19 years later - Justin Timberlake apologizes to Britney Spears
Justin Timberlake on Friday apologized to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson amid criticism he has received in the wake of a new documentary about his former girlfriend, the LA Times reports. The 'Framing Britney Spears' docu includes a discussion of the high-profile relationship between Spears and Timberlake and suggests Spears was shamed in the media for her behavior when the relationship ended while Timberlake boasted about having slept with her. Timberlake apologizes to both Spears and Janet Jackson, his fellow Super Bowl halftime performer during the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" incident - "because I know and respect these women and I know I failed". Timberlake was in a relationship with Spears for three years before the couple broke up in 2002, when he was 21 years old and she was 20.
