Justin Timberlake is receiving some grace after the memoir of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears produced a litany of unfavorable claims against him.

Among other reasons, Timberlake went viral earlier this year when the audiobook version of Spears memoir saw actor Michelle Williams recreate an exaggerated voice Timberlake allegedly used when meeting singer Ginuwine , who is Black.

In addition to claims that Timberlake cheated on Spears and urged her to get an abortion , Spears writes that Timberlake tried too hard to fit in with the Black entertainers in his orbit. One of those instances allegedly involved the Pony singer in New York City.

One day J and I were in New York, going to parts of town Id never been to before, Williams read from Spears memoir, The Woman in Me. Walking our way was a guy with a huge, blinged-out medallion. He was flanked by two giant security guards.

J got all excited and said so loud: Oh yeah, fo shiz fo shiz, Ginuwine, whats up homie? she continued in Timberlakes purported African American Vernacular English accent, which inspired mockery online when the audiobook was released in October.

Sources told Entertainment Tonight at the time that Timberlake was focusing on his own family and trying not to concern himself with Britneys memoir. Now, Ginuwine has finally heard about the moment going viral and says Timberlake is cool.

Nah, I dont remember that, the singer told Billboard through laughter in an interview Thursday .
