Justin Timberlake Says “No Disrespect” Before Singing “Cry Me a River”

Britney’s memoir also gave more insight into their relationship, including allegations that she became pregnant with their child but decided to end the pregnancy.

“Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy,” she alleged in the book. “He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”

Justin hasn’t publicly commented on the book, but he issued a public apology to both Britney and his fellow Super Bowl halftime performer Janet Jackson in 2021.

“I am deeply sorry for the time 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,” he wrote in part on Instagram at the time. “I care for and respect these women and I know I failed. I also feel compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly, because this is a larger conversation that I whole heartedly want to be part of and grow from.”
