Following the shocking revelation, fans of the pop singer did a deep dive into her archives in search of clues related to her pregnancy and abortion.

The popular X account Pop Crave resurfaced video footage of Britney, 41, performing her 2003 hit single Everytime.

While singing the emotional ballad, she appeared to hold her stomach.

Some viewers seemed to think her hand-positioning was her way of sending a silent message about what she was going through at the time.

In the replies, commenters expressed empathy toward the pop singer.

One wrote: “Painful watching this after [watching] her interview.”

“It’s really painful to watch her touching her stomach after hearing her interview about her baby,” a second fan reacted.

A third sympathized: “That lyrics made me cry. It’s about her baby.”

“This actually made me tear up,” someone else claimed.

Others simply replied with crying and heart emojis.

BOOK BOMBSHELL

As fans expected, Britney’s memoir contains a number of bombshell revelations.

The singer spoke at length about her high-profile relationship with Justin, revealing her abortion and much more.

In addition to the baby news, the Grammy winner claimed that her N*Sync frontman ex cheated on her.

The news comes decades after he claimed that she was unfaithful to him.

Britney and the Cry Me a River singer dated from 1999 to 2002.

In the book, she alleged that he was spotted with another woman – also a pop singer – during their relationship.

She declined to name the woman, claiming she had a family.

A deep dive by Page Six suggests that the woman was All Saints singer Nicole Appleton.

She and Justin were spotted together in 2000, according to a resurfaced newspaper clipping that showed the dup ducking in the backseat of a car in a failed attempt to hide from onlooking photographers.

Nicole and Justin were also seen walking from the Mayfair Club to the St. Martins Lane Hotel.

The article noted that Britney and Justin were still dating at the time.

LEGAL THREATS

While it’s been reported that Justin and his current wife Jessica Biel are “reeling” from the memoir revelations, it’s been reported that the singer was prepared.

He and Britney’s other alleged famous ex, Colin Farrell, got lawyers ahead of The Woman in Me’s October 24 release date.

The pair threatened to sue Britney if she didn’t keep intimate details about their lives from her book.

A source told The U.S. Sun exclusively: “Lawyers demanded to see her book in advance and were adamant that some of the revelations were removed.

“There are still plenty of gobsmacking tales but Justin and Colin were conscious about what could be said about them.

“The legal process meant the publication was held up by four months as discussions went back and forth about what could be included. But that has finally now been settled and her autobiography is all ready to go.”

Britney’s rumored to have dated Colin in 2003 but he denied they were ever a couple.
