Justin Timberlake did not know that his former manager had urged Janet Jackson to forgive him

Justin Timberlake may have to ask his former manager not to speak on his behalf.

The 40-year-old singer did not “fully know” that her former manager Johnny Wright asked Janet Jackson to forgive the star for exposing her breasts during her famous performance in the 2004 Super Bowl.

Justin was unaware of the comment he made. Johnny did it all on his own, “a source close to the singer told Page Six on Friday.

After the 54-year-old Rhythm Nation singer shared an inspirational quote, urging her followers to “always choose to heal, not to hurt” and “to forgive, not to despise,” Wright said. suggested to follow the mantra by repairing his relationship with Timberlake.

“You should take this advice and apply it to your relationship with Justin,” he wrote in Jackson’s Instagram in screenshots captured and shared by her followers on Twitter.

Although it’s unclear whether Wright or Jackson deleted the comment, five-time Grammy fans were furious on her behalf.

“Janet doesn’t owe Justin a curse.” Especially not her forgiveness after Justin refused to apologize for years. Respect black women. Period, a fan pointed out.

The two performers have not yet responded to Wright’s comments. He started leading Timberlake when he was a fifth of the successful NSYNC * boys band in the 1990s.

These developments come less than two months after he apologized to Jackson for breaking his costume during the show, in what they said was an accident at the time, but for which she was crucified.

In the long Instagram post, Timberlake said, “I especially want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, both individually and for these women, and I know them and I know I failed.”

The apology came after she was tagged in social media posts about Spears and her campaign to be released from a conservatory owned by her father.

This was recently highlighted in the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which reveals how Spears was, according to her fans, exploited by the men in her life.

Fans say Timberlake is one of them. He and Spears dated from 1999 to 2002, after meeting while playing at Mickey Mouse Club as a child and becoming an “important couple” in Hollywood. They broke up suddenly and rumors soon surfaced that he had cheated on him.

It is unclear whether Timberlake contacted the women to apologize in private. None of them responded publicly to his apology.

Coincidentally, Wright and his entertainment group Wright also managed Spears between 1999 and 2003.

In 2007, he sued the Slumber Party performer for more than $ 15,000, claiming she did not pay for the work she helped produce. The two allegedly settled in 2009 on undisclosed terms.
