A clip ofMichelle Williamsreading an excerpt aboutJustin Timberlakefrom Britney Spears’s memoir is going viral.
Of course, Britney’s hotly anticipatedThe Woman in Meis now out. Voicing the audiobook is none other than Oscar-nominated actor Michelle Williams. While a number ofrevelationsfrom the book are incredibly moving, especially over the injustice Britney faced during her conservatorship, there’s one particular segment about Britney’s ex that’s been making the rounds.

In case you need a transcript, the excerpt says of Justin, “His band NSYNC was what people back then called ‘so pimp.’ They were white boys, but they loved hip-hop. To me, that’s what separated them from theBackstreet Boys, who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group. NSYNC hung out with Black artists. Sometimes, I thought they tried too hard to fit in."
A run-in with a famous Black artist is where things got…interesting. Michelle as Britney continued, “One day, [Justin] and I were inNew York, going to parts of town I’d never been to before. Walking our way was a guy wearing a huge blinged-out medallion. He was flanked by two giant security guards. J got all excited and said so loud, ‘Oh yeah. Fo’ shiz. Fo’ shiz. Ginuwine what’s up homie?’”
“After Ginuwine walked away, Felicia did an impression of J: ‘Oh yeah. Fo’ siz. Fo’ siz. Ginuwine…’ J wasn’t even embarrassed. He just took it and looked at her like, ‘Okay, fuck you Felicia,'” she concluded.
The clip, with Michelle’s narration, quickly started to gain traction:
