Britney Spears' fans "won't let Justin Timberlake get away with being silent" according to a top PR expert.
The Oops I Did It Again singer revealed that she fell pregnant with her ex's child, but decided to have an abortion as he thought they were "too young" to have a baby. Sources have now revealed that the admission couldn't have come at a worse time for Justin, who is preparing to make a musical comeback
"Justin owns who he was when he and Britney were together, even though his personality, career, lifestyle, and personal priorities are radically different now, 20 years later," the source revealed. “This book is a nightmare for him because of how it throws the whole family into chaos. The timing stings just as much as the revelation itself."

Justin has been urged to speak out"Justin had a big fall planned with new music on deck, more work with his old friends in 'NSYNC, and of course, the next installment of the Trolls franchise, which has been a huge moneymaker for Justin over the last several years," the insider told the US Sun.

Now PR expert, Andy Barr of 10 Yetis has agreed that while the news will "come as a blow" for Justin, who is "notoriously quiet" about his private life, it's unlikely that fans will "let with get away with just saying nothing."
Andy told us: “This will come as a body blow to Timberlake given he is notoriously quiet about his private life. Coming out and talking about it could help him show his, often hidden, more vulnerable side but this would be massively in contrast to his media approach to date, and who can blame him.

Whilst this approach may have worked 5 or 10 years ago, we live in a more open and transparent world and I am not sure his fans will let him get away with just saying nothing.
"Team Timberlake will be watching sales figures closely to assess the damage and then make a decision as to going public with his thoughts on this. We have to remember though, this is a deeply personal issue to both of them and their well-being should be at the forefront of all of our minds," he added.
