Criticism is mounting over Britney’s accounts of how Justin treated the Circus hitmaker during their two-year romance, between 1999 and 2001.

Justin has been subjected to a barrage of online hate, to the point where he has disabled his Instagram comments in an apparent attempt to stem the tide.

In response, Lance said TMZ that fans should go easy on the SexyBack singer because of his past missteps.

“Everyone has their own opinion, but I feel like the whole world is so full of hate right now that we need to practice a little bit of forgiveness. Britney did that, so let’s make a note of her,” he suggested.

The performer continued: ‘Everyone deserves to have their story told. She did, and I hope the fans can find some forgiveness again.”

Bass declined to discuss whether he spoke to Timberlake following the claims his ex-girlfriend made about him, including that he was unfaithful during their relationship and that she had an abortion at age 19, because he ” didn’t want’. be a father.”

Earlier this week, a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that “Justin hasn’t contacted Britney at all about any of this and he won’t because he can’t say anything to her.”

“She was there and is just telling it from her point of view,” the source added. ‘That doesn’t mean he’s okay with it. Justin is not happy at all with what has emerged in this book.”

They further noted that “making this book gave Britney life and she really doesn’t care who is offended by anything in the book because that’s what happened.”

‘She was there and experienced it. Nobody can say anything. She has taken all of this out of her and is now moving on.”

Her story: The pop icon, 41, who received a $12.5 million advance for the book, will make a fortune from the book, which has already sold more than 400,000 copies

A second insider claimed the “baggage” from Britney’s memoir was “stressful” for Justin and his wife Jessica, whose October 19 wedding anniversary was overshadowed.

The couple married in 2012, ten years after his divorce from Britney. They share sons Silas, eight, and Phineas, three.

“Britney’s book, with all the revelations that come from it, has not been the best for his anniversary celebration,” they said. “Having it in the zeitgeist hasn’t been a topic of ongoing conversation, but Justin and Jessica have certainly talked about it.

“And to have to think about all that at a time when they should be celebrating their love for each other, it hasn’t been the most fulfilling day lately, it’s been a little stressful.”

They claimed he’s trying to focus on NSYNC’s new music and his upcoming movie, adding, “He’s trying to figure it out and avoid the naysayers.”

DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for Britney and Justin.

The couple dated from 1999 to 2002, when their divorce was announced amid mounting rumors that Britney had been unfaithful.

Justin seemed to reinforce the story with his 2002 hit Cry Me a River, in which he sings, “You don’t have to say, what you did / I already know, I found out from him / Now there’s just no chance / For you and I.’

The singer even went so far as to hire a Britney look-alike for the music video.
