After making a series of shock allegations about her ex Justin Timberlake in her memoir, Britney Spears insists it’s time to move on with a ‘clean slate’
Hitting bookshelves last week in a flurry of headlines, it was no surprise when Britney Spears announced that her explosive new memoir, The Woman In Me, had become the ‘highest selling celebrity memoir in history’ after just one day of sales.
REVELATIONS
Fans across the world pored over shocking and heartbreaking revelations detailed in the pop icon’s bombshell book, with many of the most surprising claims being about one key person – her ex Justin Timberlake.

“So to have her bring up such private and very personal details about her relationship with Justin – especially knowing he’s married with two young children – feels like a stab in the back.
“Justin was in a state of shock when he heard about the claims, questioning why she felt the need to throw him under the bus when there’s been no bad blood between them for over 20 years.”

In her memoir, she describes how the legal order – which controlled every aspect of her life from what she ate to the medication she was forced to take, how she spent her money and reportedly even forcing her to under
