I always thought Justin was unsure about leaving the group. I mean even in interviews overseas he was still talking about being both solo and in the group and making more albums with them even after solo success, when he really didn't have many international Nsync fans to be reassuring etc and had little reason to even comment on it. I definitely think it took a while for him to decide to end it. The blaming them thing is not cool though. I certainly hope there was more to it than that.
I agree. I don't think he knew right away that he wanted to end the group. I'm not going to sit here and defend him because I still don't know everything that went down but supposedly the guys are all friends now and aren't sitting around holding grudges.

Of course, I see that everyone is now ready to jump all over Justin before reading the entire book. Sure didn't take long for all of you to abandon the "wait and see" attitude and not judge things out of context.
