Earlier this year, Timberlake apologised both for this incident, as well as his treatment of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears.
The lengthy post on social media came in the wake of the Framing Britney documentary.

The Cry Me A River singer wrote:
"I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed."
He continued: "The industry is flawed. It sets men, especially white men, up for success. As a man in a privileged position I have to be vocal about this.
