Justin Timberlake has taken some major heat over the past month. The former NSYNC boybander was painted in a negative light in his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears’ book, “The Woman In Me.” Now, the singer’s career is being impacted by the memoir.
Justin Timberlake cancels performance amid Britney Spears book backlash
Justin Timberlake has opted to cancel some of his upcoming performances amid all of the backlash he’s receiving from Britney Spears’ book. In the memoir, Spears opened up about her young romance with Timberlake. In addition to major details about their relationship, she also admitted that Justin got her pregnant. Britney confessed that she wanted to have a family with her then-boyfriend. However, he wasn’t ready to be a father. The couple then opted to have an at-home abortion to end the pregnancy.
Spears says she later regretted ending the pregnancy. She also said that Timberlake cheated on her during their high-profile relationship. His infidelity then led her to have a fling of her own. Britney says that her tryst led Justin to paint her as the villain who broke the heart of “America’s golden boy.”
Of course, Spears’ book revelations have had fans speaking out about Timberlake. Although some have supported him, such as his NSYNC bandmates, others have called him out for poor behavior.
Justin’s career comeback derailed by Britney?
Recently, Justin Timberlake had seemingly been poised for a career comeback. The singer’s new “Trolls” movie is set to be released soon. In addition, he reunited with NSYNC for a new song for the film called “Better Place.” There have also been a lot of talk that the boyband could be getting back together for a reunion tour, and fans were thrilled by the possibility.
Meanwhile, Timberlake is said to be laying low and focusing on his family amid the drama with Spears. Sources tell Entertainment Tonight that he’s ready to move on from his past.
“Justin has been focusing on his own family and trying not to concern himself with Britney’s memoir. In recent years, Justin has tried to be supportive of Britney from a distance. They dated so long ago, but he still has respect for her. Justin and Jessica just want everyone to grow and evolve instead of continuing to bring up the past.”
Only time will tell how Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears move forward after the revelations in her book. However, for now, the singer is treading lightly amid all of the drama.
