Britney Spears, still hurt by Justin Timberlake’s onstage mocking, is reportedly annoyed by her ex’s actions after she publicly apologized in her 2023 memoir, The Woman In Me.

In late January, Spears took to Instagram to express her apologies, accompanied by admiration for Timberlake’s single, Selfish. However, Timberlake responded by declaring that he was not sorry to anyone and performed the song Cry Me a River, which is speculated to be about Spears’ infidelity.

Spears quickly responded to Timberlake’s remark on Instagram, expressing her frustration and referencing the time he cried when she beat him at basketball.

One month after the incident, a source revealed that Spears was deeply affected by Timberlake’s remarks. The insider also mentioned that the turning point of her mental issues began when Timberlake broke up with her.

The source further revealed that Spears had envisioned a future with Timberlake, hoping they would be together and have children. The breakup shook her world and caused a shift in her mental state.

Before Timberlake made fun of her apology, Spears and Timberlake seemed to be moving forward. The source stated that the remark triggered her and those close to her wished Timberlake would have handled the situation differently, considering the impact it has on her recovery.

Overall, Timberlake’s actions have only added to Spears’ frustrations and have hindered her journey towards healing and self-discovery.
