Now when mentioning Britney Spears, how many people will immediately remember the image of the young, pretty Pop princess?
Back in the late 90s, one of the most replayed songs in the music players of middle and high school students was Baby one more time by Britney Spears. This song is included in the female singer’s debut album, released in January 1999.
The success of Baby one more time brought the name Britney Spears to light. She was considered the savior, reviving the entire teen-pop music genre that was on the decline at that time. Therefore, it is not strange that music lovers around the world call Britney Spears “Pop princess”.
But unfortunately, this princess’s life is not as happy or easy as the soft love songs she sings.
Britney Spears was still a “pop princess”
2007 – Around the time the press began reporting that Britney had a mental disorder, an editor at People magazine told the Today show that Britney had been battling both bipolar disorder and postpartum depression. Mirror page reported that Britney was prescribed Prozac – a drug to treat depressive disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and neurological disorders, but Britney did not take it regularly. This is said to be the reason why Britney’s behavior is increasingly difficult to control.
And since then, the life of the Pop princess gradually went downhill.
The men turned the “princess” into a psychotic woman
Male singer Justin Timberlake is the first lover with whom the Pop princess publicly announced her relationship. At that time, this was a well-matched love story that won the hearts of fans on both sides. The couple started dating in 1999 when Britney was 17 years old and broke up in 2002.
In Britney’s upcoming memoir The Woman in Me , there is an excerpt revealed, causing a love affair that has been dormant for more than a decade to suddenly “come back to life”.
“I love Justin very much. I always hope that one day, we will have a family together. Justin is definitely not happy about my pregnancy. He says that we are not ready to have children, that we are so young. I’m sure everyone will hate me but I agreed not to have children. I don’t know if it was the right decision or not.
To date, it is one of the most painful things I have ever experienced.” – Excerpt revealed in the memoir of the former Pop princess.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were still in love
The information revealed in this memoir makes the public even more certain when affirming that Justin Timberlake is one of the men who pushed the “Pop princess” into a pit of despair throughout her life.
But it wasn’t Justin Timberlake’s first love, Jamie Spears – The biological father of the “Pop princess” was the man who ruined her life. Britney once posted a video about her childhood being abused and beaten by her father. The singer’s past scandals were all arranged by him, from the singer’s hospitalization for psychological treatment to the custody battle over her children, all with his intervention.
