<h3 style="text-align: center;">Timbaland&#8217;s Recent Comments Regarding Britney Spears</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/11/07/timbaland-britney-spears-muzzle-justin-timberlake-twitter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a>, the music producer appeared on Tuesday for a public conversation at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>During what appears to be a Q&;A portion of the discussion, a fan took the microphone and presented a question for Timbaland.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;Cry Me A River&#8217; is making headlines again, obviously because of Britney&#8217;s memoir. She&#8217;s saying that&#8230;&#8221; the fan began.</p></blockquote>
<p>However, before the fan could finish their question, they were interrupted by Timbaland.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Yeah, she&#8217;s going crazy, right?&#8221; the 51-year-old rhetorically asked the crowd. &#8220;I wanted to call JT [Justin Timberlake] and say, &#8216;Hey, you&#8217;ve got to put a muzzle on that girl now.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>After Timbaland concluded his comments about Spears, he appeared to laugh as the crowd chimed in.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.songfacts.com/facts/justin-timberlake/cry-me-a-river" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Songfacts</a>, &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DksSPZTZES0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cry Me A River</a>&#8221; was produced by Timbaland and released by singer <strong>Justin Timberlake</strong> in 2002. The song was reportedly written about his two-and-a-half-year romance with Spears. Additionally, the music video showcased their parting ways due to Spears&#8217; alleged infidelity.</p>

<p>Furthermore, the memoir&#8217;s release also revealed that she terminated a pregnancy with Timberlake due to his disinterest in becoming a father, per <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/britney-spears-claims-pregnant-relationship-justin-timberlake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a>.</p>

Britney was in an abusive conservatorship where she was treated like a caged animal for 13 years…that is the LAST thing he should be saying. She has every right to tell what happened to her. Perhaps he needs a muzzle considering many of the very questionable things he has said over the years….&#8221;</span></div>
