Justin Timberlake announced that he’ll ‘apologize to absolutely f—ing nobody’

Justin Timberlake has new music and he’s desperate for people to pay attention to him. I was trying to ignore him for as long as I could, just for fun! But I can’t ignore this. After JT performed on SNL last weekend, Britney Spears posted a general apology for her memoir, which was pretty rough on Justin. She wrote, in part: “I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book. If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry… I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish’.” She also complimented Justin and Jimmy Fallon, writing that whenever she saw them together, she “laughs so hard.” Britney ended up deleting that whole post. For good reason – Justin doesn’t deserve any apologies. During a performance in NYC this week, Justin also took back his previous apologies:

Justin Timberlake celebrated his birthday with a one-night-only show in New York City, and made it clear he has “nobody” to apologize to.

The former *NSYNC frontman turned solo star turned 43 on Wednesday and celebrated by playing a free show at Irving Plaza, performing both a slew of his career-spanning hits and some of his new music of his forthcoming album, Everything I Thought It Was (which is due out March 15).

Before singing his 2002 hit “Cry Me a River,” Timberlake took a moment to share some candid thoughts with the crowd. “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely f—ing nobody,” Timberlake said before the song, a concertgoer confirmed to PEOPLE.

Timberlake also performed the song at the opening of the Fontainebleau Las Vegas in December, but shouted “No disrespect!” before beginning the tune.

God, what a douche. Britney thinks so as well – soon after the reporting of Justin’s comments, Britney posted this to her Instagram: “Someone told me someone was talking s— about me on the streets !!! Do you want to bring it to the court or will you go home crying to your mom like you did last time ??? I’m not sorry !!!” I’m sorry but Britney remains hilarious. She’s just naturally funny and Justin is just a dweeb and a loser. It’s driving me crazy that Justin has launched his comeback and people (with the attention spans of gnats) are like “oh wow, Justin is the best, I can’t remember any of the terrible things he’s done!”

    Britney’s 10+ year old song Selifish was topping his in the charts and she went out of her way to tell people how great his new song is.

    Then he pulls this.

    What a sad man.

    Everyone stream Liar by Britney now!

    • Rainbow Kitty says:

      When you say “stream Liar by Britney”, does that mean just listen to it via apple music or spotify? I’m old.. LOL

    • Susie Q says:

      Britney’s ‘Selfish’ was topping the charts because her fans pushed it to prevent Justin’s ‘Selfish’ from succeeding. In other words, it didn’t get there because people loved the song, they did it to hurt Justin. Which is fine! She was too nice to have apologized in the first place. Lesson learned.

      • Sass says:

        @SusieQ this right here “too nice to have apologized in the first place.” When I saw what she wrote essentially backpedaling on her memoir I felt a pang of empathy for her. How many times have we women backtracked in order to remain “likable” or prevent people from being angry with us? She is so traumatized from her entire life and it shows when she does/says stuff like this – I feel terrible for her. Don’t apologize for telling the truth – especially considering how GENTLE she was with it in her memoir. Justin should be thanking her; she wasn’t at all hard on him, and he freaked tf out and is continuing to make himself look bad.

  2. Nubia says:

    I have never seen anyone age and morph into a different face completely. He looks like Gary Sinese now.

    • Barbara says:

      That’s funny and true. As I watched his new video, I thought every so often he looked like Hugh Jackman (who I like though). He’s really aging HARD.

      • JustBitchy says:

        When I saw him on SNL, I thought my god he looks like he’s in his 50’s. Rather time has not been good to his looks. Men have it tough and he needs a lot of work which could leave him looking feminine. Upper and lower blepheroplasty, forehead lift (at least endoscopic) and either a light lower facelift or some cheek fillers to lift up the nasal and down lines

    • Digital Unicorn says:

      I now often get him and Michael Buble confused.

      • Elle says:

        I am a huge fan of Gary Sinise, and not a fan of Justin Timberlake whatsoever. I appreciate all that Gary Sinise has done for our veterans and am so happy that he has gotten the recognition he deserves. No comment on anyone else mentioned in this post.

      • Tursitops says:

        I see the tall emo kid from South Park. Look at the nose.

        BTW, I’m not Jane-come-lately to this opinion; I’ve been saying it for as long as this turdtaco has been insufferable.

