Justin
Timberlake
tweeted
in
support
of
his
ex-girlfriend
Britney
Spears
who
opened
up
about
her
'abusive'
conservatorship.
Justin
took
to
his
Twitter
account
just
hours
after
Britney
made
a
passionate
statement
in
court,
sharing
her
ordeal
and
pleading
with
a
judge
to
end
her
conservatorship.
The
singer-songwriter
tweeted
that
everyone
should
speak
up
in
her
support
no
matter
their
past.
"After
what
we
saw
today,
we
should
all
be
supporting
Britney
at
this
time.
Regardless
of
our
past,
good
and
bad,
and
no
matter
how
long
ago
it
was...what's
happening
to
her
is
just
not
right.
No
woman
should
ever
be
restricted
from
making
decisions
about
her
own
body.
No
one
should
ever
be
held
against
their
will...or
ever
have
to
ask
permission
to
access
everything
they've
worked
so
hard
for,"
the
tweet
read.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
himself
and
his
wife
Jessica
Biel,
Timberlake
added,
"Jess
and
I
send
our
love,
and
our
absolute
support
to
Britney
during
this
time.
We
hope
the
courts,
and
her
family
make
this
right
and
let
her
live
however
she
wants
to
live."
During
her
court
hearing,
Spears
revealed
that
the
conservatorship
prevented
her
from
marrying
her
boyfriend
and
having
a
family
of
her
own.
She
went
on
to
make
explosive
allegations
against
her
father
and
others
involved
in
the
conservatorship
including
her
therapists.
She
said
her
family
has
wrongfully
and
abusively
controlled
her
life
since
the
conservatorship
was
put
in
place
in
2008.
She
told
the
judge,
"This
conservatorship
is
doing
me
way
more
harm
than
good.
I
deserve
to
have
a
life.
I've
worked
my
whole
life.
I
deserve
to
have
a
two
to
three-year
break
and
just,
you
know,
do
what
I
want
to
do."
Notably,
Timberlake
and
Spears
who
become
global
superstars
as
teens,
were
in
a
highly
publicized
relationship
in
the
late
'90s
and
early
2000s.
However,
it
didn't
last
long
and
Spears
was
portrayed
as
unfaithful
and
the
sole
reason
for
her
and
Timberlake's
breakup.
Timberlake
had
also
vaguely
accused
Spears
of
cheating
on
him.
He
had
also
released
a
music
video,
'Cry
Me
A
River'
starring
a
Spears
lookalike.
Notably,
earlier
this
year,
after
the
release
of
Framing
Britney
Spears,
Timberlake
received
some
backlash
for
the
way
he
treated
Spears
after
their
breakup.
However,
the
singer
took
to
social
media
and
apologized
for
his
actions.
He
said
in
a
statement,
"I
understand
that
I
fell
short
in
these
moments
and
in
many
others
and
benefited
from
a
system
that
condones
misogyny
and
racism...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."
Apart
from
Timberlake,
Mariah
Carey,
Rose
McGowan
and
Brandy
have
also
spoken
out
in
support
of
Britney
Spears.
