away from the fact that how he treated Britney after the breakup was vile, especially now we know that Britney had an abortion due to Justin.

The music box/lullaby elements of Everytime make it SO obvious, how didn’t I notice
