It is memoir season and clearly the marketing has been on point because its been bombshell after bombshell, and no, this post isn’t about Jada, but Britney Spears who is not that far behind her when it comes to shocking revelations.
In her soon-to-be-released memoir, “The Woman In Me,” Britney Spears delves into her fleeting relationship with Colin Farrell during the early 2000s. Reflecting on the time just after her highly publicized breakup with singer Justin Timberlake and a year before her marriage to Kevin Federline, Spears characterizes the experience as “a two-week brawl.”
“Brawl is the only word for it,” Spears says, according to Time. “We were all over each other, grappling so passionately it was like we were in a street fight.”
Britney recounts meeting the actor during the production of the 2003 action movie S.W.A.T after she was grappling with her break up from Timberlake. Britney claims that Justin had hooked up with “six or seven girls” following the demise of their relationship, and she was still not over him, “He was a girl’s dream. I was in love with him.” Thus, she decided it was time to move on and, Farrell fell into the picture prior to her marriage to Federline.
When Farrell was 26, he and Spears went public with their relationship, attending the January 2003 premiere of his film The Recruit together. In her book, Spears reveals her attempts to prevent herself from becoming overly attached to Farrell while still emotionally dealing with her feelings for Timberlake.
“As I had before when I’d felt too attached to a man, I tried to convince myself in every way that it was not a big deal, that we were just having fun, that in this case I was vulnerable because I wasn’t over Justin yet,” she writes in the memoir.
At the premiere, Farrell spoke to reporters and claimed they were not dating. “We’re not dating,” he said according to Entertainment Weekly. “She’s a sweet, sweet girl. There’s nothing going on — just mates.”
While things didn’t work out between the two, Britney was hopeful at the time.
She writes that “for a brief moment in time, I did think there could be something there. The disappointments in my romantic life were just one part of how isolated I became. I felt so awkward all the time.”
