Lance Bass Speaks on Justin Timberlake Backlash from Britney Spears Book

Lance Bass believes that Justin Timberlake will be alright in the end even with the backlash over the Britney Spears memoir.

Bass gave a rare update to his fellow NSYNC member while speaking to People as of late.

When asked how the situation was going with Timberlake, 42, amid the the recent controversy, Bass, 44, stated that “all” of his bandmates are “good” noting that “People will survive.”

Bass did not speak directly on Timberlake’s mindset as of this time around, but he did tell TMZ last month that Britney Spears fans should forgive her ex for the bombshells in her book ‘The Woman in Me‘ just as “Britney did.”

Bass has also noted that Britney Spears should take lead from her example and “practice a little forgiveness” after she made the statement that Timberlake had pressured her into an “excruciating” abortion, cheated on her, and broke up with her via text during their three-year relationship.

“Look, everyone has their own opinion,” he continued at the time. “I feel like the world is so full of hate right now. Everyone deserves to tell their story, she did, and I hope the fans can find some forgiveness.”

The singer also went on to mention that he also purchased a copy of the best selling book and planned to read it himself.

Timberlake has not made any statement regarding the recent headlines, but according to sources near the “Trolls” singer he is “not at all happy” with the revelations coming to light.

Before the book came out in October 24th, an insider told Page Six exclusively that the “Mirrors” crooner was “concerned” about what would be inside the book.

Timberlake has disabled his comments as of late and has laid low since the memoir hit the shelves.

“My book’s purpose was not to offend anyone by any means!” the “Crossroads” actress, 41, wrote in a lengthy post. “That was me then … the past is in the past !!!

“Most of the book is from 20 years ago,” Spears, who dated Timberlake from 1999 to 2002, continued. “I have moved on and it’s a beautiful clean slate from here !!!”
