“I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed,” Timberlake said.
During Framing Britney Spears, an installment of the New York Times Presents docuseries, Timberlake is mentioned as one of the many people who contributed to a negative media portrayal of Spears.
On the heels of FX’s Framing Britney Spears documentary, and a subsequent wave of backlash against him, singer Justin Timberlake has offered a mea culpa for his role in Spears’ struggles.
“Everyone involved deserves better… this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow from,” Timberlake continued.
