Britney Spears and Janet Jackson are ‘still bonded’ over the bad treatment they received from Justin Timberlake: ‘He had a lot to gain by taking them both down’

Britney Spears and Janet Jackson have more in common than just successful singers and powerful dancers.

They were both severely abused by Justin Timberlake.

Britney, 41, revealed the details of how the musician, 42, allegedly cheated on her, urged her to have an abortion because he “didn’t want to be a father” and shortly after broke up with her via text message in her memoir The Woman in Me.

Janet, 57, saw her career derailed for decades after Timberlake ripped her costume and exposed her chest on live TV during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.

“Both felt he had a lot to gain by taking them both down,” the source said The mirror.

The Toxic singer explained in her memoir how Justin seemingly capitalized on their breakup on his first solo album, specifically with the song Cry Me a River.

As he galloped through Hollywood as America’s Golden Boy, he painted her as a “whore” as she mourned their breakup deeply at home in Louisiana.

“Janet and Britney are still bonded over the response and Janet has reached out to offer her support and encouragement,” the source said.

The insider also claimed: ‘Britney was shocked by the way Janet was treated at the Super Bowl and felt like she was being attacked by the same PR machine that had denigrated her.’

‘They had several private conversations around that time, which recently flared up again. They have a shared experience and Janet wanted to let Britney know she is there for her,” the source added.

Justin, his wife Jessica Biel, 41, and their two sons flew to Cabo San Lucas amid the backlash he is facing over the Circus hitmaker’s wildly popular memoir.

He was also forced to close the comments on his Instagram account.

The Bye Bye Bye singer previously publicly apologized for the role he played in hurting Janet and Britney.

Following the release of the 2021 New York Times documentary Framing Britney Spears, which detailed their breakup and Spears’ eventual mental breakdown, he expressed regret for his past behavior.

“I deeply regret the times in my life when my actions contributed to the problem, when I spoke out of turn or did not stand up for what was right,” he said.

“I would like to specifically apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, both individually, because I care about and respect these women, and I know I failed.”

And it’s not just Janet and Britney who have each other’s backs during their confrontations with Timberlake.

Madonna, 65, has been a longtime supporter of Britney and in the wake of details surrounding her relationship with Timberlake, the Holiday singer unfollowed Justin on Instagram.
