The Next Celebrity Divorce:

Justin Timberlake Apologizes to Wife Jessica Biel After 'Strong Lapse in Judgment'

"The singer and actor, 38, shared an apology to his wife of seven years, Jessica Biel on Instagram Wednesday night, writing, 'I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family, I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love'. "

I never saw Biel appeal. At least Justin was once cute and even sexy, a billion years ago. They both look full of themselves and fake.

This could be for publicity. Timberlake has been over with for a while and Biel has been over with ever since she ripped Aaron Spelling in the press. And that was a really long time ago.

Think about it...this happens OPENLY IN PUBLIC in the presence of HANDLERS and they both issue PUBLIC STATEMENTS within 24 hours ? They could have ignored it and nobody would be talking about it today...instead, its become a creation with life. OBVIOUS STUNT. Now everyone is talking about them for the first time in YEARS, theyre talking about his co-star, and theyre talking about his new project.

Good point R15.

Justine is sure getting desperate for attention.

by Anonymousreply 16December 5, 2019 2:02 AM

Na I think she's threatening to end it and this public apology is his bid to show he is sorry. When is cheating ever a good 'publicity stunt'? He has too many middle aged female fans who will change their perspective of him to risk that.

You must be kidding. She is and was WAY hotter than he is. He is pretty unattractive.

by Anonymousreply 21December 5, 2019 2:14 AM

r17....really ? They can milk this for a year or more. He becomes repentant and it fuels countless stories of them "working" on their marriage. JT will probably claim hes going to rehab to save his marriage. Then, right before the new show starts, the stories will start questioning whether JT can control himself on set and whether his costar can keep her hands to herself...and that will lead to more stories of a jilted and fed up Jessica. Its a cycle that once it gets started, fuels itself and is worth a fortune. See...Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston...Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie...or even Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Hell, Aniston still gets major PR off of her marriage to BP and theyve been divorced for over a decade.

What's ironic is that he recently fired his PR team because of all the bad press he'd been getting due to his Super Bowl performance and flop album. And then he goes and does this, ensuring at least another year of unflattering media coverage.

I've said it before but he is paying the price for all his asshole behaviour. If he thought this was going to help, he is even more stupid than I realized.

The only way he can generate any good buzz in his favour is reuniting with N*Sync. And he won't do that.

by Anonymousreply 47December 5, 2019 4:27 AM

This blind is them.

This major celebrity seems to be making a lot of bad decisions lately!

He is known primarily as a singer, but he did start out on a TV show and picks up the occasional acting gig.

Despite his all-American appearance and amiable demeanor, he’s actually not the nicest guy in the world. He has a family but has been cheating on his actress wife forever.

Oh, and he gets really stupid when he drinks.

His long-time publicist used to do a good job covering up his indiscretions.

If a rumor was about to break about him spending too much time with a member of the opposite sex, you would suddenly see articles appearing about how in love he was with his wife and how wonderful their life is together. Those articles would effectively dilute the rumor and tilt the narrative back in his favor.

For some reason, he fired that long-time publicist last year and hired a very large PR firm instead.

Sad for the ex-publicist. A major win for the new publicist.

However, after Singer was caught getting drunk and flirty with a co-star recently, there was a surprising lack of damage control. He simply went back to work, looking downcast and slightly embarrassed.

Where is the spin from his new PR firm? It’s not like them to sit back and do so little when a star is in crisis.

Maybe they have a secret, long-term plan? Or maybe they are they so busy with their newest high-profile client (a former TV actress who recently married well) that they left our singer to fend for himself?

We do know that this lack of action has his wife – who has a different publicist – royally pissed!

What he does reflects on her. Every time he behaves like an assh*le it makes her look like a fool for staying with him. She is sick of it. Their marriage is in trouble and her PR firm is not going to jump in to save him. This is his mess to fix, not hers.

He’d better fix it fast.

This would never be a stunt, just not even thinkable if she has any say in it.

I don’t think it is a publicity stunt, what is in it for Wainwright? Raising Dion just came out in October and now she’s filming a movie with Timberlake. She doesn’t need the negative attention of being a scorned sidepiece. Only logical explanation is that she really is a scorned sidepiece.

Wendy Williams unintentionally confirmed that this is a publicity stunt.

"Williams then said Biel probably 'grabbed [Justin] by the scruff of his neck and said you better get out there and say something," she continued. 'Which is only making it a bigger situation than it was. I had forgotten'. "

R54....This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with being a woman. Its about business and generating publicity for not one, but two celebrities who are desperate for press. You dont understand how the PR game is played. Remember...THERE IS NO BAD PUBLICITY IF YOU PLAY IT RIGHT. Him being drunk and his co-star putting her hand on his knee IN PUBLIC, WITH HIS HANDLERS RIGHT THERE IS NOT HUMILIATION. Him making out with the co-star IN PUBLIC....or knocking up his co-star IS HUMILIATING. Buying into this ploy and feeding it accomplishes their objective.

R66 you may be correct. I never understood his appeal. Somebody posted about his former cute hair, a Jheri curl. That was no Jheri curl, that was his, which looked like pubic hair! All the misplaced attention way overinflated his ego. His appearances on SNL demonstrated that. Surveillance photos of him in shorts with cigarette butts in hand showed he's like Britney -- white trash.

R61, I thought the same thing. I've always thought he was gay and just used Jessica (and before that Brit-Brit) as a beard. He and Fallon both strike me as gay, but I guess their careers would be over if they didn't have wives to brush away the rumors. I have no inside info; it's just what I think when I see them.

R67 When I first became of Timberlake I thought, "Just another little tycoon." And I was right. He's another Taylor, another Jay-Z , not an artist, just a businessman. He was very popular for awhile. Wonder why his music and movie empire have collapsed.

He did some movie where he was supposed to be all "gansta". Walking around in a tank top with his fedora slanted over one eye and strutting. Maybe that's what ruined him, that he expected the world to believe that this spoiled rotten Disney kid/former boy-band pin-up boy was supposed to be, um, like, the ultimate badass!! (Ultimate eye roll!)

I always got his appeal--he does have a very nice voice, and he has a tight body and a sexy bulbed nose that looked like a glans. And he's got a good sense of humor and is good at comedy.

He's had trouble fitting his image to fit with his advancing age--and for some reason he has bad taste in movie scripts.

R75 from surveillance photos I've seen I don't have reason to believe Timberlake is gay. Bi, possibly. Why would a bi man need a beard? Don't know anything about Biel's sexual orientation.
