Britney Spears Apologizes for Explosive Book Claims, Praises Justin Timberlake’s New Song

Britney Spears seemingly offered an apology to ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake for the explosive details shared in her memoir.

On Sunday, the pop superstar took to Instagram to extend an olive branch to her N’SYNC ex, who was the topic of many different accounts throughout the book. In her post, Spears wrote, “I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry.”

Timberlake faced scrutiny after Spears’ claims in the book. According to the “Toxic” singer, Timberlake would use a blaccent when speaking with certain Black artists. One of the most notable people he allegedly used the exaggerated accent with was R&B performer Ginuwine. Spears also shared how she got an abortion while pregnant from Timberlake due to him not being ready for fatherhood. Shortly before “The Woman In Me” was released, several sources alleged to multiple sources that Timberlake was nervous about what Spears might reveal.

After her apology, Spears also shared some praise to Timberlake on his new music.

“Also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish.’ It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ???” she wrote.

Spears has since switched her account to private despite having over 42 million followers, though it’s unknown if the post now going viral played a role in that.
