Britney Spears’ revealing memoir, The Woman In Me, is soon to be turned into a movie. It was announced on Thursday that Universal has acquired the rights.

“I’m excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made some of my favorite movies…stay tuned,” Britney confirmed.

Variety confirmed that the film will be a biopic based on her best-selling novel.

According to the report, Universal acquired the rights to the book through a highly competitive auction.

According to Chu, he would be in charge of the project. The Hollywood Reporter.

In the United States alone, the book has sold more than 2.5 million copies.

This information may come as a surprise to Justin Timberlake, who plays a major role in the memoir, as Britney makes a series of shocking claims about their romance.

The Woman In Me was full of juicy revelations about a life in the spotlight, full of ups and downs.

The book, which was released in October last year, describes her career as a pop star and the many trials and tribulations in her private life.

Britney, now 41, opened up about her romantic relationships, failed marriages, mental health issues and her controversial custody battle.

It is not yet clear which parts of the book the biopic will focus on exactly.

In the book, however, Britney reveals shocking details about the secret abortion she had at age 19, claiming she can still remember the “unbearable” pain.

The pop star opens up about her decision to terminate a pregnancy during her relationship with 42-year-old Justin Timberlake in 2000.

Britney explains how she was left ‘crying and sobbing’ after choosing to undergo the procedure at home in a desperate attempt to keep the abortion completely secret from the public and her own family.

“It was important that no one find out she was pregnant or that she had an abortion. That meant we had to do everything at home,” she wrote.

Britney describes the physical pain as “unbearable” during the procedure.

“I just kept crying and sobbing until it was over,” she says. “It went on for hours and I don’t remember how it ended, but I do remember, 20 years later, the pain of it and the fear.”

The singer made it clear that she was aware that some would judge her for her decision, but she stressed that it was a situation she never expected to experience.

She explained that she didn’t go through with the pregnancy because N*Sync star Justin wasn’t “ready” for the responsibilities of parenthood and felt the couple were too young at 19.

The Toxic singer, who was in a relationship with Justin from 1999 to 2002, describes the moment she had to make the “painful” decision after becoming pregnant in late 2000.

She wrote: ‘It was a surprise, but for me it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to start a family one day. This just happened to be much sooner than I expected.

“He said we weren’t ready for a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.

“I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it were just up to me, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure he didn’t want to be a father.”

‘Abortion was something I could never have chosen for myself, but given the circumstances, we did it anyway.’

In the book, Britney also reveals that she was raised to believe “not to have an abortion” for religious reasons and what she learned from her family.

Britney later had sons Sean Preston (18) and Jayden (17) with Kevin Federline, while Justin had sons Silas (8) and Phineas (2) with his wife Jessica Biel.
