Britney Spears was brutally dumped by her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, after going through an abortion and dealing with infidelity with her former flame.
The Toxic singer revealed in an excerpt from her memoir, The Woman In Me, that Justin had urged her to abort her baby after she fell pregnant with his child during their four-year relationship. She said he felt they were "too young" to have a baby.
Britney also claimed Justin had cheated on her with an unnamed celebrity. The pair split in 2002 after the Cry Me A River singer found out about her cheating with choreographer Wade Robson, which she confirms in the memoir. Justin ended their rocky relationship over text, and now, the details of the break-up message have been revealed.

He told Page Six that he found her "sitting on the floor with her legs crossed, her makeup smudged, and in tears." Britney was dressed in a Juicy Couture tracksuit and held up her Motorola flip phone to Chris before saying: “I can’t believe it. Look it. This happened.”
Then she showed a text from Justin that read: “It’s over!!!” Chris encouraged a heartbroken Britney to "show him that he just made the biggest f***ing mistake of his life.”
Amid the release of excerpts from the memoir, PR strategist Laura Perkes - who's the founder of PR with Perkes - has shared her advice for publicists working with Justin. She's suggested that he "take control of the narrative" now.

Despite the fact he's stayed silent about his relationship with Britney, the revelations can't be ignored, nor should they."
She added: "The media will want answers and their (Justin and Britney's) fans will also want answers. While Justin may be tempted to hope it all blows over, ignoring the situation won't make it go away. If anything it will make it worse."
