Justin Timberlake’s Troubled History with Female Pop Stars Resurfaces
Despite Justin Timberlake’s deserved fame, his past connections with female pop stars paint a controversial picture. Presently, he faces intense criticism for allegedly cheating on Britney Spears during their relationship. Additionally, Spears accused the *NSYNC member of pressuring her to undergo an abortion when she became pregnant by him for selfish reasons, ultimately ending their relationship through a text message. Moreover, there’s the infamous Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2004, where his performance with Janet Jackson led to the unintended exposure of her breast, significantly impacting her career.
New sources claim that Britney Spears and Janet Jackson have connected over the distressing experiences they allegedly endured at the hands of Justin Timberlake and now support each other in solidarity, according to reports from the Daily Mail. An unnamed source reportedly told The Mirror, “Both felt he had a lot to gain by tearing them both down. Janet and Britney are still bonded by the backlash, and Janet has reached out to offer her support and encouragement.” Spears, in her memoir “The Woman In Me,” pointed out how Timberlake capitalized on their relationship through his solo career, particularly the song “Cry Me A River,” portraying himself as an industry hero while painting her in a negative light.
“Britney was appalled by the treatment of Janet Jackson during the Super Bowl,” the anonymous source continued. “[She] felt similarly attacked by the same public relations tactics that belittled her. They had numerous private discussions during that period, which have resurfaced recently. They share a common experience, and Janet wanted Britney to know she stands in solidarity with her.”
Meanwhile, in response to the recent backlash, Timberlake disabled comments on his Instagram and took a trip to Cabo San Lucas with his family. Previously, following a 2021 documentary about Spears, he expressed regret for his past actions. “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn or did not speak up for what was right. I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know that I failed.” For the latest updates on Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake, stay tuned.
