Word on the street is that Justin Timberlake has not only disbled his Instagram comments over what ex-girlfriend Britney Spears wrote about him in her best selling memoir, he's also canceled a few club appearances for his upcoming comeback album.
I should also point out that his wife actress Jessica Biel's Instagram comments were flooded with negative comments about Justin as well.

News of those canceled slots — which were intended to promote his upcoming new album — comes just days after the Tuesday release of “The Woman in Me.” The week leading up to the memoir’s debut brought a slew of bombshell revelations about Timberlake’s relationship with the “Stronger” singer, 41, from 1999 to 2002.
Spears in the book claims that the *NSYNC breakout — with whom she appeared on “The Mickey Mouse Club” — impregnated her and ultimately convinced her to get an abortion, which she long regretted. She also accused him of having cheated on her. Though she admitted to once having “made out” with choreographer Wade Robson, Spears criticized Timberlake for publicly positioning her as the “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy.”
As of Wednesday “The Woman in Me” had already sold over 400,000 copies.
In the days ahead of its publication, sources told Us Weekly Timberlake was “not going to be happy” with the shout-outs he gets in the book.
While it was “not Britney’s intention to skewer anyone,” the insider said the book does “relay the facts from her perspective.”
On the bright side for Timberlake, *NSYNC — who recently reunited to record the single, “Better Place” for his new “Trolls” sequel — is sticking by the “Cry Me A River” singer, and even hope to eventually work together again.
Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez, all of whom previously toured with Spears, are all in Timberlake’s corner amid the backlash, insiders told TMZ.
I'm just glad Britney is finally being vindicated after all these years by telling her story without any interference. I'm also happy that people are finally waking up and seeing JT for the user and fraud he's always been.
Similar to what he did to Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl (throwing her under the bus and having her take the bulk of the blame for Nipplegate while his career continued to flourish), he used his relationship with Britney and the lie she cheated on him to sell his solo career, when--we soon discover that he was the one laying it low and spreading it wide with every piece of vagina he would come across.
So while JT was looking to redeem himself after the disaster that was Man of the Woods, it looks like accountability for his past transgretions are going to have to take center stage over that comeback he desperately wants.
