Justin Timberlake got a taste of his own medicine when ex-girlfriend Britney Spears replied to him in brutal fashion.

From kickstarting their careers in The Mickey Mouse Club, and finding love as teenagers, to unfortunately breaking up in 2002, few have shared history like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Over the years and their relationships with other partners, the two singers have constantly been in each other’s lives albeit not in the most positive way.

While Timberlake’s Cry Me A River was claimed by Spears to have been an anthem publicizing their split, the Toxic singer revealed controversial details about her ex-boyfriend in her memoir The Woman in Me for which she later apologized. Now, in the latest clash between the two celebrities, Spears was triggered into giving a scathing response after Timberlake seemingly took a dig at her apology during a recent concert.

With a complicated history symbolized by love and loss, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake have made social media work over time. The two ex-lovers have not always shared the most pleasant relationship after their split. While Spears believed that Timberlake’s hit single Cry Me A River was his response to their past, the Gimme More singer also did not shy away from bringing The Social Network star into her memoir The Woman in Me.

While the book sparked a lot of debate regarding their relationship, Spears went on to apologize to Timberlake for using his name in her personal confessions. But the N’Sync singer seemed to resurrect the past at a recent concert when he seemingly took a dig at this apology from the Oops!… I did it again artist.

Britney Spears had a fitting reply to Justin Timberlake’s recent comment at a concert.

Timberlake echoed the viral quote by UFC fighter Conor McGregor following a public showdown with his competitor Eddie Alvarez after the latter demanded an apology from him for his comments. The Friends with Benefits star in a quote that appeared on Page Six, seemed to make a telling reference to Spears just before singing Cry Me A River.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize, to absolutely f***ing nobody.”

The Hit Me Baby One More Time singer has proved that she is not one to back down from a spat. Without using any names, Spears took to Instagram  (via EW) to give a brutal reply to Timberlake’s comment and made her stance extremely clear.

“Someone told me someone was talking s**t about me on the streets!!! Do you want to bring it to court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time ??? I’m not sorry !!!”

Looking at the way that things are going down with both celebrities, it seems that Elton John and Blue were speaking the truth when they sang ‘Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word’ all those years ago!

Britney Spears’ Memoir Made Her Exes Uneasy

Britney Spears can be widely considered as controversy’s child with a life that has been defined by a lot of ups and downs. Her explosive memoir titled The Woman In Me detailed a lot of confessions from the singer including personal revelations about her exes. Apart from her very public love affair and split with Justin Timberlake, Spears also briefly dated Irish actor Colin Farrell.

According to inside sources quoted in The Sun, the Toxic singer’s exes were reportedly uneasy about their personal relationships with Spears becoming public property and took necessary steps to protect their name.

“Lawyers demanded to see her book in advance and were adamant that some of the revelations were removed. There are still plenty of gobsmacking tales but Justin and Colin were conscious about what could be said about”.

The source further stated that all the issues regarding the memoir were settled, with both Farrell and Timberlake satisfied with the final outcome. The Woman in Me had its official release on the 24th of October, 2023, and has expectedly created quite a few talking points since then.
