Korean Netizens React To Britney Spears’s Recent Abortion Story
Britney Spears, the global pop sensation, has always been an open book when it comes to her life’s trials and tribulations. Yet, in her latest memoir, The Woman in Me, she revealed a heart-wrenching secret she’s carried for two decades.
Sending shockwaves through the pop world, Spears shared that while in a relationship with fellow pop star Justin Timberlake, she became pregnant and subsequently had an abortion — a revelation confirmed by PEOPLE.
In her memoir, Spears pens her thoughts upon finding out the shocking news.
It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t 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 further delves into Timberlake’s reaction, noting his reluctance towards the idea of becoming a father at a young age.
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. 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.

Describing the experience, Spears goes on to share what it was like to go through with the abortion.
To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life.

Some netizens have even gone so far as to question his character and integrity based on Spears’ revelations.
