"It got too complicated"

curious how!

[likeiused2]

they didn't want to.
good for her tbh.

That’s some fucking bullshit. They absolutely owe her an apology. Mayo of the woods does too.

Justin is the worst, he could have helped her in so may ways back then when he was still popular and he did not, he was also allowed to attend the 2004 Grammy Awards - while she was banned and hasn't been back since-fuck him

Aside from the obvious (Britney, working with Woody Allen, cheating on his pregnant wife, supporting no-vax policies), other less known/forgotten examples of him being a shit person:
-He and Jessica had a "fun" video at their wedding where homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles wished them luck in their new marriage (people featured in the video were not told that it was for a celebrity wedding)
-He had a PGA tournament with Shriners Hospitals for Children for charity, they let him go because "we tried everything we could to get him more involved with our kids and hospitals but it seemed that when the TV cameras weren’t on, he disappeared.”"

Considering the reason Les Moonves departed CBS, they should apologize, publicly. He was part of the brigade to blacklist her while committing far worst acts himself.

This reminds me Les Moonves was on an episode The Practice where Andie MacDowell's character kidnapped him and threatened to blow him up live on television. The plot of the episode involved her negotiating her getaway. Alas, the bomb was fake.

She deserved an apology, yesterday. Fuck CBS. Fuck Justin Timberlake

They absolutely should, that garbage ramen head, too. Her career essentially came to a stop because of that. I cannot imagine how violated I would feel to have something like that happen to me, and then essentially have the entire country demonizing you because of something you didn't do? Like, the response was wild and you know it would have been completely different had she been a white performer.

Janet was banned and JT was allowed to show up at the Grammys the very next weekend! Like the f!!!

The reaction she got was completely unjustifiable and racism was definitely a major factor, but wasn’t the whole thing planned? She had her nipple covered, they revealed her breast right when Justin sang “I'll have you naked by the end of this song…”…

It was a like a response to the Britney/Madonna kiss at the VMAs, but it backfired because people were racist, Justin threw her under the bus, not the same kind of audience, etc

The move was clearly choreographed but personally I'm not 100% convinced as much of the costume was supposed to come off as did. In the moments immediately after, before she could possibly have any sense of the reaction, she looked kinda shocked.

(But then, to argue with myself, I also don't see how from what the costume looked like that it could have come apart any other way)