      • Mtl.ex.pat says:

        @digital – Buble is an assh0le too – I’m old enough to remember how cruel he was to Emily Blunt, not to mention him being aggressive to his current wife.
        Never had any patience for Timberlake – he’s a whiny brat who should remain irrelevant.

      • B says:

        Re the plastic surgery suggestions for his face- that shopping list is one thing but really he should become concerned with finding a good (better?) therapist.

      • ML says:

        ITA with what you said, B. JT made a terrible apology to Janet and Britney, which he just nixed with this move. Whoever coaxed his apology in the first place is probably dying inside because unlike JT they realize how bad this looks/is. JT needs to still learn that and it’s much more important than improving (if possible) his looks.

      • Agreatreckoning says:

        I now often get JT & Trump confused for the other. Both f*cking idiots, liars and gaslighters-one might be more of a criminal than the other. just saying

    • pollyv says:

      It’s funny he was a cute teenager who’s aged into an ugly man, inside and out. I can’t believe anyone thinks he’s hot. He deserves his looks.

  3. North of Boston says:

    Ugh, I can’t with this J A

    If there were a whole raft of famous Justins, like there are Actor Chris-es,
    Timberlake would absolutely be:

    The. Worst. Justin.

  4. Ariel says:

    I didn’t know this but apparently in her book she wrote about playing basketball together and he cried when she beat him, because of course he did.

    I bought her song selfish last week, and as suggested above, I’m going to go buy liar.
    It’s inexpensive and satisfying.

    He really is garbage

  5. Nancy says:

    It’s my experience that anyone who says they have no one to apologize to generally are the people who should be apologizing to everyone. What a tool.

    • Slush says:

      That part.

    • snappyfish says:

      He & his wife are both insufferable. He of the inflated ego & she of the ‘I’m too beautiful for anyone to hire me”. He is overrated & she can’t act. Maybe they could apologize for their unvaccinated children, or at least, to their unvaccinated children

  6. Snuffles says:

    Dude, the stories were quieting down. Britney apologized and was supportive of your new music and appearances. Then you go and do this!? Talk about self sabotage.

    • Lexilla says:

      I know! Help me understand why he thought this was a good move. Especially on the 20th anniversary of Nipplegate. (Never forget.)

    • Juju says:

      My opinion- he is once again leveraging his connection with her to get headlines and attention. He said that knowing it would get a reaction.

      I was never really all that into the narrative that he used her for his own gain but this has me rethinking that stance. He wasn’t getting support for his music and no one really cared… and now he’s getting clicks by trashing her. Pathetic.

      • Normades says:

        Good point Juju. This is the comeback nobody asked for and he has to use Britney to stay relevant. Also how annoying are Jimmy Fallon and Justin together? They both think they’re sooooo funny.

    • Nicole says:

      Seriously! His PR was working double time, pushing good mom stories about his wife, he had those SNL skits…..and then he goes and f*cks it up. His PR team must be pissed. Dumb@$$.

    • Jay says:

      Oh, he’s absolutely going hard to try and grab headlines, still trying hard to grasp Britney’s coattails. He didn’t miss that Britney’s decades old song outperformed his new one and he’s nothing if not an opportunist. I don’t think people ever bought the “family man” PR anyway. He should just embrace being a total heel.

  7. Jais says:

    What a pos. He is so unattractive in both spirit and looks. He repels me.

  8. Pomski says:

    JT has chosen Angry Bro for this leg of his promo tour. Sadly, there are a lot of people who are going to embrace him as the poster child for anti #metoo thinking. All the Taylor Swift haters, meet your new hero.

    • Josephine says:

      Yup, he is cashing in on the easy marks who drop money in exchange for feeling righteous about their bigotry and hatred.

    • Korra says:

      I am just waiting for him to do an interview with Jordan Peterson or Joe Rogan, who are often the starting point for people getting into the alt-right pipeline.

  9. Renae says:

    Watched him on SNL last week. Didn’t care for his “new” stuff.
    He’ll be a Vegas Lounge Lizzard far before his time.
    Ugh!

