Britney Spears has admitted she was "messed up for a while" after her "painful" abortion after falling pregnant with Justin Timberlake's child.
In her tell-all memoir The Woman in Me, released on October 24th, the Toxic singer reveals the intricacies of her rocky romance with the Cry Me A River singer, including a shock abortion after falling pregnant with his child and that he cheated on her with All Saints star Nicole Appleton and another unnamed celebrity.
Staying true to herself, Britney shares that she too cheated during the four-year relationship. She revealed that she slept with Wade Robson "one time" after a night out with the dancer.
"We were out one night and we went to a Spanish bar. We danced and danced. I made out with him that night," she wrote before claiming she had been loyal to Justin throughout their relationship, expect for that "one exception". And she says she openly admitted the incident to Justin at the time, but they were able to move on from it.

Justin ended things with Britney over text, sending a brutal two-word message to the singer. The message, which came through while Britney was "powering through" a two-day music video shoot, made her to say: “He blew the best thing he ever had.”
She was working on the set of the “Overprotected: The Darkchild Remix” music video in downtown Los Angeles and director Chris Applebaum told Page Six that he found her "sitting on the floor with her legs crossed, her makeup smudged, and in tears."

She confessed to sleeping with Wade (WireImage)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.”
It's said when Justin Timberlake released Cry Me A River in 2002 he cruelly used a lookalike of the pop icon in the infamous video and Britney had a telling reaction. The Toxic hitmaker was stunned by Justin’s video, and revealed he spoke to her about it before it was released, but didn't tell her just how scathing the music video would be.
Britney Spears’s memoir, , published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, is available Oct. 24 wherever books are sold.
