Justin Timberlake has been slammed by his own fans for his poor treatment of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.
In an excerpt of her tell-all book, The Woman In Me, Britney revealed that she fell pregnant with the Cry Me A River singer's child, but he decided they should have an abortion because they were "too young." In extracts of the book seen by People Magazine, Britney writes that her then-boyfriend "wasn't happy" when she told him she was pregnant.
She claims he said they weren't ready to be parents, which led to her ending the pregnancy. Britney writes: "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."
