She added at the time, “I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!! You’re supposed to be loved unconditionally … not under conditions !!!! So I will be as strong as I can and do my best !!!”

In the memoir, Spears also shared details of past romances with people like Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline.

Spears poked at Federline’s former ‘rap career’ and even explained her true feelings being with Timberlake.

Looking back, the Grammy winner wrote that “both Justin and Kevin were very clever” and she “never knew how to play the game.”

“I was truly innocent—just clueless,” Britney said in her book. “So I was young, and I made a lot of mistakes. But I will say this: I wasn’t manipulative. I was just stupid.”

“I used to trust people,” she explained. “But after the breakup with Justin and then my divorce, I never really did trust people again.”
