Last week, Justin Timberlake announced a new solo album alongside a single called "Selfish," which is a mild-mannered way one might go about describing his character. (To add insult to injury, the song is bad.)
Now, on the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show where he ripped off part of Janet Jackson's top, briefly exposing her nipple to grave effect on her long career of making hits, Timberlake wants you to know that he's not sorry!
While performing at Irving Plaza in New York City last night (January 31) as part of his 43rd birthday celebrations, the former boybander briefly addressed the crowd before singing "Cry Me a River."
As captured by fan-shot footage, Timberlake said, "I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to absolutely fucking nobody."
Aside from the 20th anniversary of the whole Nipplegate fiasco, the timing is doubly interesting because "Cry Me a River" is famously about Timberlake's relationship with Britney Spears, who took to Instagram earlier this week to apologize to him and anyone else she may have offended with her The Woman in Me memoir. (Specifically, she described his embarrassing Ginuwine encounter.)
Timberlake's non-apology is decidedly a heel-turn from the many opportunities he has taken to apologize — to Spears, Jackson, his wife Jessica Biel, the city of Washington, D.C., etc. — in the past.
