These developments come less than two months after he apologized to Jackson for pulling out his costume during the performance, in what they said was an accident at the time, but for which she was crucified.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Timberlake said, ‘I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson individually, because I care and respect these women and I know that I have failed.’
The apology came after he was tagged in social media posts about Spears and the campaign to free her from the guardianship held by her father.
Recently, it was featured in the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which reveals how Spears, according to her fans, was exploited by the men in her life.
