Justin Timberlake has ace up his sleeve that will 'overshadow Britney Spears'
Justin Timberlake has been advised on which move to take next amid the bombshells dropped by Britney Spears and her tell-all memoir.
In the book, titled The Woman In Me, Britney shares the dark secrets of her three-year relationship with Justin, revealing that she fell pregnant with his child and had an abortion and claiming that he cheated on her with All Saints star Nicole Appleton, another unnamed celebrity and "slept with six of seven girls" in the weeks after they "officially" broke up in 2002.
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.”

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.
Now, PR expert Matt Yanofsky, CEO and founder of The Moment Lab, exclusively told us that if Justin comments, he could "add fuel to the fire," but the Cry Me A River singer has one move left that could "overshadow anything Britney has said."
He told us: "Even if Justin was in the right, he will only add fuel to the fire if he comments. Freezing Instagram comments has created a news cycle of its own.
Justin should focus on his NSYNC comeback (Getty Images)

A real NSYNC reunion, complete with a tour, would be so big, it would overshadow anything Britney has said. He's resisted a reunion tour for decades, but a reunion tour is his best card he can play to turn the tide away from this fiasco."
Luckily, a source has said Justin's bandmates Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez "have nothing but love for Justin". Speaking to TMZ, the source also said the pals would be "more than happy to be back performing with him".
