Justin Timberlake Slammed For Controversial Golden Globes Outfit [PHOTOS]
Fans were not thrilled when Justin Timberlake showed up to the 2018 Golden Globe Awards wearing a Time’s Up pin. The “Filthy” singer received a ton of backlash from fans after he shared a photo of himself and wife Jessica Biel on Instagram showing support for the movement even though he has worked with Woody Allen.
Timberlake shared the photo on Sunday night ahead of the ceremony. “Here we come!! And DAMN, my wife is hot! #TIMESUP #whywewearblack,” the caption read.
The Time’s Up initiative was the driving force behind the many celebrities who wore black on the red carpet as a sign of support for those who came forward about the sexual harassment that happens behind closed doors in Hollywood.
However, fans couldn’t understand why Timberlake would wear the pin when he worked on Allen’s film “Wonder Wheel” despite the fact the director was investigated in 1992 for sexually abusing his daughter with Mia Farrow, Dylan Farrow.
Those upset about the pin took to Twitter to voice their opinion about Timberlake’s choice of accessory.
“Watching the TL drag Justin Timberlake for pretending to care about sexual assault bc he was ina Woody Allen film,” one Twitter user wrote.
One person chose to bring up Timberlake’s past performance at the 2004 Super Bowl where he ripped Janet Jackson’s costume and exposed her breast on live television.
“You starred in Woody Allen’s new movie. You built a career on malicious misogyny towards Britney Spears. You left Janet Jackson out to dry. This is pure performative fraud,” the individual wrote.
“I’m sorry but actors and actresses who have worked or praised abusers like Woody Allen eg. Justin Timberlake, Timothy Chalamet and Armie Hammer have NO right to wear the #TimesUp pin or wear black tonight. we’ve heard their voices, they sided with the abuser. #GoldenGlobes,” another person tweeted.
Justin Timberlake is wearing black tonight and a #TIMESUP pin. He recently starred in a Woody Allen film. He chose to work with a known pedophile. His actions do not support survivors of sexual violence. His participation in this action degrades this movement. #GoldenGlobes

I think it's a bit hypocritical that #JustinTimberlake is wearing black at the #GoldenGlobes when he still hasn't apologised to #JanetJackson for what he did to her in 2004.

Is it hypocritical that, for example, Justin Timberlake is head to toe in black but was in the last Woody Allen movie?

Justin Timberlake still hasn’t apologized to the one Black woman by the name of Janet Jackson, that he left to the wolves to be blacklisted by the music industry and NFL yet he is there at the #GoldebGlobes to support #TimesUp and the #MeToo movement. 😴😴😴
