Internet accuses Justin Timberlake of 'playing victim' as Britney Spears has overshadowed his new music
LOS ANGLES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Timberlake has once again become the focus of scrutiny from Britney Spears' fans, who are criticizing him following revelations from an insider. According to the source, the 'Mirror' singer is feeling frustrated by the recent drama with his ex-girlfriend Spears, believing that it is overshadowing his new music.
Recently, Timberlake stirred controversy among Spears' fans when he delivered a defiant statement on stage before performing his song 'Cry Me a River', widely perceived to be about his breakup with the pop star.
During a free concert in New York City to celebrate his 43rd birthday, Timberlake boldly stated, “I want to apologize to absolutely f*****g nobody,” as captured in a widely circulated online video.
Fans of Spears interpret this statement as a response to her apology for the statements she made in her memoir, 'The Woman In Me', where she addressed their past relationship.
Justin Timberlake pissed after recent drama with Britney Spears
Timberlake is reportedly 'seething' over the renewed drama with his ex-girlfriend, Spears, as it continues to overshadow the release of his new music, according to an exclusive source revealed to Page Six.
The insider disclosed to Page Six, “Justin had hoped the backlash would’ve blown over by now so that he could focus on his new album, which he’s very excited about, but every day is something new."
Page Six reported that Timberlake's representative did not respond to their request for comment. The singer faced criticism in October 2023 after Spears detailed in her book, 'The Woman in Me', that she had an abortion during their relationship, stating that Timberlake "definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy" and "didn't want to be a father." Timberlake has yet to publicly address these claims.
