The Britney Spears documentary that has been headlining for the singer’s controversial conservatorship and her 2007 downfall has opened its gate to more backlashes. The documentary that covered the singer’s high-profile relationship with singer Justin Timberlake, has made people furious with the latter’s role in Britney’s story. The story didn’t do too well with making Justin appear in a good light, as it suggested Spears was shamed in the media for her behaviour when the relationship ended while Timberlake boasted about having slept with her.

Justin took to Instagram to write a public apology for Spears and also Singer Janet Jackson for his fellow Super Bowl halftime performer during the infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ incident, "because I know and respect these women and I know I failed." The documentary suggested how Justin manipulated the media narrative in his favour and Britney suffered the consequence of this. “I've seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond,” he began, referencing the backlash from Britney’s fans that have been directed at him and others. “I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right."

Timberlake further talked about how the industry’s gender bias played a big role in his actions, "I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism. I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.”
