For two decades there has been gossip surrounding Spears and choreographer Wade Robson, who was creating dances for all of the hot musical acts of that era — it was an MTV fever dream. There have always been whispers about Spears and Robson hooking up while she was dating Timberlake, and she has reportedly acknowledged that the story is indeed true. The tryst happened at a Spanish bar, according to an US Weekly source, and it only went as far as a make-out session on the dance floor.

Somehow, the *NSYNC member found out about the transgression, but the duo “agreed to move past” the incident because she “only had eyes” for Timberlake. Of course, fans all know that the boy bander didn’t get over it and leveraged the moment for his solo career — and that’s how we got the 2003 single and music video, “Cry Me a River.” In the video, a Spears doppelgänger appears to be unfaithful to Timberlake, and fans ate it up.

At the time, Spears shared her feelings with Rolling Stone about her ex’s “controversial” song, “He got what he wanted. I think it looks like such a desperate attempt, personally. But that was a great way to sell the record. He’s smart.” It’s clear from the excerpts released in People that the former young couple’s relationship was toxic with their cheating scandals (Timberlake’s alleged affair partner has fans guessing all over the internet) and a pregnancy that ended in an abortion. It gives a more nuanced look at Spears’ life and how the narrative worked against her for much of her successful career. Let’s just say that it’s going to be a heartbreaking read.
