Britney Spears’s Latest Swipe At Justin Timberlake Proves That She’s Finally Defending Herself Against Unnecessary Digs — And It’s Been A Long Time Coming


From journalists’ invasive questions about her sex life to cruel comments made by Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears has long remained silent when it comes to handling criticism and digs. That is, until now.

With this in mind, Britney’s recent apparent response to Justin wound up sparking a wider conversation around her refreshing newfound courage when it comes to calling people out, with Vogue magazine publishing an article stating that she “shouldn’t have to apologize” given how long she’s put up with unnecessary digs and jabs. He fueled rumors that she’d cheated on him with the release of his breakup anthem “Cry Me A River,” which featured an uncanny lookalike of Britney in the music video, while later making several claims about their sex life. And this brings us to today, where it’s more clear than ever that Britney is in a new era of fiercely defending herself and calling out people who disrespect her — something that was undoubtedly made easier by the massive shift in societal attitudes towards women since the ‘00s, as well as the renewed criticism of the horrific way she was treated in the press.
