After publically apologizing in her 2023 memoir, The Woman In Me, Britney Spears is said to be irritated by her ex’s behavior, as she is still stung by Justin Timberlake’s onstage taunting.
Spears apologized on Instagram in late January and showed her appreciation for Timberlake’s song “Selfish.” In response, Timberlake sang the song Cry Me a River—which is rumored to be about Spears’ infidelity—and declared that he was not sorry to anyone.
Spears expressed her displeasure and brought up the moment he sobbed after she defeated him in a basketball game in her swift Instagram response to Timberlake’s remark.
A month after the event, a source disclosed that Timberlake’s comments had a profound impact on Spears. The insider also revealed that her breakup with Timberlake marked a turning point in her mental health problems.
Britney Spears believed she would be “together forever and have children” with Justin Timberlake.
The insider also disclosed that Spears had imagined a future in which she would be with Timberlake and that they would have kids. Her world fell apart and her mental state changed as a result of the split.
Spears and Timberlake appeared to be making progress until Timberlake made light of her apology. According to the source, she was offended by the comment and many who knew her hoped Timberlake had handled things better because of the effect it would have had on her recuperation.
All things considered, Timberlake’s acts have only made Spears more irate and impeded her path to recovery and self-discovery.
