As the Pop diva’s long-awaited memoir, ‘The Woman in Me,’ continues to shatter book sales records, readers continue to impatiently await an official response from her chart-topping ex Justin Timberlake (who is slammed repeatedly in the autobiography).
And while he’s remained mum about the topic, someone who’s making headlines for a less-than-favorable response is Timbaland.
Famous for producing hits for the likes of Michael Jackson, Missy Elliott, Beyonce, Aaliyah, Brandy, and many others over the last 30 years, Tim’s most popular work may be attached to Timberlake with whom he not only shares musical credits with on smashes like ‘SexyBack’ and ‘Cry Me a River’ but also considers a close friend.
Contributing to the “Sounds Architects: A Producer Conversation” panel recently, the GRAMMY-winning producer fielded an audience member question about the negative impact Spears’ ‘Woman’ is having on Justin.
“I wanted to call and say, ‘JT, you gotta put a muzzle on that girl’s mouth,’” he joked while chatting at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
Later in the convo, Tim suggested Brit was using the former NSYNC leader for clout.
“You know what? We live in the age of social media and … everybody want[s] to go viral. I get it because that’s the way you make money [is to] go viral,” he relayed.
Ouch! Needless to say, the controversial commentary sent his name to trending status – and right on to the sh*tlist of diehard Britney fans.

At writing, Timberlake nor Spears has responded to Timbo’s statement.

He’s always been bitter about Britney ever since she rejected his proposal to produce her Blackout album in favor of his protégé Danja.
Cant sing, can’t dance . Still using vocals from 15 years ago, the girl gotta eat somehow so she’s decided to be controversial… Good for her
I love TIMBALAND and JT..
She is definitely cashing in on the controversy with JT. But he already did that 20 years ago so I don’t see a problem with it!
Right Justin should sue her mouth closed she know her parents made her kill the baby
She should not be sued for speaking her truth about what she had to endure. And he didn’t.
What are you 60? This is 2023 baby!! 🥱
Asshole no I’m not. WTF the year gotta do wit her Britts parents making her kill her baby not Justin
I ain’t f w timbaland since he gave JT the audacity to come for Janet and prince on that mj reject album
Timberland needs a muzzle.
He should’ve just said what Lance or whoever it was said, something to the effect of ‘She has told her truth and I hope people can be forgiving toward Justin.’
Good he dodged a bullet.. she can’t even parent the kids she got cuz she’s deranged…
He is LUCKY……. well I guess he could be getting child support from her cuz HE would be the legal guardian as she isn’t fit
Britney’s “deranged” behavior stems from the abuse she suffered from many people in the industry and in her life INCLUDING Justin. Why should he get a pass?
The fact Timbaland loves and keeps on inviting culture vulture TimberFAKE into the cookout speaks volumes on how much of an Uncle Tom j****** that he is!
Britney is bigger than Justin. Why would she need him for clout? Tim, Boo, I love you but come on now. Stop it. Just say JT is your boy, and it’s bros before h0ze.
