Social Media Unhappy With Timbaland For Joking That Justin Timberlake Should “Put A Muzzle” On Britney Spears After Recent Headlines

Social media is not pleased with Timbaland’s recent comments about Britney Spears.

The producer recently conducted an interview with 9th Wonder that took place before a live audience at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. When an attendee began to pose a question about Justin Timberlake’s 2002 Timbaland-produced hit, “Cry Me A River,” the producer stopped him to make a somewhat cringy joke about the song currently being the talk of social media since the release of Spears’ new memoir, “The Woman In Me.”

“She going crazy, right? I wanted to call and say, ‘JT, you gotta put a muzzle on that girl,'” Timbaland said, which caused the audience to erupt in laughter. 

In her new book, Spears recalled getting an abortion while pregnant by Timberlake and also how they both cheated during their young romance. Years later, Spears was placed in a strict conservatorship, which rendered her unable to control much of her life for 13 years. Therefore, Timbaland’s comments about “putting a muzzle” on Spears appeared a bit tone-deaf and didn’t sit well with her fans online.

Timbaland is gross. https://t.co/hWtMCTR0gc

If you see Timbaland talking shit about Britney Spears it’s because she refused to work with him in 2006 after he begged her to work with him.
She chose Danja instead and was executive producer of her own album, making history with “Blackout”. pic.twitter.com/P7ROhOClr0

I am irritated whenever I see a clip of Timbaland giving an interview. Saying a woman who was in a 13-year conservatorship should have a muzzle put on her because she can finally tell her story through a memoir is gross. https://t.co/Vmk8sJBKom

“She’s going crazy.”
“Put a muzzle on that girl.”

Men want to silence and isolate anyone that divulges the truth about them or their boy-buddies, especially those with a perceived disability.

Also, Timbaland declined as a producer after Aaliyah and that’s the bitter truth. https://t.co/sPzJKxYAAS

Timbaland hasn’t responded to the backlash, but it’s likely only a matter of time before he does.