  10. Becks1 says:

    What a POS. Honestly, he didn’t come off great in Britney’s memoir, at all, but a lot of her anger about the situation was about the press coverage as well – what Justin was “allowed” to get away with it and what she wasn’t, and I thought she actually did a good job highlighting the double standard for men and women when it comes to things like partying, going out with friends, writing songs about a breakup, especially 20 years ago.

    and I mean, if Britney is still a little upset that her first great love cheated on her, and then made a song/video where it showed HER as the cheater??? Yeah I’d be mad too, even 20 years later.

    He SHOULD apologize. But instead, he’s going to be an asshole about it.

    Pre memoir, I was ambivalent on JT. I liked some of his music, liked the later N Sync stuff (Bye Bye bye, etc), thought he was a jerk to Britney but that was kind of it. I read her memoir and he came off like such an entitled, arrogant, hurtful ahole……..and then his way of rehabbing that is to just double down on it like this?!!?!

    Lordy, what it must be like to be a man.

  11. Inge says:

    twat

  12. Shawna says:

    Way to p*ss away the goodwill you could have gotten from the SNL skit with Jimmy Fallon. So dumb.

  13. Chantal1 says:

    What a moron! I was done with him after he continued to clout chase her by bashing her for years. Him hanging Janet out to dry, as her career tanked and his soared, proved I was right to ignore him and his music. I thought it was nice but unnecessary for Britney to apologize to him but laughed when she took it back. She basically said, don’t start none – won’t be none (bs). Keep poking the bear JT so Britney can tell it all!

  14. Bumblebee says:

    As someone pointed out on another site, Britney has mental health issues, a dysfunctional family, and broke free of a 13 yr conservatorship. Her comments are never mean.
    Justin however, has a steady career, a little family, team to help him, and the media on his side. It’s petty for him to keep poking at her. What a bully. Bring it to the courts Justin, I’ll beat you too.

    • Slippers4life says:

      💯 this! Britney was still able to draw on her courage and extend an olive branch and he responds this way. What I don’t get is how the media is on his side so hard. Someone’s paying for the “it was 20 years ago, we all make mistakes when we’re young” narrative bots. Friggin SNL and Jimmy Fallon give him a massive platform to the point I just had to unfollow their page because the JT rehab PR campaign is just one of the grossest most obvious crap I’ve seen. He was mediocre at best in his hey day despite all the help from Timbaland and Andy Samberg and other actually talented people who continue to fall all over him.

    • February pisces says:

      What I find really telling about JT is that during everything Britney went through, he never gave AF. Seeing someone you once loved be put through so much sh*t and he never jumped to her defence, not once. He never felt the urge to protect the woman he once loved.

      Anyway Justin’s just mad because cos gen Z only know him for being a side character in britneys story.

      • Lux says:

        He blatantly disrespects his wife by openly cavorting with other women. He has not changed. This comeback is going the way of Man (Mayo) of the Woods, which is a good thing.

      • Sass says:

        @lux I have never been a huge Jessica Biel fan, but I simply do not understand what she could possibly see in him. Her producing work has been really well done, I have respect for her in that, I just wish she would cut off this dead weight. She seems to be a private/quiet person who just wants to make things and he’s…trashy. I’m embarrassed for her.

  15. Maddy says:

    Slimy sleezeball.

  16. Amy Bee says:

    Eff Justin and his new song sucks.

  17. Ameerah M says:

    Like I said on my IG last night – dude just sing your outdated songs and STFU. Also: JT now looks like someone’s bloated suburban Dad. He is ageing like spoiled milk. It’s the face he deserves.

  18. SpringPeeper says:

    Ugh, he’s terrible. Also, what is he wearing in some of these pics? It looks like one of those lady jacket cardigans they sell at J. Crew.

  19. Lisa says:

    Who dis?

  20. lucy2 says:

    Not surprised. but at least he’s openly showing people who he is now.

  21. Slippers4life says:

    We never know what the future holds for any of us. If you had told me in the 2000s that, 20 or so years later, that the breakaway artist from a boy band would find a new fan base in incels at middle age, I’d have said wtf is an incel? This guy knows one thing and that’s how to get press. He knows how to court anyone who actually would pay attention to him at this point: incels and bots!

  22. Beverley says:

    I think we can all agree he’s bringing douche bag back.
    Cuz it sure weren’t sexy.

  23. Trillion says:

    real cool, bro.

