For her post, she shared a recent clip of Justin performing with classroom instruments with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show.
‘I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry…’ she wrote.
‘I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish’ It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard ??? Ps ‘Sanctified’ is wow too’ she said.

Justin Timberlake stars in cryptic teaser for new album release

In 2018 Justin said he was so emotional following the split that he unloaded his feelings by writing Cry Me a River in just two hours.
Britney wrote about how she felt voiceless after her ex put out his top five hit, which effectively put forward his narrative of being the wronged party in their breakup.
‘I felt there was no way at the time to tell my side of the story,’ she wrote. ‘I couldn’t explain, because I knew no one would take my side once Justin had convinced the world of his version. I don’t think Justin realized the power he had in shaming me. I don’t think he understands to this day.’
Britney also revealed she got pregnant by Justin in 2000 with the singer undergoing an abortion because the N*Sync star ‘didn’t want to be a father.’
The Toxic hitmaker detailed the ‘agonizing’ decision to terminate the pregnancy after conceiving in late 2000 when the pair were both 19.
The star claimed while she wanted the baby and ‘dreamed of having a family’ with Justin, he ‘wasn’t ready’ for the responsibilities of parenthood and thought the pair were too young.
She wrote: It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated.
‘He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to have the baby.

Britney Spears makes another cheeky dig at ex Justin Timberlake

‘I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father.’
She went on to accuse Justin of cheating on her during their three-year relationship.
Britney didn’t name the person the hitmaker allegedly cheated on her with, referring to her as ‘another celebrity.’
Justin appeared to reference the criticism while performing at the opening of the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas last month.
Ahead of launching into Cry Me A River, he told the audience: ‘No disrespect.’

A source close to Spears then told Daily Mail that while she ‘appreciates’ that he acknowledged the controversy around the Grammy-winning song, she has yet to have him address her personally.
‘The disrespect to Britney was done a long time ago and although she appreciates his acknowledgement of it, Justin has never called her personally or reached out to her personally to apologize,’ the insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘He has never addressed this with her. Ever. Britney has moved on from this and writing her book allowed her to release it. She’s good.’
It was previously reported that Justin wanted to refrain from speaking out on the allegations so as not to ‘get in the way’ of Britney’s chance to finally share her story.
