The singer and actor Justin Timberlake apologised to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson in a vague but earnest Instagram post, a week after a documentary on Spears set off a wave of criticism of Timberlake for how he treated the pop star after their breakup. The apology to Jackson seemed to stem from the infamous Super Bowl halftime performance in 2004, when a closing duet between Timberlake and Jackson ended with Timberlake singing “Bet I’ll have you naked by the end of this song.”
