The “Toxic” singer, now 41, writes that the “Cry Me a River” singer, now 42, requested she terminate the pregnancy.
In the music video for “Everytime” — which fans have long speculated was about Timberlake and their breakup — Spears walks through a hospital with two women — one who just died and one who gave birth.
Spears has never clarified the meaning behind the 20-year-old song or music video.
In theWoman in Me, Spears opens up about the painful experience.
