Britney Spears finally spills the beans about her two-week fling with Colin Farrell in her highly-anticipated memoir The Woman In Me, which hits shelves next Tuesday.
The 41-year-old Grammy winner originally met the 47-year-old Oscar nominee through a ‘club promoter friend’ before visiting him on the set of his 2003 movie S.W.A.T. and things got steamy pretty quick.
‘Brawl is the only word for it – we were all over each other, grappling so passionately it was like we were in a street fight,’ Britney wrote in an excerpt obtained by TIME.
Spears then attended the premiere of Farrell’s movie The Recruit where he told reporters: ‘We’re not dating. She’s a sweet, sweet girl. There’s nothing going on — just mates.’
The Mississippi-born singer admitted she was still not over her three-year relationship with Justin Timberlake, whom she had met on the Florida set of The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992.
‘As I had before when I’d felt too attached to a man, I tried to convince myself in every way that it was not a big deal, that we were just having fun, that in this case, I was vulnerable because I wasn’t over Justin yet,’ Britney wrote.
‘For a brief moment in time, I did think there could be something there. The disappointments in my romantic life were just one part of how isolated I became. I felt so awkward all the time.’
