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. I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism,\u201d Timberlake said. \u201cI specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed. I also feel compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly, because this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow from\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe industry is flawed. It sets men, especially white men, up for success. It\u2019s designed this way. As a man in a privileged position I have to be vocal about this. Because of my ignorance, I didn\u2019t 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 again,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not been perfect in navigating all of this throughout my career. I know this apology is a first step and doesn\u2019t absolve the past. I want to take accountability for my own missteps in all of this as well as be part of a world that uplifts and supports. I care deeply about the wellbeing of the people I love and have loved. I can do better and I will do better,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/justin-timberlake-apology-britney-spears-janet-jackson-backlash\">reported<\/a> by Fox News, the documentary briefly explores the relationship between Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears in the early-2000s:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In the documentary, Spears\u2019 and Timberlake\u2019s past romance&nbsp;is examined, once again bringing attention to their&nbsp;controversial split, which, according to&nbsp;Page Six, sparked rumors that Spears was unfaithful.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Timberlake\u2019s \u201cCry Me a River\u201d video featuring an adultress blonde character fueled such speculation, as did a 2003&nbsp;interview between the \u201cToxic\u201d singer and&nbsp;Diane Sawyer, who grilled the actress over what she did that caused \u201cso much suffering\u201d for Timberlake.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>ABC reporter Diane Sawyer also received strong criticism on social media after the documentary scrutinized her 2003 interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has gone on television and pretty much said you broke his heart,\u201d Sawyer told Britney at the time. \u201cYou did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering\u2026 What did you do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
