Britney Spears is leaving no stone unturned. The Grammy-winner spoke about how she suspected Justin Timberlake was cheating on her when they were in a relationship from 1999-2002 in her memior “The Woman in Me.”
“There were a couple of times during our relationship when I knew Justin had cheated on me. Especially because I was so infatuated and so in love, I let it go, even though the tabloids seemed determined to rub my face in it,” the pop star writes. “When *NSYNC went to London in 2000, photographers caught him with one of the girls from All Saints in a car. But I never said anything. At the time we’d only been together for a year.”
Unfortunately, this was not the first time the *NSYNC singer was with another woman while they were in a relationship.
“Another time, we were in Vegas, and one of my dancers who’d been hanging out with him told me he’d gestured toward a girl and said, ‘Yeah, man, I hit that last night,’” she writes. “I don’t want to say who he was talking about because she’s actually very popular and she’s married with kids now. I don’t want her to feel bad.”
Spears says that her friend was in disbelief and she “believed Justin was only saying it because he was high and felt like bragging.”
“There were rumors about him with various dancers and groupies,” she writes. “I let it all go, but clearly, he’d slept around. It was one of those things where you know but you just don’t say anything.”

While Spears claims Timberlake cheated on her, she also admitted to have cheated on him as well.
The man that Spears cheated on Timberlake was Wade Robson. He was a dancer and choreographer who Spears recalls dancing and making out with him at a Spanish bar while she was in a relationship with Timberlake, a source told Us Weekly at the time. In the memoir, Spears does not reveal a name. The former couple decided that the incident was not going to end their relationship and they decided to “move on.” However, after the two parted ways in 2002, Timberlake released the song “Cry Me A River” which is rumored to have been about Spears' infidelity. The visual also features the lead woman with strikingly similar physical characteristics to the “Baby One More Time” singer.
“The Woman in Me” is out now.
