Britney Spears took to Instagram late Sunday night to issue an apology to anyone she may have offended in her memoir.
Among the people she’s apologizing to is her ex Justin Timberlake.
She posted a clip of Timberlake’s Jan. 25 appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”
“I wanna apologize for some of the things I wrote about in my book,” she wrote in the caption. “If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about I am deeply sorry.”
The “Baby One More Time” singer then extended an olive branch to Timberlake.
“I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song ‘Selfish’ 🌹 It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy together I laugh so hard?”
She also praised the former NSYNC member’s song “Sanctified” as well.
The pop duo dated from 1999 to 2002; in her 2023 memoir “The Woman in Me,” she revealed Timberlake cheated on her multiple times and urged her to get an abortion when they were both around 19 years old.
“It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” she wrote. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young.”
The memoir as well as documentaries, like The New York Times’ “Framing Britney Spears,” had fans of Spears furious with Timberlake.
Currently, Timberlake is promoting his upcoming album “Everything I Thought It Was.”
Last week he dropped “Selfish,” his first solo single in almost six years.
Spears fans trolled the singer by streaming her 2011 song by the same name from her album “Femme Fatale.” The move pushed the 13-year-old song to number one on iTunes on Friday.
On Saturday he was the musical guest to host Dakota Johnson on “Saturday Night Live.”
“Everything I Thought It Was” is set to drop on March 15.
Spears’ memoir hit number one on the New York Times Best-Seller list by selling 1.1 million copies in the first week.
