Justin Timberlake Apologizes to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson

For the first time since the release of The New York Times documentary, “Framing Britney Spears,” Justin Timberlake has spoken out in response to recent backlash for the role some say he played in the media’s portrayal of Britney. The pair dated as teens for several years during the peak of their careers. He did not specifically cite any specific examples of his actions. Spears is currently in the midst of a conservatorship battle with her father, who has held control over the pop stars' finances, career, and well-being since 2008.
