Britney Spears’ high school boyfriend, Donald “Reg” Jones, does not have kind words for Justin Timberlake.
Add Britney Spears’ high school boyfriend to those bashing her one-time celebrity flame, Justin Timberlake.
In an exclusive interview with The Post, Donald “Reg” Jones went scorched earth on the *NSYNC heartthrob — who had a “toxic” relationship with his dream queen, according to Spears’ new memoir, “The Woman in Me.”
“Any man that is gonna ask a woman to have an abortion? Then he is a piece of s–t in my book,” Jones, 45, railed from his home in McComb, MS.
Spears claimed Timberlake got her pregnant in the early 2000s, but the pair decided to proceed with an abortion because he didn’t want to be a father.
Timberlake has turned the comments off on his Instagram profile amid Spears’ bombshell allegations against him.
Jones advised the “Cry Me a River” crooner and ex “Mickey Mouse Club” star to “f–kin’ man up!”
Spears dated the “Sexyback” singer from 1999 to 2002, right after breaking up with Jones, who is now a divorced and “currently single” landscaper.
Spears and Jones dated from 1996 to 1998 after Spears left “The Mickey Mouse Club.”
“She didn’t want to go do Hollywood. She’d been there dancing, singing long enough. And she was just wanting to be normal and live a normal life and go to high school, and stay datin’ me I guess. Whatever,” Jones said.
“But as far as the Hollywood, that crap? Look at the road it took her down,” he said. “My heart goes out to her.”
Jones also had no bouquets for Britney’s mom, Lynne Spears.
“Britney and I were arranged to date. Her Mama got me to go out with her. Her mama got us to break up. Her mama controlled all aspects of her life. We just didn’t see it at the time. Every aspect you can imagine, she’d control,” Jones charged.
Jones confessed he still carries a torch for the “Gimme More” superstar he dated back in high school at the Parklane Academy.
He suggested she leave the past behind and return to her Mississippi roots — with him.
“I would just be ears for her and make her laugh. If she wants to talk about [the past] — fine. I’m not here to talk about that lifestyle. I want her to be back in the normal life. The normal mindframe.”
Jones said he believes Spears would be better off if she spent time with “the people that have known you since way back when and let them help if they want to help you. You know what I’m saying?”
The former Britney beau was asked what he brings to the table.
