Spears and Timberlake dated for several years before their breakup in 2002.

In her memoir, Spears wrote that the video shattered her.

“The truth: I was comatose in Louisiana, and he was happily running around Hollywood.

The “Circus” singer says she felt like the entire world had sided with Timberlake over their split.

I don’t think Justin realized the power he had in shaming me.

I don’t think he understands to this day.”
