AceShowbiz - Justin Timberlake is reportedly not okay with the impending release of Britney Spears' first memoir "The Woman in Me". Following her shocking claims that she got pregnant with the NSYNC member and aborted their baby, his family is allegedly thrown into "chaos."
"Justin owns who he was when he and Britney were together, even though his personality, career, lifestyle, and personal priorities are radically different now, 20 years later," a source told The Sun. "This book is a nightmare for him because of how it throws the whole family into chaos."
"The timing stings just as much as the revelation itself," the source said, before noting that "Justin had a big fall planned with new music on deck, more work with his old friends in 'NSYNC, and of course, the next installment of the 'Trolls' franchise, which has been a huge moneymaker for Justin over the last several years."
Of how much Jessica Biel knew about Justin's past relationship with Britney, the source admitted, "I have no idea if the abortion was something he ever told Jessica about because Justin's relationship with Britney is not something he discusses with his friends."
"He's not in denial about it, but to him, this was a million years ago, Justin had closed this chapter in his life and now Britney is putting it in front of everybody again," the source said, before claiming, "This is a difficult time and Justin's usual strategy of just letting things blow over might not cut it, especially at this moment in his career when he's really trying to get back into the game in a big way."
Previously , ET reported that "Justin has been focusing on his own family and trying not to concern himself with Britney's memoir." Though their relationship ended years ago, the "SexyBack" crooner reportedly has nothing but "respect" for Britney.
The source noted, "In recent years, Justin has tried to be supportive of Britney from a distance. They dated so long ago, but he still has respect for her." The source went on revealing Justin and Jessica's wish to move past the exes' relationship as dishing, "Justin and Jessica just want everyone to grow and evolve instead of continuing to bring up the past."
In excerpts from her upcoming book "The Woman in Me", Britney claimed that Justin got her pregnant in 2000, but they decided to let go of the baby because he "wasn't ready" to be a father. "It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn't a tragedy," she wrote. "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 added of her then-boyfriend's alleged reaction, "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."
In another part of the book, the "Hold It Against Me" songstress accused Justin of cheating on her with two famous women and she retaliated by sleeping with Australian choreographer Wade Robson, who infamously accused Michael Jackson of child sexual abuse.
