Nicole Appleton responds to Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ cheating rumors
Nicole Appleton responded to Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears’ cheating rumors by seemingly deactivating her social media account.
In her memoir, TMZ reported that Britney doesn’t reveal the name of the celebrity who had an affair with Justin Timberlake but they did say that the person “now has a family” and that she “doesn’t want to embarrass” them.
However, a (deeply sexist and creepy) old newspaper clipping from 2000 resurfaced, suggesting that it could’ve been All Saints singer Nicole Appleton as Justin and Nicole were papped together while out and about in London.
“All Saint Nicole Appleton turned all why when she was spotted on a night out with Justin Timberlake, of his boyband NSYNC. Nic, whose group shot straight into the charts at No. 1, with “Pure Shores” certainly looked like she had something to hide when she returned to Justin’s hotel in London. She and Justin kept their eyes down as they were driven together from London’s Mayfair club to the swanky St. Martin’s Lane Hotel.”
The clip continued: “Since being dumped by fiancé Robbie Williams, Nicole has gone from one relationship to another. She dated Bush rocker Gavin Rosedale until December, before being linked to Hornblower actor Ioan Gruffudd. And Justin has been dating American teen temptress* Britney Spears.”
*Editor’s note: YUCK.
“Britney had her questions about who he was with, as stuff would be out in the press,” a source told The Sun. “They were very famous. He’d be out with some girl from All Saints, and she’d get very jealous.”
