Justin Timberlake’s apparent taunt at Britney Spears backfired

At a show at Irving Plaza in New York City on January 31, Timberlake reportedly said, “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f**king nobody,” as he went on to sing ‘Cry Me a River’.

The 2002 song was reportedly about the ‘Toxic’ hitmaker cheating on him when they were together.

Now as per a source, reported by Daily Mail, “Justin is really not happy how things have gone down.”

They further shared, “He wanted the music to speak for itself but that's clearly not happening. His comments on stage have only added fuel to the fire.”

The tipster spilled, “The idea of a sit-down chat with someone like Oprah Winfrey was floated months ago and is now back on the cards,” before adding, “He really doesn't want to do it but the louder the backlash gets the more he feels he may have to.”

Social media feels Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears should move on

Meanwhile, the whole Timberlake-Spears drama has grabbed the attention of the online community with a user on Facebook commenting, “Don’t do it. She will find a way to sensationalise it and twist it.”

Another user wrote, “He actually doesn’t do many interviews outside of being on Fallon once in a while, so this would be interesting 👀.”

“Well Jessica Biel has to be in favor, and maybe she is pushing it, bc there is no way it would fly without wifey being okay with it,” one shared, 

A user stated, “Another sit down so he can cry and play a victim again? Smh.”

One user added, “They should both move on but as long as fans encourage both their immature behavior nothing is going to change.”
