celeb megathread The Woman in Me Megathread | Out now | Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt bid for adaptation

[Comedor]

Britney is almost like the gay Jesus, she only came here to suffer and liberate us. She has gone through so much.

[PoisonPill]

I feel bad saying this, but imagine if she’d kept the baby and stayed with Justin… how different her life could’ve turned out

[Magic_boXX]

Wow  shocking but I wonder if this after the cheating accusations or before. 

[Ivan_brit]

Im actually in shook!!! I did not see this one coming 

[Glorified]

I just hope he gets what he deserves.

 

What goes around.../...Comes around 🙂

[Zeferino]

Britney 

[Nina Dobrev]

And then the "source" for Jessica and Justin have the nerve to say "let's not focus on the past"

What goes around, comes around Justine

The cheating allegations happened after they broke up, a year + after this happened. There were also rumors on him cheating first, we'll see if she addresses it on the book.

This was also released by People; which is much more trustworthy. I think the OP should reference People and not trash TMZ

 

Britney reveals in her forthcoming memoir, 'The Woman In Me,' she had an abortion while dating Justin Timberlake because he "didn't want to be a father." 

 

“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. 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,” Britney writes of the pregnancy in the book. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young."

 

She continues: "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."

Thank you! It's insane how many people are willing listening to the TMZ condensed version that puts words in her mouth that she did not say. She literally never says "we BOTH agreed." That's not what this was. That's the version they would like to believe because it's easier to digest. 

[1989]

I mean, I don’t blame Justin for not wanting to be a father at 20, there are very few—if any—people that are ready to be parents at 19/20 years old. I truthfully don’t think he or Britney were ready at the time. 
 

However, this added context to his behavior and treatment of Britney after their breakup just shows that he has a truly rotten personality. To be okay with publicly making fun of and sl*t shaming the woman that literally could’ve almost been the mother of your child is…something. That is an extremely difficult situation to go through (no matter what your feelings are about it), and for him to say (or imply) all the things he did about her all those years when he knew the full story is gross. He is vile.

Yeah, mods should change the OP, replacing TMZ with People's article @Ryan

From what I’m seeing here, Spears said herself that she doesn’t deem it to be tragic

This is not what she said. She's saying she didn't view the pregnancy as a tragedy in regards to the way he (and clearly everyone around them) did. She quite literally says it's one of the most agonizing things she's ever gone through. Why are you all so adamant about taking this woman's words out of context to downplay this situation?

What It's not clear in "we both agree with that?".

 

Abortion exist because if 19 years old make sex and the girl became pregnant you can tell "It's not the right Moment". Every One in the couple has the right to express how It feels. The the ultimate choice is on the woman. And She agreed in the end It was the right thing. Which is still a painful experience but just because your 19 years old girl get pregnant doesn't mean you have to be forced to became father or you don't have any right to express your feeling.

 

If She should have said " i was pregnant, i decided for an abortion but he was insisting i had to give birth" you would blame him anyways for the opposite reason 

She didn't say that, though. You guys keep acting like she took a pregnancy test, showed Justin the results, and they both looked at each other and said "abortion? Yup abortion!" That is a false sentence you're inserting into her excerpt. 

[Adamj.dion]

The switch in here on abortion - now it’s a tragedy. In the end it, it was her choice. 

Though I can empathise with someone reflecting on that with regret. 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

I think some people are missing the point. This doesn't need to be a controversial debate on abortion. For me the issue isn't "did JT force her to have an abortion?" Unless she directly states herself that he did, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that they came to a mutual decision to go through with it together. It's none of my business how they came to the conclusion they did. I do know regardless that abortions are incredibly difficult experiences for any woman who experiences it. 

 

The issue I have is how JT treated her publicly after she went through with an abortion for him. The complete lack of respect for what she sacrificed and went through for him is where I judge him to be a total jerk. IDC what he or she did to each other to prompt the break up, how he handled it was already bad enough, but this makes it so much worse.  JT had no respect for her and besides this issue, he has just proven himself to be a rather ugly human being on multiple publicized instances... who knows what else is out there. If karma is real, it is coming to collect for him.

This isn't a political debate neither it is about our opinions. This is about a tragic story. It's about understanding her story and what lead to her major breakdown , leading up to THIS point. 

 

There's no "switch". There was a literal missing piece in Britney's story. And NOW it makes 95% more sense. Clearly this was something that had impacted her so deeply at a young age. Then her ex and her family pushed her to her limit whilst she was literally grieving. 

 

The backlash she received since that ******* made that stupid song about her was OVERWHELMING. She was **** shamed by him and eventually the entire society did too.

 

This is about the aftermath and how both took on the breakup. One was deeply grieving whilst the other just took an opportunity to bring her DOWN and make her be viewed in such a horrible way whilst succeeding professionally.

They're never going to see it that way. There's another puzzle piece regarding their relationship that's going to come out, and even then, they're still not going to care about the full context. Haven't you heard? Britney being stripped of her basic human rights still wasn't enough "accountability" in these people's minds, so therefore, any explanation she gives to provide background on events from her past are going to be met with distain from those who really just want her to say "I deserved to be under a conservatorship because of how unorganized my life was in 2007." Every traumatizing moment in her life, in their eyes, should be met with a reflection of "I deserved that." They're freaks, who more than anything, do not want any sort of empathy extended to a person they've already dehumanized.

I don’t like how she includes the “Justin didn’t want it, he said we were too young” part. People will now start blaming him for “forcing” her to get it. Don’t get me wrong, Justin ain’t ****, but he was right. Neither were ready for a child and that baby would’ve ended both their careers on the spot.

People downotving this but seriously how many 19/20 yr olds are ready for a baby? I for sure as hell would not be ready to be a father at that age

She’s always been the sweetest and most humble pop star in the world and she can’t have a single person around her be ******* decent with her.

Provably untrue. There have been well documented times in her career were she has certainly not acted humble or sweet. This isn't to say she deserved how her life turn out but the image of as proverbial saint that only bad things ever happened is going overboard.

She was already abusing substances at this point. Maybe it would been an incentive to get clean although it wasn't when her the children she has were born.

I think that's an interesting question. Since we know she had an affair during their relationship it's possible a reason JT may have not wanted her to have a baby is they couldn't be sure who the biological father was.

I would like to be only Britney’s decision. I’m applaud her bravery.

[Into The Void]

Do people think the gp will really care about what's in this book about things that happened 20+ years ago?

 

Cause they wont

[Funnyfatty]

They were both extremely young and Justin wasn’t ready to be a father. He has the right to say this are some of you stupid  do you know how much of an responsibility it is to become a parent. Both of their careers would been non existent if they didn’t keep on working. Both wanted to be a huge star around the world and grew up together having the same dream. Becoming a parent at the peak of your career would totally destroy both of them. I don’t think Britney was ready to be a mother either. 
 

+ i believe the man that will become the father HAS THE RIGHT to share their opinion about this. And NO its not controlling the body of a woman

That could make sense but I do recall they both blamed  each other of cheating.  

 

It's crazy what's she's been through and for the public back then would chew her out from left to right. She definitely deserves the long hiatus, and just live her life.