  24. JaneS says:

    All these comments are correct. 👍

    Why can’t some celebs just take their money and fade away?
    If he never said another word in public, that would be fine.

  25. Rainbow Kitty says:

    He annoys me when he tries to be fashionable, like with the Chanel in those photos. He is not fashionable, he is beyond bland. For whatever reason, he just does not make clothes look good. I don’t find him attractive and never have (I was a Backstreet girl so didn’t pay much attention to him). And whatever he has pumped into his face is not working. He just looks bloated.

  26. Lau says:

    Dweeb truly is the perfect word to describe JT. Whoever (if anyone) is advising him for his PR is doing a terrible job.

  27. sunny says:

    He really is so pathetic- his behaviour to Brittney was cruel and petty but probably could have been written off as the mistakes of youth. I thought Brittney was very generous to him in her book.

    But he is a grown man with a family now, he just looks pathetic to react this way. He’s just so small and petty.

    He could have kept his mouth closed on the subject but i guess he didn’t realize that shutting up is free. What a tool.

  28. Blithe says:

    I have no words. I just hope that Janet gets the last laugh.

    Lol: I just had the fleeting thought that when Timberlake gazes in his mirror, he’s hoping to see Harry Styles — but instead, it’s: Beetlejuice.

  29. girl_ninja says:

    He’s such a skuzbucket.

  30. Michelle says:

    How long before JT takes his douchey bro act to Fox News? He can jump on the Trump train, become the new king of anti-woke. He’s the worst and I thought he seemed jerky on SNL.

  31. J says:

    He is really unaware of PR skills! I had a teeny tiny feeling soften towards him when he performed a few months ago after B’s book came out, and he said “no disrespect” before the song started. I then recently saw B make conciliatory remarks and apologies. I thought, wow they are making nice.

    Now he’s just being a jerk and that little tiny softening feeling towards him has shriveled up.

    • Debbie says:

      Justin Timberlake strikes me as someone who goes along with the crowd or whichever way the wind is blowing. When Britney was getting more sympathetic coverage after her book, Justing leaned into that reaction too. I remember actor and activist Jesse Williams was up on an award show stage during the height of the crazy cop-killing incidents and Jesse made a powerful statement about dreadful treatment of Black people in the hands of cops. Justin was seated in the audience at the time and he nodded and clapped in an exaggeratedly loud way at his remarks, then Jesse went on to say that a lot of people will pay lip service to tolerance after tragedies happen but, the rest of the time, they go along and laugh at racist “jokes” or say nothing in disagreement when people they know utter slurs in their presence. I also thought that J. Timberlake was one of those people. He struck me as someone who wants everyone to like him, and who has no real values other than self-interest.

  32. Eurydice says:

    Oh, so he’s no longer going to apologize to his wife?

    • kirk says:

      Or anybody else either? He doesn’t even sound like an adult publicizing his intent to not apologize to anyone.

  33. J.Ferber says:

    He’s an arrogant, fucking nobody himself.

  34. arhus says:

    what a gross piece of s*. Not saying we know the whoel story, but what a terrible attitude. I hope this ‘revival’ flops like his man of the forest thing. Jimmy Fallon is the only reason non- nysync people still have any shred of caring about this dude.

  35. J.Ferber says:

    How does Jessica Biel put up with him? I bet she has a Melania-Donald relationship–you over THERE and me over HERE. They do have two boys together whom you rarely see. I guess some women just want the ultra-rich life no matter what a douche the man is. I just could not do it, though. Kudos, I guess, to Jessica for pulling it off. And she does do the occasional acting job as well.

    • Normades says:

      He’s a total narcissist and she seems like a doormat. She “won” him like Kate won William. She just stuck around and was the last woman standing

  36. Spike says:

    I’m totally and absolutely shocked. Said no one.

  37. BEE says:

    I remember an incident which happened in St. Louis, Mo backstage at a concert. A fan backstage, yelled out for an autograph or something and Justin just ignored her. She, a 15 year old girl said thats okay JC is a better singer anyway.
    With that said Timberlake and bodyguards muscled her into the elevator, stopped it and Justin yelled and screamed at her.
    I read this in The St Louis Post Dispatch one of the cities newspapers.
    So I say he has been a wipe a long time.
