Fans think Britney Spears may have dropped a hint about her abortion nearly 15 years before finally opening up about the “agonizing” decision.
Spears alleges in her upcoming memoir, “The Woman in Me,” that ex Justin Timberlake got her pregnant in 2000 when she was just 18 or 19 years old. She claims the two agreed to go through with an abortion due to their young ages at the time.
Shortly after the news was reported on Tuesday, several fans flocked to social media to point out an apparent reference to the situation in Spears’ “Everytime” music video.
At one point in the 2009 music video, a young girl flatlines in the hospital while a woman in the room next door gives birth to a healthy baby.
As Spears, now 41, walks through both rooms, she takes a moment to turn and look at each woman before continuing to sing about being trapped in an unhealthy relationship while grappling with fame.
While it’s never been /confirm/ied, fans have speculated for years that the song was about Spears’ rocky three-year romance with the *NSYNC member, 42.
“The HORRIBLE news about Britney’s abortion bc of Justin Timberlake just took Everytime music video to a whole new view,” one fan tweeted alongside a clip from the video. “She deserved better.”
“The baby in the Everytime music video was the baby Britney felt forced to abort,” another claimed. “My heart.”
“And now the ending of the Everytime music video has more context.. oh Britney
