On Tuesday, Britney said Justin got her pregnant and she had an abortion.

On Monday, Justin posted a preview video on his Instagram of his upcoming appearance on interview show Hot Ones.

Justin was seen drinking Pepto Bismol alongside a host of other celebrities, including Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and the rest of NSYNC.

A joking sound effect could be heard in the background saying: “Oh no”.

The video was captioned: “Preheating.”

It was thought they were to do a Hot Ones interview to promote NSYNC reuniting for the first time in 22 years.

Fans flooded the comments with accusations that he uploaded the announcement to distract the public.

“Suddenly realised why you did all this hoopla with NSYNC…. You knew this was coming. You are so self-serving dude,” commented one fan.

“It all makes sense exactly!!!!,” added another.

An angry fan commented: “Your whole career was built upon a lie! you broke a woman for money and fame, you should be ashamed of yourself.”

DATING ACCUSATIONS

Supposedly, Justin dated Britney from 1999 to 2002, having met her on the set of TV’s The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992.

Britney became pregnant around late 2000 when they were both 19, insiders claimed to TMZ.

She wanted to have Justin’s baby but felt “conflicted,” she wrote.

“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,” Britney penned, according to People.

“This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated. But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy.

“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.”

She then said she had an abortion, which was “one of the most agonizing things [she had] ever experienced in [her] life”

Britney made these claims in her upcoming memoir The Woman In Me.

TEXTING TALES

In April of last year, a music video director claimed that Justin dumped Britney by text.

Chris Applebaum, who has worked with Britney in the past, returned to Instagram and spilled some tea to fans.

“2nd time my IG acct was hacked, but I have it back after 9 months, so here’s a picture of me with Britney Spears before I grew the beard,” he started off the post.

“At some point during the 2nd shift Brit disappeared and I went to her trailer to fetch her … only to discover her BF Justin had just broken up with her via text message. (Let me recommend to any who reads this: don’t break up via text!),” Chris said.
