We explore an important period in Britney Spears’ career in this exclusive piece, a period that was sparked by heartbreak. Video director Chris Applebaum transports us to a moment in time that permanently altered Britney’s “Overprotected” music video.
The Breakup Text That Changed Everything
Chris Applebaum, the director of the “Overprotected” music video, provides an incredible behind-the-scenes story in an exclusive clip from Impact x Nightline’s “It’s Britney” episode, which will be shown on Hulu starting on November 2. Encased in a Juicy Couture sweatsuit, it’s a story of feelings and resiliency.
Applebaum recollects, “I walk into her trailer, and Britney’s not dressed for the next scene.” “Not only is she not ready, but neither is her hair or makeup. She was wearing a Juicy Couture sweatsuit, but I could see right away that something wasn’t right. When I asked her if everything was well, she replied, “No, things are not OK because look,” holding out her flip phone and showing me the text message from her then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake that read, “It’s over.”
The Iconic Britney and Justin Relationship
Between 1999 and 2002, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were the “it” pair. Their romance was a mainstay of popular culture. ‘The Woman in Me,’ Britney Spears’ biography, revealed some startling details about their relationship. She disclosed that during their relationship, she had an abortion, which she decided to have because Justin was serious about not having children. “If it had been up to me alone, I never would have done it, and yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father,” said Britney in an emotive manner. That continues to be among the most excruciating experiences of my life.

It looked like the “Overprotected” music video shoot was done using this breakup text. “It seemed like that was the end of the video shoot, and I acknowledged that with everybody,” affirms Chris Applebaum. However, an amazing thing transpired.
“On the other hand, if you feel like you wanna get out there and show him that he just lost the best thing that he ever had, let’s do it,” Britney added. After ten to fifteen minutes, she changed and came out of her caravan. This is the Britney that the world has come to know and love.
