Transcript

00:00 According to sources, Justin Timberlake is concerned about his ex-girlfriend Britney

00:04 Spears' upcoming memoir.

00:06 Multiple sources told Page Six the NSYNC alum is definitely feeling the heat.

00:14 Former couple Britney and Justin Timberlake dated in 2002 and all of their relationship

00:18 may come out in Britney's new book, The Woman in Me.

00:21 Many are interested, including myself, to see the details be shared in the book, including

00:25 Timberlake who is very curious from what she'll reveal from their relationship.

00:29 Insiders claim that the Crimea River crooner is apparently on the edge of what the Toxic

00:35 singer has to say about their romantic relationship the two shared many years ago.

00:39 According to one source, "it's eating at him."

00:42 As of late, an Us Weekly report claimed the book was "going after Timberlake hard,"

00:47 but one insider claims "it's not a takedown."

00:49 An insider told Page Six, "This is Britney finally getting a chance to tell her empowering

00:54 story and it's nothing more than that."

00:56 As many recall, Timberlake and Spears had a high-profile breakup back in the day, with

01:01 Timberlake even sharing with Barbara Walters that he made a pact with Spears.

01:05 However, the singer did not specifically say why the two went their separate ways.

01:09 However, when Timberlake was pressed about a rumor that Spears had cheated on him, Timberlake

01:13 really just didn't try to clear her name.

01:16 Spears also did not give a firm answer when pressed on Diane Sawyer what she had done

01:20 wrong in the relationship during their TV sit-down the following year.

01:24 Spears and Timberlake famously released breakup anthems at the time as well, but many wonder

01:28 if Spears will be giving any details on the split in her new book.

01:32 And yes, as many do remember, Spears and Timberlake eventually moved on.

01:36 However, a documentary from the New York Times aired in 2021 titled "Framing Britney Spears,"

01:41 which brought up the "sexy-backed" singer's controversial comments regarding Britney.

01:45 Timberlake faced a large amount of backlash and was forced to issue an apology to his

01:49 former girlfriend.

01:50 At the time, Timberlake stated, "I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions

01:54 contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn or did not speak up for what was

01:58 right."

01:59 But Timberlake didn't stop there.

02:00 He also wanted to address how the past was something he could not take back and indeed

02:04 would do better.

02:05 Justin wanted to mention, "I know this apology is a first step and doesn't absolve the past."

02:10 He also stated, "I want to take accountability for my own missteps in all of this.

02:14 I can do better, and I will do better."
