Britney Spears' latest memoir revealed a lot of new information about boybander Justin Timberlake that has fans truly upset.

Seemingly as a result of the online hate, Justin turned off his Instagram comments which will limit the messages displayed on his photos. The claims from Britney include that Justin got her pregnant, but didn't want to be a father so they opted for an abortion. Plus, the pop princess claimed that Justin would put on a blaccent around Ginuwine.

Writing about his band *NSYNC, Britney said: "They were white boys, but they loved hip-hop. To me, that’s what separated them from the Backstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group. *NSYNC hung out with black artists. Sometimes I thought they tried too hard to fit in.”

A source told Page Six that Justin made the decision in an effort to get rid of the “hateful, disgusting things people were saying." Additionally, an insider told the Daily Mail that he is "not happy" about the claims Britney is making, but hasn't yet talked to her about it. Other than the silencing move on Instagram, Justin has not publicly addressed the controversies.

It was previously reported that Justin was 'nervous' about the book's release. A source said: "There is some major tea regarding Justin Timberlake that may be shared in her book that happened during their relationship. She may or may not have published it, but if she did, it will definitely paint him a light that isn't so favourable ... again."

The insider stressed at the time that Britney doesn't necessarily "attack" Justin, but rather uses this as an opportunity to tell her truth. Nonetheless, Britney reportedly received a warning prior to the memoir's publication asking her to remove some information or face potential legal consequences. It is uncertain what that exact information was and if it was actually cut from the book.

An insider told The Sun : "Lawyers demanded to see her book in advance and were adamant that some of the revelations were removed. There are still plenty of gobsmacking tales but Timberlake and Farrell were conscious about what could be said about them."
