Justin’s former bandmate tells everyone to get off Britney’s case…

JC Chasez has called for everyone to leave Britney alone, amidst claims that she’s on the verge of a breakdown.

The former *N Sync star, who will soon release the follow-up to his 2004 debut solo album, chatted to MTV News’s Tim Kash down at London Fashion Week, lending his support to his former bandmate’s former sweetheart. “This poor girl is in the middle of a divorce!” Said Chasez. “There is no denying it.

“I’ve known her since she was 12 years old. She is one of the sweetest people you have ever met. She has a heart of gold. A divorce at 25 is never going to be easy.

“The one person that she trusted more than anybody in the world now, is not with her. It’s a transition and I genuinely feel bad for her. I mean sure she goes out with a beer and cigarette in her hand and everybody flips out. She is 25 kids! It’s not illegal.”

Meanwhile in non-Britney news, JC also spoke to Tim about working with Justin Timberlake on his new solo album. “The first single is with Justin,” JC told Kash. “It’s called ‘Until Yesterday’.

“The vibe is a very dramatic record. But tongue and cheek as well. There is a great story of you falling apart in this relationship. The actual story is you have been dating this girl for a while. You get her pregnant; you think it’s your baby. She has the baby. She has the baby; it’s not your baby. Hence, I loved you all the way until yesterday.”
