Justin Timberlake was unaware that his former director was urging Janet Jackson to forgive him

Justin Timberlake may have to ask his former director to stop speaking on his behalf.

The 40-year-old singer was “completely unaware” that her former director Johnny Wright asked Janet Jackson to forgive the star for exposing her chest during her currently famous Super Bowl performance in 2004.

Justin was unaware of his comment. Johnny did it all on his own, ”a source close to the artist told Page Six on Friday.

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

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

While it’s unclear if Wright or Jackson deleted the comment, fans of the five-time Grammy were furious on his behalf.

‘Janet doesn’t owe Justin a damn thing. Especially not his forgiveness after Justin refused to apologize for YEARS. Respect black women. Point, ”a fan pointed out.

Both performers have not yet responded to Wright’s comments. He began conducting Timberlake when he was the fifth part of the * NSYNC children’s band in the 1990s.

These events occur less than two months after he apologized to Jackson for taking off his suit during his performance, in what they said was an accident at the time, but for which she was crucified.

In the long Instagram post, Timberlake said, “I expressly want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson individually, because I care and respect these women and I know I failed.”

The apology came after she was tagged in social media posts about Spears and the campaign to free her from her father’s conservatory.

She recently starred in the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which reveals how Spears has been, according to her fans, exploited by the men of her life.

Fans say Timberlake is one of them. He and Spears dated from 1999 to 2002 after meeting each other while performing at the Mickey Mouse Club when they were kids and became a major Hollywood couple. They split abruptly and soon rumors arose that he had deceived her.

It is unclear whether Timberlake has been in contact with women to apologize in private. Neither has publicly responded to his apologies.

Coincidentally, Wright and his group Wright Entertainment also directed Spears between 1999 and 2003.

In 2007, he sued the Slumber Party performer for more than $ 15,000, alleging that he did not pay for the work he helped produce. The two were established in 2009 on undisclosed terms.
