Shocking new claims about Britney Spears!
Just when Britney Spears’ life appears to be back on track, along comes a scathing new book that details the pop stars’ pregnancy scares, suicidal thoughts and bouts with substance abuse. “More than once, Britney was absolutely convinced that she was pregnant when she was with Justin Timberlake,” claims Steve Dennis in his explosive new biography, Britney: Inside the Dream. “The scares turned out to be false alarms, but they showed how serious the relationship was,” Dennis tells Life & Style about the ex-couple’s not-so-chaste relationship, which lasted from 1998 to 2002.
Another startling charge is that Britney, 27, chugged five cocktails after finding out she was pregnant with her and Kevin Federline’s second child, Jayden. “She was devastated, already suffering from postpartum depression [after having Sean], and it didn’t seem like a blessing at all,” Dennis says. “But Britney wasn’t reckless and didn’t drink or use drugs during the rest of her pregnancy.”
And while Dennis believes the “Womanizer” singer’s drug and alcohol abuse has been exaggerated, her depression was real, he says: “I think Britney told people she felt it would be easier to never wake up again. I think her family believed Britney was reckless enough to take her own life, but I don’t believe there was ever a serious attempt.”
