Spears' vibrant posts come shortly after news broke of Timberlake's legal troubles from a DWI arrest.
The incident reignited public interest in a 2007 video where Timberlake appeared to caution Spears about her drinking habits during a Brit Awards acceptance speech.
“Stop drinking. You know who you are, I’m speaking to you. Stop drinking, you’re gonna get sloppy, OK is gonna say something bad about you,” Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) said to @BritneySpears in 2007.

Justin Timberlake's recent arrest for suspected drunk driving in the Hamptons has shed light on his struggles amidst mounting public pressure and personal turmoil. The 43-year-old singer was apprehended early Tuesday, June 18, after swerving out of his lane and running a stop sign, according to court records.
Insiders have revealed that Timberlake has been turning to alcohol more frequently to escape the criticism following the release of Britney Spears' explosive memoir.
The memoir, which includes severe accusations against Timberlake, has reportedly taken a toll on his mental health. The 'SexyBack' singer has been accused of encouraging Spears to get an abortion during their relationship in the early 2000s, among other allegations.
The increased drinking has also reportedly affected Timberlake's professional life.
Sources claim that he has shown up at tour rehearsals smelling strongly of alcohol several times. Timberlake is currently on a global tour, with upcoming stops in New York City.
The pressure to maintain his status in the top 10 and compete with popular musicians like Harry Styles has added to his stress.
