To be a Disney Channel star back in its heyday would be the dream of any kid.

Among some of the shows you’d see back in those days would be Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens, So Weird, and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. As such, the Disney Channel has produced include Selena Gomez, Christina Aguilera, Raven Symone, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, and Demi Lovato.

But neither of those are the celebrities involved in this particular scandal (for lack of a better term).

Justin Timberlake vs. Britney Spears Lawsuit

A few months ago, former Mouseketeer Britney Spears released a tell-all book titled The Woman in Me. In the Britney Spears memoir, she discusses her stardom, including her time as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club, her first kiss with fellow Mouseketeer Justin Timberlake, and the fun aspects of being on that show.

However, she also goes into her personal relationship with Justin Timberlake (post Mickey Mouse Club), including an abortion he pressured her to get, racist accents he would use, and other details that don’t make the star look too good.

Potential Lawsuit

As such, Timberlake has expressed interest in suing Spears over claims of defamation. However, some legal experts claim Timberlake would have to prove the allegations made by Britney Spears are untrue. But that is not easy.

It’s also been suggested that the pop star can always cite freedom of speech as a defense if such a lawsuit is filed.

Reports of Justin Timberlake mulling over a lawsuit have occurred since October 2023. If he does move forward with legal action, we could see something as big as the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial.

Then again, there could just be a quiet settlement that puts the talk of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears lawsuit to rest. We will all have to wait and see…

About Steven

Steven has a complicated relationship with Disney. As a child, he visited Walt Disney World every few years with his family. But he never understood why kids his age (and older) were so scared of Snow White or Alien Encounter. He is a former participant of the Disney College Program (left early…long story), and he also previously worked in Children’s publishing, where he adapted multiple Disney movies and TV shows. He has many controversial opinions about Disney…like having a positive view of Michael Eisner, believing Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, and that Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge should have never been built (at least not at Hollywood Studios). Every year for the past two decades, Steven has visited either Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani or went on a Disney Cruise. He’s happy to share any and all knowledge of the Disney destinations (and he likes using parenthesis a lot…as well as ellipses…)
