Justin Timberlake's responded to the 'Take Back The Night' controversy, calling it a "coincidence"

  • July 17, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

JustinJustin 'JT' Timberlake has responded to the con­tro­versy sur­round­ing his new single 'Take Back The Night' and basically he just didn't know the sexual assault awareness found­a­tion of the same name even existed.

In a statement (quoted here), the 'Dick In A Box' hitmaker said: "Upon the release of my new single, 'Take Back The Night,' I was made aware of an organ­iz­a­tion [he means organ­isa­tion] of the same name called The Take Back the Night Foundation.

"I wanted to take this oppor­tun­ity to let all know that neither my song nor its lyrics have any asso­ci­ation with the organization."

He also added that he was moved by the organisation's efforts to stop violence towards women, before adding: "It is my hope that this coin­cid­ence will bring more awareness to this cause."

So that's what Justin has to say on the matter. A load of fluff.
