Justin Timberlake is “not at all happy” and has not reached out to Britney Spears in the wake of the explosive revelations the pop star revealed in her new memoir.
Spears mentioned Timberlake numerous times in her new book, The Woman in Me, after the New York Post revealed he had been “concerned” about what his ex would divulge.
“Justin has not reached out to Britney at all about any of this, and he is not going to because there is nothing he can say to her,” a source told the Daily Mail.
While the insider noted that Spears is “just telling it from her point of view,” Timberlake reportedly is not “OK with it”.
“Justin is not at all happy about what has come out in this book,” the source claimed.
“Doing this book has given Britney life, and she really doesn’t care who is offended by anything in it because it is what happened. She was there and lived through it. No one can say anything. She has got this all out of her and is moving on now.”
In the book, Spears, 41, opened up on her ill-fated romance with former *NSYNC boy-bander Timberlake, 42, and revealed that she had an abortion because he “didn’t want to be a father”.
In her memoir, Spears says that her pregnancy was “a surprise” but not “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,” she writes 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.”
“I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby. I don’t know if that was the right decision. 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.”
In the book she describes the procedure as “one of the most agonising things” she has ever experienced.
Spears was in a relationship with Timberlake from 1999 to 2002 until he dumped her over text.
And while Timberlake has remained silent since the book’s release earlier this week, its bombshells reportedly marred the star’s 11th wedding anniversary to wife, actress and producer, Jessica Biel.
“Britney’s book coming out with all the revelations coming from it has not been the best for his anniversary celebrations,” a second source claimed to the outlet.
“Having it in the Zeitgeist hasn’t been a topic of constant conversation, but Justin and Jessica have definitely talked about it.
“And to have to think of all of that during a time when they should celebrate their love for each other hasn’t been the most satisfying of days lately; it has been a bit stressful,” the insider added.
In the US, the book has leapt straight to the top of the bestseller lists with an ecstatic Spears taking to social media to thank fans for their support.
“It’s happening!!!” the pop star wrote in an Instagram and X post.
“My book is the highest selling celebrity memoir in history and it’s only day 1!!! Thank you to the fans who have been so supportive!!! Love you all!!!”
