Spears is known to have written in great detail about her personal experiences surrounding her high-profile relationship with her ex-partner. Justin Timberlake, which turned out not to be the fairy tale they were showing at the time. The “Baby One More Time” singer said she aborted the artist’s child when she was 19 and was able to confirm that both she and he were unfaithful during the relationship. He even admitted that it took him more than a year to get over the breakup. These revelations gave a complete twist to the well-known story and caused unrest among his fans.
Now it’s thanks to the actress Michelle Williams that the public has the opportunity to hear all of the legendary singer’s writings in a professional narration. This way, the experience becomes much more exciting and lively. In this way, Williams went viral, allowing users on social networks to relive a funny and unknown anecdote of Spears with a Timberlake who seemed to want to act like someone he was not.

In the scene, Spears, 41, describes the Cry Me a River singer, 42, tries to impress singer Ginuwine on his trip to New York. To achieve this, Williams didn’t hold back with his performance and surprised fans on social media.
“*NSYNC hung out with black artists. “Sometimes I thought they were trying too hard to fit in,” the Toxic singer writes. “One day J and I were in New York and drove to parts of the city I had never been to. On our way there was a man with a huge medallion. “He was flanked by two huge security guards,” he added.
Next, Michelle Williams began her interpretation: “J was excited and said very loudly, ‘Oh yeah, fo’ shiz fo’ shiz, Ginuwine, what’s up, friend?’ When Ginuwine left, Felicia [la asistente de Spears] “He imitated J… J wasn’t even embarrassed,” he said.
The American expression “fo’ shiz” or “fo’ shizzle” is a playful and informal way of saying “certainly,” which means “definitely” or “of course.” This slang is often used by those who are “gangsters” in the United States, such as the rapper Snoop Dogg.
The comments that came after the viral clip was shared were hilarious. The “Dawson’s Creek” actress was mostly flattered by users. “This will be the best audio clip since Watergate,” wrote one fan on the X platform. Others said Williams’ imitation deserved a special award. “What will happen if Michelle Williams wins the Grammy for Best Audiobook Recording for this reading?” they joked.
