According to the “Toxic” singer, Timberlake cheated on her during their Y2K relationship.
The newspaper clipping claimed that the pair had snuck away to his hotel room.
Appleton has not confirmed nor denied whether this link to Timberlake is what Spears was referencing.

However, she did make an interesting move following the memoir’s October 2023 release.
Instead of speaking out, Appleton seemingly deactivated her social media.
This was reportedly made apparent by Spears' hard feelings toward Appleton.

“I knew they had some issues.
She had her questions about who he was with because stuff would be out in the press.
They were very famous.

Kaye told the outlet.
It’s unlikely that Appleton will ever speak out about what transpired between her, Timberlake, and Spears.
Appleton has had her own high-profile relationships, one of which was with rocker Liam Gallagher.
She and the Oasis lead singer began dating in 2000 and married eight years later before divorcing in 2013.
