'Blindsided' Justin Timberlake Fears He Might Get Canceled After Release of Britney Spears' Memoir

Justin Timberlake has yet to respond to the bombshells from Britney Spears' memoir "The Woman in Me," but he is said to be "completely blindsided" by some of them.

Before the release of the memoir, the shocking excerpts revealed Spears' past relationship with Timberlake and outed the once-unknown details about their romance. According to the book, the "Toxic" singer got pregnant with his child but had an abortion because he told her they were not ready to have a baby.

The memoir also disclosed Timberlake's infidelity throughout their relationship.

Justin Timberlake Scared of Being Canceled After the Memoir's Release

Sources recently spoke up about Timberlake's alleged concerns after the official release of Spears' memoir.

The insiders, per Mirror, told a magazine that the "Mirrors" singer was shocked after realizing that his ex-girlfriend wrote about "deeply personal matters" which he would have loved to keep out of the spotlight.

"Justin knows he'll be walking into a minefield by addressing the book and doesn't want to get cancelled," the source said, adding that Timberlake was nervous at the book's response. "There are a lot of things he would have done differently if he could turn back time."

On the other hand, another source said the *NSYNC member only wants to move on, especially since he is married and a family man.

Meanwhile, a source told People that Timberlake is busy and focused on several things instead - his family with Jessica Biel, the upcoming "Trolls" movie and *NSYNC reunion.

"He's happy at home with Jess and their kids and he's focusing on new music," the source continued. "He's in such a great place."

Justin Timberlake's Silence Is Not a Good Idea

Amid Timberlake's silence on the issues, a PR expert revealed why not commenting on the controversies would put the "What Goes Around... Comes Around..." singer in trouble.

"Britney's bombshell revelations couldn't have come at a worse time for Justin Timberlake, right before his musical comeback," PR strategist Laura Perkes told The Mirror. "Despite the fact he's stayed silent about his relationship with Britney, the revelations can't be ignored, nor should they."

Perkes said Timberlake's PR team should at least release a press statement without sharing personal details to address what the memoir revealed. She added that some things should also remain private at the same time.
