Britney Spears has revealed that she was devastated when Justin Timberlake broke up with her through text message.
The 41-year-old pop megastar – who finally admitted to cheating with choreographer Wade Robson – wrote about the end of her relationship with the 42-year-old Trolls star and how the split affected her.
The New York Times reported that the Everytime hitmaker wrote in her upcoming memoir The Woman In Me: ‘I was comatose in Louisiana, and he was happily running around Hollywood.’
They also report that the former child star had called out the media for portraying her as a ‘harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy’ after the release of Justin’s Cry Me A River music video.
However, this does come after Britney had finally admitted to cheating on the NSYNC member with the dancer Wade Robson following years of hearsay.

The pop star, 41, is getting candid about her private life in the pages of her new memoir The Woman In Me, set for release on October 24.
It was rumoured Britney and Justin split up in 2002 after three years of dating because she had a fling with Australian choreographer Wade.
Justin later released his famous single Cry Me A River which includes lyrics that allude to being cheated on.
According to The US Sun, Britney confirms in her memoir that she kissed Wade during a night out.
She wrote: ‘We were out one night and we went to a Spanish bar. We danced and danced. I made out with him that night.’
Britney also writes that she was loyal to Justin for years ‘with that one exception’.
The star revealed she told Justin about her kiss with Wade and they were able to move past it and stay together.
In 2001, Wade choreographed her iconic Oops… I Did It Again and I’m A Slave 4 U music videos as well as her Live from Las Vegas concert special.

Britney said of the choreographer on Good Morning America in 2000: ‘He’s just like a child prodigy, seriously… He’s a genius. He’s amazing.’
Yet their relationship was short lived and Britney and Wade had split within the year.
Wade largely stayed out of the limelight in the aftermath but resurfaced in the 2019 Leaving Neverland documentary in which he detailed the alleged abuse he suffered as a child by Michael Jackson.
It comes after Britney revealed she had an abortion during her relationship with Justin when she was just 19 years old.

The star claimed that while she wanted the baby and ‘dreamed of having a family’ with Justin, who was also 19 at the time, he ‘wasn’t ready’ for the responsibilities of parenthood and thought the pair were too young.
She writes in an excerpt obtained by People: ‘It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. 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.
‘He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.
‘I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.
The star said the abortion was ‘one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life’ in the memoir.
