Justin Timberlake goes viral for an awkward bulge moment
New video shows Justin Timberlake let the groove come in during his concert in Nashville last week as he vied on stage to his hit song “Mirrors” all while strapped into a harness.
But that harness would prove disastrous moments later when, given the nature of the equipment, Timberlake’s nether region was highlighted in a way that left little to the imagination.
The moment inside the Bridgestone Arena was caught on camera and subsequently went viral online.

The court of public opinion was ruthless with Timberlake on social media, with many questioning why he incorporated a harness into his performance in the first place. “He doesn’t have a single song that calls for this,” one TikTok user commented on a shared video. “Why does he have a harness anyway?” asked another.
Others expressed their concern about quality control. “The way my jaw dropped. BABY NOBODY TOLD HIM during rehearsals? Ew,” one person commented. “His whole team is just sabotaging him,” someone wrote.

Many also came to the “Sexy Back” singer’s defense, citing how wrong it was to publicly shame the man for his looks.
“You’re all pathetic. The man is wearing several pairs of underwear and the harness was clearly pulling more on his right pant leg than it was meant to. It’s extra fabric. Get a life!!!” wrote a disgruntled fan. Another comment said: “So apparently shaming a man’s body parts is ok in 2024. Women really don’t learn anything it seems.”
A representative for Timberlake did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Of course, this is not the first time that Timberlake has been at the epicenter of a clothing scandal. In 2004, he infamously tore off Janet Jackson’s blouse and exposed her breast while performing at the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.
Several users on TikTok noted the irony of this new situation, with one writing “Justice for Janet.”
Timberlake is currently on his “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour”. His next appearance is at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on Thursday.
