AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has walked down memory lane. The "Toxic" hitmaker uploaded throwback photos of her and her ex Justin Timberlake on Instagram while reflecting on the moment they shared together.
In the since-deleted Instagram post, the former couple wore matching basketball uniforms during a 2001 charity game. She began her caption, "When we used to shoot hoops TOGETHER … that's when miracles happened!!!"
However, Britney apparently concluded the post by throwing some shade at Justin, who broke her heart more than 20 years ago. "I came out of my mom's stomach just like we all did !!! Psss … why always cast me out ??? I'm equal as all !!!" she declared.
Britney's post arrived nearly two years after Justin issued a public apology to her. He expressed his remorse after he was briefly featured in Hulu documentary "Framing Britney Spears", which examines Britney's rise to pop super[stardom, her 2008 meltdown, her conservatorship battle, and the sexist way her struggles were covered in the press.
In film highlighted how Justin, who is now married to Jessica Biel, capitalized on his and Britney's 2002 break-up as he launched his solo career by boasting about taking the pop superstar's virginity. He also fueled rumors suggesting Britney had cheated on him with his hit song "Cry Me a River", which featured a Britney lookalike in the accompanying music video.
In a statement shared in February 2021, Justin said, "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." He added, "I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism."
"I 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," the crooner continued. "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."
