What the what?!
We almost NEVER hear Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears publicly discussing their former relationship as teen pop sensations, nor their subsequent, controversial break-up that inspired their respective singles Cry Me A River and Everytime…but apparently now, we don’t have to!
Because none other than Brit’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, took to Twitter earlier today to take a trip down memory lane, and accidentally stir up some CONTROVERSY in the process!
It all started when the recently engaged, aspiring country singer messaged her big sister’s former love in 140 characters or less, praising the music on his new album, The 20/20 Experience, and sharing a vintage photo of three together (above):
@jtimberlake Weird hearing ur music as an Adult. Ha. Not only do I appreciate it. I GET it. #jay #crymeariver #mirror.
However, what appeared to be just a harmless “hello” immediately caused outrage among Britney fans, who found her mentioning the now-classic break-up anthem distasteful, as it was written about her sister!
Jamie Lynn then replaced the original message with:
I hope you all know that my tweets are only to support my sister @britneyspears – anything left over was to @jtimberlake #sisterlove #4eva.
A little confusing, right?
However, we think she just means here that although family is her first priority, there’s nothing wrong with touching base with an old friend!
But who knows?
All the messages are long gone now, so we doubt we’ll ever get any real clarification from Miss Jamie Lynn…nor Brit Brit, nor JT, for that matter!
But what do U think?? Was Jamie Lynn out of line with her trip down memory lane??
