*Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel may have wed in a lavish, upscale ceremony in Italy, but a video reportedly shown during the affair is getting slammed online for being in poor taste, reports the New York Daily News.
The video, obtained by Gawker, features people believed to be homeless, street musicians and transvestites giving the multimillionaire couple blessings and well-wishes.
“Greetings from your Hollywood friends who just couldn’t make it,” the clip begins.
“Jessica and Justin, I haven’t seen y’all in a long time,” says the above man with missing teeth, adding, “My gift is in the mail.”
A man off-camera, reportedly the film’s producer, also asks a man dressed in woman’s clothing if he has anything he wants to tell the couple.
“Good luck and watch your man,” the transvestite [pictured below] says with a laugh.
The full video is reportedly more than 8 minutes, but Gawker posted the below 20-second clip on its website.
The video’s producer was identified as Timberlake’s friend, Justin Huchel, a Los Angeles real estate agent. His attorney told Gawker to take down the video or face a lawsuit. A letter posted by the website from attorney Michael Saltz says the video was copyrighted and stolen from Huchel.
“Specifically, Mr. Huchel made a video to be used and exhibited privately at Justin Timberlake’s wedding as a private joke without Mr. Timberlake’s knowledge,” Saltz wrote.
Despite Huchel’s attorney trying to distance the former boy band singer from the video, the decision to mock the homeless at an elite event said to cost in the millions of dollars isn’t sitting well with some.
“It’s official I am no longer a @jtimberlake fan!! Unfollowing you right now! Mocking the homeless is wrong!” Twitter user @StephBreezy678 wrote.
Others tweeted the video is “tacky” and “disgusting.”
What did anyone expect???? Justin is a jerk!! he threw Janet under the bus after the Super Bowl nip slip fiasco, why make fun of people wo are down on their luck anyway???? at your ULTRA EXPENSIVE NUPITALS!!!!!!
I did not see the entire tape but it looks like mostly blacks are the ones being used as fodder for the tasteless video
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case. What azzholes they are to make something like this a part of their wedding. Let’s see how long this shyt lasts.
babycakes > > > I’ve never understood why blacks continued to support his music after the incident with Janet, and now after this he’s still the same jerk.
Not sure if any of you remember his old black road manager said JT was a straight up racist. This apparently has been swept under the rug. But from the looks of the stills it seems to be true, because there are white homeless and trailer park trash to use as well. I didnt watch the video but if im wrong sue me!
Only 4 people commenting?
can’t find the video!! . . .because you KNOW I don’t mind commenting.
Now I’m really glad Prince made that snide remark to his guitarist Mike Scott at his Chicago show on this last night on the 26th. Prince was introducing each band member and who they have played for and when he got to Mike Scott he said and this guy played for Justin Timberlake and Prince said “sorry brother” as if to say sorry you played for a fake ass wanna be me mutha and that’s just was Justin tried to do on the Futuresex CD and it didn’t help things when Justin did the short man at the mike joke at the Golden Globes that year when Prince won in the category and he hadn’t arrived yet( I always thought P was late on purpose because he did NOT want be up on the same stage with JT), JT was pissed when Prince was asked about what he thought about the song Sexback, Prince replied “sexy never left” (P just told the truth) and JT replies with that song Give it to me. Lastly, I don’t Prince has much respect for JT either after Janet and the superbowl incident. You could see at the Grammys that year right after it happened when P was sitting front row.
You can see that JT has African American blood in him (his hair is nappier than mine when he’s not wearing it low cut) – wouldn’t be surprised if he and his wife end up with a baby looking like Halle’s daughter or looking more Black than Nick’s kids.
