What happens doesn’t always come back.
Justin Timberlake apparently shot his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears during his “One Night Only” birthday concert at Irving Plaza in New York City on Wednesday.
“I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely no one,” the *NSYNC alum told the audience before singing his 2002 hit “Cry Me a River,” which was inspired by the pop star who cheated on him during their relationship. .
Several people flocked to social media to criticize Timberlake, 43, for shading the “Gimme More” singer, 42, just two days after she publicly praised his new single, “Selfish.”
“What an idiot!” an user commented on a clip of the “Mirrors” singer’s pseudo-apology.
“Nooooo, he doesn’t traaaassssh,” wrote another.
One viewer commented with several vomit emojis, while another posted tomato emojis.
Others jumped to Timberlake’s defense, with one even telling the former boy bander: “You don’t have to do it, Justin. She is the bad person and her fans are horrible people!
Timberlake came under fire in October 2023 after Spears revealed in her memoir, “The Woman in Me,” that she had an abortion while they were dating because he was “not happy” with the pregnancy and “didn’t want to be a father.” .”
The Princess of Pop issued a mea culpa on Monday to anyone she “offended” with her bomb-filled book, writing in a since-deleted Instagram post: “I am deeply sorry.”
She then extended an olive branch specifically to Timberlake, adding, “I also wanted to say that I’m in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song, ‘Selfish.’
“It’s so good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy (Fallon) together I laugh so much???”
Spears even praised another of her ex’s new songs, writing, “Ps, ‘Sanctified’ is amazing too.”
The “Crossroads” star unexpectedly showered Timberlake with praise after his fan base became enraged and bought into his 2011 song “Selfish” to prevent Timberlake’s new single of the same name from topping the charts.
His song entered the Top 40 of the US iTunes chart last Thursday and reached No. 1 on Friday as his song fell from the top spot to No. 3.
The music superstars began dating in 1999 and broke up in 2002.
At the time, Timberlake implied that Spears had cheated on him, which she neither confirmed nor denied.
However, in her memoir, the “Toxic” singer admitted that she had cheated on the “Trolls” star “once” with dancer and choreographer Wade Robson.

Timberlake’s treatment of Spears was previously explored in the 2021 New York Times documentary “Framing Britney Spears,” prompting the “SexyBack” singer to publicly apologize to his ex.
Later that year, he also supported Spears after she appeared in court over her “abusive” 13-year conservatorship, which officially ended in November.
Timberlake married Jessica Biel in 2012 and they share two sons: Silas, 8, and Phineas, 3.
Meanwhile, Spears is currently going through a divorce from Sam Asghari. She shares two sons, Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
