Britney vs Justin: The Breakup That Changed Everything

from Scandal Society Hosted by with Wendy Stevenson

Before Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake became two of the biggest names in pop music, they were two kids who met on The Mickey Mouse Club. Years later, they became one of the most famous celebrity couples of the early 2000s - until their relationship ended in a very public and messy breakup. From their teenage romance and Britney's shocking pregnancy revelation to "Cry Me a River," the infamous Diane Sawyer interview, Justin's solo career, and Britney's side of the story in The Woman in Me - this is the full history of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's relationship.
