Britney Spears Seemingly Responds to Justin Timberlake’s ’No Disrespect’ Disclaimer After His Las Vegas Show

The post came two days after Timberlake said “no disrespect” before singing his 2002 song “Cry Me a River” in front of a star-studded crowd at the Fontainebleau opening night in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Spears shared a video of a leopard standing between two men dancing around a pole and a man standing upside down against a wall.
