Justin Timberlake was ‘not respectful’ towards Britney Spears, per Kathy Griffin
In the promo for Kathy Griffin: Talk Your Head Off, the host recalled Justin Timberlake being disrespectful towards Britney Spears. The 64-year-old says, ” I wrote a little sketch where Britney and I were fighting over Justin. What I remember about this was that Britney was such a big star, she couldn’t come to rehearsal. ” As such, they had to rehearse for just a couple of minutes right before we went out on live network television.”
The award-winning comedian stated that Timberlake was not totally respectful of Spears during their little rehearsal. She added that Timberlake kept saying, “Baby don’t do it like that, Baby say it like this. Baby, don’t roll your eyes like that. Baby, don’t walk like that. ” Thus, Griffin went, “like baby, don’t make me hit you one more time. ” She added, “I just couldn’t figure out he was very let’s just say strict with her. “
“I actually talk about this and I talk about behind the scenes of this moment in my special, which you can see for free, ” the actor concluded while promoting the episode. Recently, it was reported that Timberlake supported Spears amid Kevin Federline’s memorial drama. A source told Star that the NSYNC alum thought “it’s despicable that Kevin’s hitting her with all these terrible insults and sleazy revelations about their time together while she’s at her lowest.'”
Timberlake is “not especially close” to his ex and was “frustrated” about the details she shared in her memoir. However, “he’s still got a soft spot and a lot of sympathy towards Britney.” The source continued, “Seeing her suffer makes him sad.” “It’s clear to him that the last thing she needs right now is being savaged by her ex,” the source added.
