Justin Timberlake Dumped Britney Spears VIA TEXT MESSAGE, Says Director Chris Applebaum!

perezhilton.com:

Whoa! The director of one of Britney Spears’ music videos just spilled some major tea about the AWFUL way Justin Timberlake apparently broke up with her more than 20 years ago!

Back in the day, the singers were one of the world’s hottest couples between 1999 and 2002. So when they ended up calling it quits suddenly, many people were surprised by the news, and of course, speculation ensued.

And one of the biggest rumors to come out of the breakup? That Britney had been cheating on Justin. Adding fuel to the fire at the time, the *NSYNC member dropped the track Cry Me a River shortly after things ended between them, which featured lyrics that further suggested Brit had stepped out.

While Justin never confirmed the rumors, he certainly never took the time to stop his ex from becoming the villain of their split.
