Justin Timberlake has made his first appearance in public after being slammed in Britney Spears' memoir The Woman In Me.

The Sexyback singer appeared at the film premiere of his movie Trolls Band Together. It's the third movie instalment of the Trolls franchise, but the film hasn't been the reason that everyone has been talking about Justin.

Last month, Britney released her memoir and dropped bombshell after bombshell about Justin. The pair had dated from 1999 to 2002. She shared that Justin got her pregnant and she had an abortion after he said he wasn't ready to be a father. Her book also revealed that Justin broke up with her over text message and she almost left show business from being so heartbroken.

Justin was supported by his wife Jessica Biel at the movie screening which took place in Los Angeles. The couple were recently pictured in Mexico as Justin attended a PGA golf tournament.

The singer's *NSYNC bandmates were also in attendance at the Trolls premiere. They're believed to have been standing by Justin following Britney's explosive accusations.

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".

After Justin's split from Britney, he released his song Cry Me A River, which hinted at a past lover being unfaithful. The video also featured a Britney look-a-like as the main girl.

Besides slamming Justin for how he treated her, Britney also shared that he reportedly used a blaccent when talking to musician Ginuwine. Justin hasn't spoken out publicly against Britney's claims in her memoir but has since turned off his Instagram comments to shield himself from negative comments.

Justin's frequent collaborator, producer Timbaland said in an interview that he told Justin: "You should have put a muzzle on that girl," when asked about Britney's memoir. He later apologised for his comments after online hate and because Missy Elliot reportedly told him to.

The former *NSYNC member reunited with his former bandmates to record a song for the first time in over 20 years together for this new Trolls movie. Lance Bass, his former bandmate, also gave an update on Justin in an interview after the memoir's release, where he said: "We're all good. People will survive."
