This is old news, but it’s good that Britney Spears addressed it in her memoir, The Woman In Me. Remember Wade Robson? He was THE choreographer for pop stars twenty-odd years ago. He even had his own MTV show. He was a long-time dance choreographer for Britney and they were good friends, especially in the early years of her career. When Britney was with Justin Timberlake, she “cheated” on JT with Wade.
Britney Spears is owning up to a moment of unfaithfulness during her relationship with Justin Timberlake. A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that Spears, 41, writes about a transgression with dancer and choreographer Wade Robson in her upcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, which hits shelves on Tuesday, October 24.
In the book, the insider says, Spears recalls dancing and making out with Robson, 41, at a Spanish bar while she was dating Timberlake, 42. The “Toxic” singer then shares that she and Timberlake “agreed to move past” the infidelity given the years that she was “loyal to Justin” and “only had eyes for him.”
Speculation that Spears cheated on Timberlake has been swirling since the ‘NSync star released the music video for his song “Cry Me a River” in 2003, one year after the duo parted ways.
The video, which features a Spears-lookalike model, seemed to suggest that the “Gimme More” musician had been unfaithful. Later that year, Spears told Rolling Stone that Timberlake warned her he was releasing a “controversial” video.
“He got what he wanted. I think it looks like such a desperate attempt, personally,” she told the outlet at the time. “But that was a great way to sell the record. He’s smart.”
Wade’s former girlfriend Brandi Jackson (niece of Michael Jackson) spoke about this publicly years ago, that her relationship with Wade ended when he fooled around with Britney. I seem to remember gossip about it at the time, especially with the “Cry Me a River” music video. Now, do I think that Britney only “made out” with Wade? Do I think Wade was the only one she was messing around with? I don’t know.

Wade dated MJs niece!!??? But he has been trying to sue the Jackson estate for years!
What is he suing the Jackson estate for?
He was accusing MJ of molesting him at Neverland Ranch when he was much younger.
After he testified during the criminal trial that MJ never did anything to him.
I am very sus of Wade he keeps trying to sue and keeps getting his case thrown out.
Wade went on to testify as an adult on behalf of Michael Jackson in the molestation trial, then ask to choreograph his funeral after his death. When that was denied, he started trying to sell a book on having been molested by Jackson, ultimately leading to his getting his/a story out in Finding Neverland.
Anyway, I imagine Britney messing around with Wade was a huge blow to Justin’s ego, because those two were clearly frost-tipped rivals. Dancing rivals, MJJ impersonator rivals. Who is going to make it big first rivals, what have you.
Huh? They weren’t rivals at all, they were best friends. Wade had no interest in a music career.
There’s always a weird attempt to change history when it comes to Britney.
Considering his infidelity throughout has been widely reported (Britney, Jessica, Cameron – Honorable mention to that disgusting bet concerning Jessica Simpson), this does not justify “Cry me a River”. He literally went to radio stations talking about taking her virginity.
I don’t know about the Jessica Simpson thing is can you tell me?
Back in the day him and ryan gosling has some stupid bet who could kiss her first, she wrote about it in her book
Looking at all of these pictures from the early aughts, I now suddenly understand why I had such a hard time as a pre-teen. Wow.
Funny how this post only has a few comments.
We already knew Britney cheated, Justin told us at the time and Britney never refuted it, but said there was more to it. So, all these years, while talking shit about Britney and her cheating, Justin forgot to mention his own cheating story. That’s news.
You hit the nail on the head. I do feel for Brit. I hope she can find peace.
Yeah you do see bias here a lot.
Both Britney and Justin cheated. Only difference is Britney waited 25 years to tell people, while Justin waited 25 seconds.
I wonder why she was comfortable naming Wade but not the woman Justin cheated with? I guess because the Wade rumors have been around for years. How did Justin end up keeping his sh*t so secretive while Britney’s was blasted everywhere?
I wonder if the lady is heavily lawyered up, and there’s no proof or existing speculation, so she’s not going to go there
I hope everyone remembers that the truth is frequently colored by someone’s perception of the drama.
I had never heard of this Wade guy before (but he sure does look goofy in the pic with that silly hair. Britney had a type allright….) and I thought I had paid pretty good attention to all that early aughts pop star drama.
All I have to say is that Brintey may have cheated with Wade, but I’d bet the meager contents of my bank account that Justin cheated on Britney with 10x as many people. At least 10x as many. Britney is the only one admitting to it, is all
It would not surprise me if he cheated with multiple celebrities, assistants, groupies, strippers, you name it. Girls were throwing themselves at him and JC Chasez back then.
“Cheated” shouldn’t be in quotation marks because she did cheat. I don’t care about the indiscretion of 18 or 19 year-olds, but the way JT acted/reacted since then tells us who is is. Whether Britney did or didn’t, she was discreet or at least more discreet because I didn’t follow her and didn’t hear about her flings like with JT – well let’s say she didn’t go running to the media to blab and slut shame – which she wouldn’t have been able to do anyway because she is a woman.
I don’t know if I’m imagining things but wasn’t she rumoured to have had an affair with Ben Affleck.
