The falling out between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake continues to make headlines amid the release of her new song, “Selfish.”
Puteri Pop also released a song called “Selfish” in 2011 Femme Fatale album, which has charted higher than the songwriter’s new single “Cry Me A River”.
The move seemed to prompt Britney to extend an olive branch to her ex, issuing an apology on Instagram while expressing how much she loved his new song. However, the Instagram post was later deleted.

The former couple dated from 1999 to 2002, but many details of their relationship were not made public until the “Toxic” singer released her October 2023 memoir, “The Woman In Me.”
In her book, she recalled how Justin pressured her to have an abortion, even after they broke up, describing her as “a prostitute who had broken the heart of America’s golden child.”
According to an insider, Britney had no idea the backlash Justin would face after she shared her story and claimed that she “never intended for people to come after her” after releasing her story book.
“He didn’t realize how powerful his words were,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “Regarding what she said in her book, she never intended for people to go after Justin the way they did. Ultimately it was Britney’s decision to abort her baby. It was her body and if she really wanted to say no, she could have. “

The insider stated that Britney still wishes the best for Justin, although they noted that the two have not spoken since the release of his memoir.
“You will always have feelings for the first person you love,” the source said. “Justin has stood up for her before, and he didn’t want to hurt her the way he did and change people’s opinion of him… It was his story and he told it how he felt it needed to be told.”
“Justin never contacted Britney, and they didn’t have any personal conversations,” they continued. “He never apologized to her or spoke to her. That being said, the fact that Britney’s song Selfish from 13 years ago is at number one is a coincidence.”
In her since-deleted Instagram post over the weekend, Britney wrote, “I want to apologize for some of the things I wrote in my book. If I offended any of the people I really care about, I’m so sorry…”
“I also want to say I’m in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish.’ It’s so good and why every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh out loud ??? Ps ‘Sanctified’ wow too,” he added, referring to another new song Justin performed on last week’s “Saturday Night Live” episode.

In her memoir, Britney lamented the way she was portrayed by the media after their breakup. Justin released a music video for “Cry Me A River” with a model that looked suspiciously like Britney, hinting that he was unfaithful.
“I didn’t think there was any way at the time to tell my story,” Britney wrote in her memoir. “I can’t explain, because I know no one will take my side when Justin has convinced the world of his version. I don’t think Justin realized the power he had in embarrassing me. I don’t think he understood until today.”
She also revealed that she got pregnant in 2000 but decided to make the “painful” decision to end the service after Justin made it clear that he “didn’t want to be a father.”
“It’s a shock, but for me, it’s not a tragedy. I love Justin so much. I always hope we have a family together one day. This will be sooner than I expected,” he wrote. “He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were too young. I’m sure people will hate me for this, but I agreed not to give birth to the baby.”
“I don’t know if that was the right decision. If it was left up to me, I wouldn’t do it. But Justin is so sure that he doesn’t want to be a father,” he added.

Although “The Social Network” actor did not address the criticism at the time of the book’s release in October 2023, he seemed to acknowledge the backlash while performing at the opening of the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas last month. Before performing “Cry Me A River,” Justin said, “There’s no respect.”
Another source told the Daily Mail at the time that while Britney “appreciated” the gesture, she never contacted him to apologize to him.
“The disrespect to Britney was done a long time ago and while he appreciates her acknowledgment, Justin has never reached out to her personally or reached out to her personally to apologize,” the insider said.
“She has never dealt with this with him. Ever,” they added. “Britney has moved on from this and writing her book allowed her to get it out. He’s good.”
Although Britney announced her intention to leave the music industry earlier this month, she took to Instagram last night to tease a new project.
