I agree. But she makes him out to be a jerk about it. And on top of his cheating scandal and rumored infidelity, his reputation could use some rehabilitation.

It seems like he was a jerk boyfriend. I think he was shrewd and used Britney to propel himself to stardom. It worked. Lots of college-aged young adults have abortions.

I was living with a friend who grew up with one of his band mates while JT and Britney were dating. She was the one who pursued him, aggressively. Always thought that was funny.
It’s unfortunate that she had to deal with the pregnancy and him. It was probably for the best for everyone though.

I mean, for certain people, emotional distress can be a triggering event. It can contribute, but I doubt it "caused" her illness.

Which came first: chicken or the egg?

Sure then wrap that up.

Wow. If he didn't want to reproduce than there is a way to prevent that..right?

She wrote (with a ghost writer) her memoir. She's trying to take control of the narrative. Her sister released a book last year.

Her narrative is that of a mentally ill person who will twist the narrative to fit their agenda and make money in book sales.

Is it that hard to believe Justin was a jerk about the pregnancy when he's publicly been a jerk about other things, like bragging about taking her virginity? Or do you think the abortion is made up entirely?

I think pretty much any 20yo guy, particularly a rising pop star, would react this way. And I don't think it makes them a jerk TBH.

Idk- David and Victoria Beckham got unexpectedly pregnant in their early twenties. He genuinely loved her and was thrilled. I’m not saying people in their early twenties are generally stable enough to have kids, but they’re an example of a decent high profile couple who loved each other and made it work.

I don’t believe a single word she says.

Britney is a time bomb and she will go off - in terms of self destruction. It's tragic but it's also boring.

No one wants to watch a wasted 40 something in a bikini dancing with knives.

If she did stuff for other people. ANY other people in the world, she would warrant attention. But she doesn't.

Who cares?

It sounds like it was just one more way the people in her life didn’t think about her as a person with wants/needs/desires too.

She could have afforded two full time nannies who would raise it well but she was used to being controlled by everyone around her. She never thought for herself. Poor girl. So much talent.

+1. Good lord, I would hate to be judged now for my 20-year old behavior!

Sometimes I feel like such events such as this one, and the ultimate breakup ruined her, like she was so traumatized and couldn't move past it that it set off her mental illness. She was never the same after their breakup and wound-up spiraling over a course of several years afterwards.

JT is unlikeable in my opinion and I think probably hurt her a lot. I also think he is classless discussing having slept with her for clout on a radio show.

I had devastating breaks ups at that age.

I’m glad I wasn’t on the international stage while it was happening. With intense pressure. And a terrible family and probably she had a lack of friends.

I had friends, stability in school, goals, family, anonymity, and it was all sooo hard for me. Didn’t need an aboriton, which was in the mix for her.

One b/up at age 20, saddened me for 9 months.

One at 22, saddened me even deeper for a few months.
