Britney Spears Addresses Justin Timberlake’s Apology in Post About Her Book: ‘Let’s Talk About It’

usmagazine.com:

Ready to talk. Britney Spears opened up about the process of writing her upcoming book and how it has been unearthing some difficult memories for her.“I’m writing a book at the moment and as it’s actually healing and therapeutic … it’s also hard bringing up past events in my life I’ve never been able to express openly,” the “Toxic” singer, 40, wrote via Instagram on Monday, April 4, explaining that she wanted to address some recent posts about her past. “I can only imagine that I do sound childish but I was extremely young when the events took place.”She continued: “But instead of using my heart, I’m using the intellectual approach as Justin [Timberlake] did when he apologized to Janet [Jackson] and me.

Although he was never bullied or threatened by his family, he took the opportunity to apologize 20 years later!!! Timing is EVERYTHING!!!”Spears’ post appears to be referencing a February 2021 statement from the former ‘NSync member, 41, responding to the backlash he received following the release of the documentary The New York Times Presents: ‘Framing Britney Spears.’ “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 understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism,” Timberlake wrote at the time. “I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.”The Crossroads star seemed to accept her ex-boyfriend’s apology and posted an Instagram video dancing to his music, while a source told Us Weekly at the time that she “doesn’t hold a grudge”
