CBSN
Justin Timberlake is speaking out in support of his former girlfriend Britney Spears after the pop star made a rare court appearance, demanding an end to her conservatorship.
"After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time," Timberlake tweeted Wednesday. "Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was... what's happening to her is just not right. No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body." "No one should EVER be held against their will... or ever have to ask permission to access everything they've worked so hard for," he said. "Jess and I send our love, and our absolute support to Britney during this time. We hope the courts, and her family make this right and let her live however she wants to live."
