SATURDAY Night Live fans were left angry after Justin Timberlake made an appearance on the show.
Viewers thought he shouldn’t be allowed due to his supposed previous actions against his ex-girlfriend, Britney Spears.

Justin appeared on SNL over the weekend alongside host Dakota Johnson.
He interrupted her initial monologue and later appeared to perform his latest single, Selfish.
The appearance came days after the star announced he is going on tour in 2024 while on Jimmy Fallon‘s show.
Fans, however, were shocked at the singer’s appearance and flooded X, formerly Twitter, to express their outrage.

“So, do we like Justin again because I thought we were still holding him accountable for his s***ty actions. But whatever you guys wanna do. I guess I’m down. #snl,” one user wrote.
Several were shocked that the star was allowed on after Britney released supposedly damning information about him in her memoir, The Woman In Me late last year.
“I feel like at this point the only people that like Justin Timberlakes music is Justin Timberlake and his wife and the few people that didn’t read Britney’s new book or know WHAT HE DID TO JC other then that we all know better,” added another with a video of someone throwing their trash away.
“Justin Timberlake coming out to ‘crash’ Dakota Johnson’s monologue on SNL just cements why I dislike him.
TROUBLE FOR TIMBERLAKE
“Like where is the self awareness to bow out of a skit where you try & overshadow the female host, knowing damn well you have past allegations of being super misogynistic,” wrote a third.
“For everyone liking Justin Timberlake’s #snl performance, said a fourth and added a video of Britney looking uncomfortable.
“Justin Timberlake. No thank you. That’s a HARD pass,” noted a fourth.
Justin’s appearance marked his first song in almost 6 years, in which he may have taken time off to deal with his rollercoaster private life.
BACKLASH
The NSYNC star faced major backlash late last year, after the release of Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me.
Britney made a series of never-before-heard claims about her ex.
She claimed that he got her pregnant during their relationship, which lasted from 1999 to 2002.
The Toxic singer decided to have an abortion – a decision Justin supported and even pushed her into but she later came to regret.
CHEATING?
The revelations didn’t stop there, with Britney also claiming that Justin cheated on her.
Britney said Justin stepped out on her with another female musician whom she didn’t name as she now has a family.
While Britney didn’t reveal her identity, it appears it may have been revealed after a little investigation by Page Six.
According to the outlet, the Mirrors singer was photographed out and about with All Saints singer Nicole Appleton in 2000.
A newspaper clipping about the sighting resurfaced on social media, showing Justin – only 19 at the time – and the British singer ducking down in the back seat of a car as they unsuccessfully tried to hide from photographers nearby.
