In 2002, the couple abruptly split, and, pretty quickly, Timberlake snagged the role of victim, going on interview circuits and talking about being cheated on while also slut-shaming Spears. Some of these clips made it into the "Framing Britney Spears" documentary.
"He has gone on television and pretty much said you broke his heart," Diane Sawyer tells Spears in one interview clip. "You did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering — what did you do?"
Timberlake also bragged about sleeping with Spears in several different interviews — occasionally alluding to graphic details — and, during one Barbara Walters interview, outright laughed when Walters asked if Spears had kept her promise to wait until marriage to have sex.
"The way that people treated her, to be very high school about it, was like she was the school slut and he was the quarterback," The New York Times critic at large Wesley Morris says in the documentary.
