Justin Timberlake has broken his silence on the accusations leveled against him following the Framing Britney Spears documentary.

The star released a lengthy statement on Friday, in which he said he was sorry for his behavior towards his ex-girlfriend, Britney Spears. He also apologized to Janet Jackson for the almost 20-year-old Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction scandal.

โ€œIve seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond,โ€ he wrote. โ€œI am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right. I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.โ€

โ€œI specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.โ€

He closed his remarks by stating, โ€œI also feel compelled to respond, in part, because everyone involved deserves better and most importantly, because this is a Larter conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow fromโ€ฆโ€

Fans said they were โ€œdisgustedโ€ and appalledโ€ by Justinโ€™s casual remarks about taking his girlfriendโ€™s virginity which aired in the documentary this week.
