Justin Timberlake is reportedly thinking of doing a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in the wake of his feud with his ex Britney Spears.
The former NSYNC member, 42, was accused of mocking the Toxic singer, 42, last week at his birthday concert when he said he had no oneto apologise to before he launched into his track Cry Me a River, said to be about Spears cheating on him when they were together.
A source has now told The Sun about how he wants to use a chat with Oprah, 70, to publicly address the fallout of his fresh spat with the singer: “Justin is really not happy how things have gone down. He wanted the music to speak for itself but that’s clearly not happening.
“His comments on stage have only added fuel to the fire. The idea of a sit-down chat with someone like Oprah Winfrey was floated months ago and is now back on the cards.
“He really doesn’t want to do it but the louder the backlash gets the more he feels he may have to.”
Timberlake told fans at his ‘One Night Only’ gig at Irving Plaza in New York City on January 31, held on his 42nd birthday: “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to absolutely nobody.”
His declaration and song choice of Cry Me a River left fans convinced he was having a pop at Spears, with some ranting online his statement was a disgrace.
She then addressed the singer directly, adding: “I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song Selfish.

“It is soo good and how come every time I see Justin and Jimmy (Fallon) together I laugh so hard???”
Spears also said Timberlake’s tune Sanctified was a “wow” song.
She said in her memoir she had cheated on the star “one time” with dancer and choreographer Wade Robson, 41.
Timberlake has been settled with actress Jessica Biel, 41, since they married in 2012 and the pair have sons Silas, eight, and three-year-old Phineas.
Spears – who has sons Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17, with her 45-year-old DJ ex-husband Kevin Federline – is currently going through a divorce from her 29-year-old fitness trainer former partner Sam Asghari.
