*NSYNC reacted to Britney Spears’ book after she revealed she had an abortion with Justin Timberlake’s baby. The relationship with Britney, Justin, and *NSYNC has gone way back and the bandmates are still sticking together despite it all. Two decades after the band broke up, the band reunited for the movie Trolls Band Together for the single “Better Place.” The reunion coincided with the release of Britney’s book which includes major bombshells about Justin.

Justin and Britney were together from 1998 to 2002 when they both were rising to fame and together became one of the biggest couples in show business. At the same time, Justin was in the midst of breaking out with one of the biggest boy bands in the world at the time: *NSYNC. The band consists of Justin, JC Chasez (who also starred on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club), Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone and with hit singles like “Bye Bye Bye” and “Tearing Up My Heart” they soared through the Billboard charts and the hearts of many fans.

As revealed in the 2022 documentary Framing Britney Spears, Justin leaked that “Britney wasn’t a virgin” following their split, leading to hurtful headlines and reports about the “Gimme More” singer. It took nearly 20 years after their split—and the demands of fans around the world—for Justin to issue a considerable apology to the star.

He finally took to Instagram in February 2021 to share his thoughts, writing in part, “I’ve seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond. 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 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.”
