Britney Spears sharply rebutted an apparent slight from her former partner, Justin Timberlake, in an Instagram post, sharing a graphic of a basketball hoop alongside a pointed message.
Britney Spears in newly shared post: “Someone told me someone was talking shit about me on the streets !!! Do you want to bring it to the court, or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time ??? I’m not sorry !!!”
Timberlake, 43, recently indirectly criticized Spears at a New York City performance. He declared, “My apologies to absolutely no one,” before singing “Cry Me a River,” a track believed to be about their past relationship and Spears’ alleged infidelity.
The audience and online community reacted swiftly to Timberlake’s remarks, with responses ranging from criticism to disbelief.
The discord traces back further, with Spears disclosing in her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” her decision to terminate a pregnancy during their relationship, a choice influenced by Timberlake’s reluctance to fatherhood.
In a turn of events, Spears recently lauded Timberlake’s new release, “Selfish,” despite their turbulent past. She apologized for any memoir-related hurt and praised the single, stating, “I’m captivated by ‘Selfish.’ It’s excellent.”
Her commendation followed a campaign by her supporters to boost her song “Selfish” over Timberlake’s similarly titled track.
This back-and-forth keeps the public and press engrossed in their ongoing saga. Spears appears to be reaching out for reconciliation while defending herself against negative comments, indicating that the drama between her and Timberlake continues.
