That rat has NEVER shown one ounce of remorse or issued a public apology or tried to make amends with the women that he screwed over. If he had any humanity he would have done that along time ago. Instead he uses his white straight male privilege to avoid all of the drama that HE created and still has ignorant fans that refuse to take off their rose colored glasses in order to see him for the crappy human being that he is. When Janet Jackson was being raked through the mud after the Super Bowl incident (that he caused mind you, on accident or on purpose) he went radio silent and let her take all of the heat from racist, sexist assholes. Heโs never been a man, heโll always be a little rat in my book. He did though? He realized he could be a straight white privileged asshole and still have fans. Doesnโt seem very sorry to meโฆ And whoโd be dumb enough to fall for his half-ass PR apology the first time around ๐ this is not a good person, not remotely

It's obvious by his actions that he doesn't think he did anything wrong. His apologies following the New York Time specials on Hulu were obvious PR attempts to resolve the backlash he was experiencing at the time. Britney's memoir was so horrific it's causing people to re-investigate all of his actions, and people are seeing that clearly that apology doesn't suffice.
The problem is every statement Justin has made about the encounters with these women feels like his PR team forced him to do it. If he really was sorry, it would be easy for him to show changed behavior and be committed to changing things for the next generation for women in the music industry to show remorse. He hasn't done any of that, which shows he doesn't think he did anything wrong, and instead has doubled down on his poor behaviors.
At the very least if he had as much remorse as his PR team says he does, he would retire Cry Me A River and What Goes Around Comes Around and take down the music videos. Instead, he gleefully performs them every chance he gets when he has other bigger hits he could sing and uses the set time to bash the very women he says he failed.
The disconnect is real.

It seems Britney has responded I thought she said โbring it to courtโ and I was like โyes? Kill it Britโโฆ.then I realized she said โthe courtโโฆ.and after a few moments I realized that sheโs referencing a basketball court. Battle of the 40 year old white wasps on the basketball court CANNOT be a topic during black history month. Ban them both until March.

I really don't get that reaction from JT, I guess he's probably frustrated because whatever he does Britney's name will be attached to it (Janet's too). I mean, nobody wants to live in the past, and I'm not here to judge, but he should've thought about it earlier.

They aren't though... he has numerous other hits that are just as big or bigger that he could spotlight: SexyBack, My Love, Mirrors, Suit & Tie, and Can't Stop The Feeling are all bigger than both of those tracks.
Justin has 5 albums worth of material that he can pull from, in addition to his N'Sync catalog. If his songography can't deal with him retiring two songs than he needs to wrap it all the way up anyway.

He helped bring about the reputationial downfall of both these women and used them as punchlines for well over a decade. Then in 2021 when documentaries and TikTok spotlighted his behavior and it finally started to backfire, he released a half-assed, PRโd, Notes-app apology. As soon as it blew over, he dropped the remorseful act and went back to his true self.

As soon as it blew over, he dropped the remorseful act and went back to his true self. Both Britney and Janet are over it or have expressed the desire to move on. He owes nothing to random people who are still crying about this and have likely been misogynistic and said vile things about Britney and Janet -- or other women -- themselves as well but alas. You also stay giving this man WAY too much credit, he wouldn't have been able to profit from those extremely powerful and successful women's low moments if he didn't have an entire industry, media and pretty much the whole country more than ready to berate and ostracize them. Our society is to blame, y'all are projecting everything on Justin now and for no productive reason (he's not going to end his life/career because his existence annoys some people), you just want a punching bag to entertain yourself - ironically enough, like people did with Britney and Janet back in the day (albeit for different reasons).

If Justin was to blame with Britney's and Janet's downfalls, then those two women didn't have strong careers to begin with. You guys are discrediting them as well while attacking Justin.

Why couldnโt he have just performed the song without that unnecessary intro? He brings it on himself. Nobody would have a headline the next day. Heโs already done a free concert performing that song. I donโt think he should stop performing his hits, but being a jackass about it to look โunbotheredโ when youโre only proving the opposite with your corny punchlines is what is sending me. He has no self awareness, unlike his self preservation skills. You KNEW this would be a talking point the next day so this is the smoke you want. Itโs so weird. Youโre drawing attention to it, my guy.

Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Screenshots! Wait...never mind. I mean, at least "seething" is in quotes, which is Page Six's not-so-subtle way of saying they don't believe it, but just want the clickbait. AFAIK, they have been anti-Britney through her struggles anyway. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Ok Heather Gay.
The receipts are his totally seething recent video where he seemingly takes back his apologies and used his thin lips to seethe out the words I won't apologize for anything. He definitely big mad ๐ค

She said her truth on the book and there's no need for her to address this guy anymore. i mean. did jt not start it with his comment ?? i agree that asking someone if they wanna settle it with a basketball match is a hilariously limp and out of touch threat but like. there's no way being under a conservationship for as long as britney isn't gonna fry your brain at least a little bit i agree that having him take cmar and wca...ga off streaming isn't a very realistic ask, especially since with context removed, they're unfortunately two really good songs, but you'd think the least he could do is not poke the bear ?? hopefully this isn't gonna turn into a "well those people are never gonna forgive me + being an unrepentant asshole worked well for chris brown so i may as well try that" situation, although i suppose there's a part of me that thinks it would be amusing to see him try

The white Republican conservative mob was attacking Janet for months after the superbowl incident and Justin didnโt peep a word. It didnโt destroy Janetโs career but she unnecessarily dealt with unwarranted hate and racism for months and Justin didnโt even seem bothered by it ๐

until the end of time tho? Like can the man not try to live his life a little? I think it's very clear he does not think he's up there with current male stars like Harry Styles or Justin Bieber. Is he not allowed to make music anymore? Is he not allowed to hold any job at all? like omg That rat has NEVER shown one ounce of remorse or issued a public apology or tried to make amends with the women that he screwed over. If he had any humanity he would have done that along time ago. Instead he uses his white straight male privilege to avoid all of the drama that HE created and still has ignorant fans that refuse to take off their rose colored glasses in order to see him for the crappy human being that he is. When Janet Jackson was being raked through the mud after the Super Bowl incident (that he caused mind you, on accident or on purpose) he went radio silent and let her take all of the heat from racist, sexist assholes. Heโs never been a man, heโll always be a little rat in my book. Umm, wrong. You might wanna read stories of the incident when it happened, not twenty years of revisist history.

View Attachment1. this doesn't say anything abt timberlake letting janet take the fall, rather that they were both initially blamed for the incident, which is true, but more importantly 2. the fcc was gonna allow fu cking on tv / radio at some point ?? that's so wild to me, especially when words like sh it / goddamn / asshole have always been censored growing up and bitch / ass / even damn are often bleeped as well

JT is, um, loving it! Britney is automatic for all mainstream and entertainment outlets. JT has been out of the mainstream music spotlight for several years.
Far more people know JT released new music because of the Britney stuff than would've know without it. And, that's all that matters. JT's publicity team is likely behind the dueling 'Selfish' and they are probably behind 'Liar' - And, with how low sales are, it probably cost them about $1,000.
If both songs were legitimately rising because of Britney fans, they'd have made serious noise on Spotify.

Justin has the flu and posted an acoustic version of Selfish on IG. It sounds nice! There is a slight rasp but otherwise unnoticeable. I like the melodic changes too.
