Justin Timberlake's Musical Comeback Overshadowed by Britney Spears Drama

According to a source, The source said, “Justin had hoped the backlash [from Spears’ memoir] would’ve blown over by now so that he could focus on his new album, which he’s very excited about, but every day is something new,” referring to where she revealed details about their relationship and an abortion she had, would have subsided by now. However, the ongoing attention is impacting his focus on promoting his upcoming album, Everything I Thought It Was.

The former NSYNC member faced criticism after Spears disclosed in her book, The Woman in Me, that she had an abortion during their relationship, citing Justin “definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy” and “didn’t want to be a father.” Justin Timberlake, 43, is yet to publicly respond to the revelations, and his representative did not provide a comment on the situation to any outlet.

Despite initial trolling from Spears' fans on Timberlake's Instagram account, which led to disabling comments, the controversy resurfaced when Timberlake released the first single, Selfish, from his upcoming album. Spears' supporters orchestrated a campaign to boost her 2011 song Toxic to No. 1 on iTunes, overshadowing Timberlake's latest musical endeavors.
