Britney apologized to Justin Timberlake for “damaging his image” after the secrets revealed in his autobiographical book; However, she did not deserve even a little pity. Justin earned the crown of “most idiot” and kept it close to his chest, which is why she was afraid of what the famous woman might say about him.
Let’s remember that Justin and Britney were dating for three years, becoming one of the most loved couples in the industry, until 2002 when they announced their breakup. Everything was unexpected, since to date, neither of them gave details of what happened between them. However, sometime later he released Cry Me to River, a hit in which he implied that she had been unfaithful to him.
Britney never said anything, until 20 years later, revealing details of her relationship that did not suit him. From a “forced” abortion to deception, there was everything and she barely dared to bring it to light. It was known that Justin Timberlake had ended their relationship with Britney by text message and it was not until now, thanks to Chris Applebaum, director of Britney’s Overprotected: The Darkchild Remix music video, that we found out what that text said.
What Did the Message With Which Justin Timberlake Ended Britney Say?
According to Chris, who witnessed what happened that day, Britney had a drastic change of mood in a matter of minutes. The director said in an interview for Page Six that they were recording the video and she was radiating pure happiness until she received a message from Justin.
“I was so happy that this person who was the biggest star in the world was everything I wanted her to be and more,” he said.
She disappeared for 20 to 40 minutes and since they had to continue filming, he went out to look for her. He then found her in her trailer, really upset, with all her makeup smeared because of her tears. At that moment, he recalled, Britney showed him her phone, so he could read the message from Timberlake that said: “It’s over.” According to what was revealed by Chris, Justin Timberlake was really upset by Britney’s alleged infidelity with choreographer Wade Robson, as he had been trying to communicate with her all day.
The final scene that Applebaum remembers is Felicia Culotta, Spears’ assistant and friend at the time, putting her arm around the singer’s shoulder, representing support for what was happening. Without a doubt, and although Britney has apologized to him for exposing the terrible things she did to him, Justin Timberlake deserves the crown of the “most idiot”, which they put on him on social networks.
