NEWSBritney Spears Seemingly Bashes Ex-Boyfriend Justin Timberlake In Scathing Since-Deleted Post
Mar. 29 2022, Published 9:51 a.m. ET
Britney Spears just threw shade at a former boyfriend, and it seems all signs are pointing to her infamous ex Justin Timberlake.
The pop star, 40 — who dated Justin for three years before their messy split in 2002 — appeared to call out the "Sexy Back" singer in one of her latest social media rants.
In a since-deleted post on Instagram, the "Circus" artist went on a tangent about having a "calling last night from Jesus," who told her that her ex — who she didn't refer to by name — used her for "fame and attention."
"He served with his first album using your name claiming you did him dirty !!!!," she wrote in the post of her apparent calling on Monday, March 28, per Daily Mail.
Even though she didn't drop his name, many fans were convinced Britney was referring to Justin, 41, considering their notorious breakup.
The former pair — who were an iconic duo during the time — abruptly broke up in 2002, with Justin later hinting that Britney was unfaithful during their relationship, causing her to be villainized by much of the public.
Justin then released a music video for his hit song, "Cry Me A River," which featured a Britney lookalike who played his cheating ex-girlfriend.

But Justin wasn't the only person Britney took aim at in Monday's Instagram post, as she also called out her mother, Lynne Spears, and estranged sister Jamie Lynn Spears.
She slammed her mom for releasing a book "at the exact time when [she] needed her most," referring to Lynne's 2008 memoir: Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, which came out a year after Britney's public meltdown.
The Princess of Pop went on to bash her sister for releasing her own book during "one of the hardest times" in her life, as Jamie Lynn dropped her memoir shortly after Britney's near 14-year conservatorship was terminated in November 2021.
"Knowing doing a book is the last thing you would ever do...well because you ran away from drama and created a dream world for yourself...that's why artists play characters to escape !!!!!," she continued while addressing Jamie Lynn.
Britney and Jamie Lynn have been at odds since the Sweet Magnolia actress released her bombshell memoir, Things I Should Have Said, earlier this year.
At the time of the book's release, Britney called out her younger sister for "lying through your teeth about me !!!!!," as OK! learned.
"I wish the almighty, Lord would could come down and show this whole world that you’re lying and making money off of me !!!! You are scum, Jamie Lynn," she wrote via Instagram, as her little sis continued to promote her tell-all about growing up in their famous family.
