Britney, who wasthen 21-year-old, emotionally responded to his claims during her interview with a US TV, insisting: "I think everyone has a side of their story, to make them feel a certain way."
The singer added: "I'm not technically saying he's wrong. But I'm not technically saying he's right either."
She explained: "I was upset, I was upset for a little while. I think we were both really young.
"And it was kind of waiting to happen. I will always love him. He will always have a special place in my heart. He's such a great person."
When asked how it felt to split from Justin, Britney's eyes reportedly brimmed with tears as she replied: "Yeah, it was kind of weird. Weird. Hello. Um, oh my goodness."
