What has Justin Timberlake said about Britney Spears conservatorship?
JUSTIN Timberlake faced intense backlash from Britney Spears fans after the release of Hulu's Framing Britney Spears. Britney publicly spoke about her conservatorship battle in June 2021, the first time since her 2007 meltdown when the conservatorship was implemented. Britney has compared her "abusive" conservatorship to sex trafficking as she spoke out in June 2021 for the first time since her public breakdown in 2007. In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will," she said. "And taking all their possessions away, credit card, cash, phone, passport." The singer addressed a court room by video as her dad, Jamie, and mom, Lynn, also joined in. During the hearing, Britney argued her father should no longer have control over her life. Also during the hearing, Britney said she wants to marry and take out her IUD to have another baby but is unable to grow her family because her "conservator won't let her." Fans of Britney Spears have alleged that her former boyfriend Justin Timberlake treated her poorly in their relationship after a documentary premiered reflecting on the singer's life and conservatorship. On February 12, Justin took to Instagram to express remorse for his past. 6 Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake dated for three years Credit: The Mega Agency  Ive seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond, he wrote. 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.

Because of my ignorance, I didn't recognize it for all that it was while it was happening in my own life but I do not want to ever benefit from others being pulled down." He went on to insist he wants to take "accountability" for his actions, and acknowledged the apology was just a "first step." Justin and Britney dated from 1998-2002. Although the pair's relationship seemed perfect at the time, fans have come down on Justin for how he spoke about his ex-girlfriend after their split. Many believed Justin made Britney into the "villain" of their break-up, which soon led to her downward spiral including drug use accusations and hospitalizations. 6 Britney Spears & Justin Timberlake at the 12th Annual Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party Credit: Getty Images - Getty  One angry fan wrote: "Justin Timberlake took full advantage of the sh**ty misogyny and double standards of the early 00s for his own gain.
