Britney Spears recently shared a nostalgic photograph on social media featuring herself alongside Ben Affleck and Diane Warren from the summer of 1999.
The period coincides with the celebration of her debut album ‘…Baby One More Time’ was released earlier that year in January. The image itself has been public for some time; however, Spears’s latest commentary on the events of that evening has captured attention. She intriguingly claimed to have made out with Ben Affleck that night, an assertion that she humorously remarked she had forgotten until now.
Spears admired Affleck’s acting prowess in her post, followed by the surprising revelation of their alleged encounter: “Cool pic of Ben Affleck and Diane Warren and me years ago!!! He’s such an amazing actor. Did I fail to mention I made out with Ben that night … I honestly forgot … damn that’s crazy !!!” She hinted at more stories from that night but ultimately retracted, labelling herself as a “gossip girl.”
However, the post was subsequently removed, leaving the reasons behind its deletion to speculation. This unexpected claim of a romantic link between Spears and Affleck, never before suggested by either party, emerges without corroborative evidence.
Spears, who has been openly candid in her memoir about various personal experiences, did not mention this incident in her book, raising questions about its omission if it occurred as stated.
The deletion of the post suggests a retraction of the claim, though Spears’s online reflections often stir intrigue and bewilderment among her audience.
