A new video shows Justin Timberlake letting the groove in during his concert in Nashville last week, as he vibed on stage to his hit song “Mirrors” while strapped into a harness.
But this harness would prove disastrous moments later when, given the nature of the equipment, Timberlake’s nether region was accentuated in a way that left little to the imagination.
The moment inside Bridgestone Arena was caught on camera and later went viral online.

In the video, Timberlake can be seen trying to adjust his shirt to cover his bulge.
The court of public opinion has been unforgiving towards 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 requires this,” one TikTok user commented in a shared video. “Why does he have a harness, anyway?” » asked another.
Others expressed concern about quality control. “The way my jaw dropped. Honey, DID NOBODY TELL HIM during rehearsals? Oof,” one person commented. “His whole team is sabotaging him,” someone wrote.

Many also came to the “Sexy Back” singer’s defense, pointing out how wrong it was to publicly shame the man for his appearance.
“You all are pathetic. The man is wearing several pairs of underwear and the harness was clearly pulling on his right pant leg more than it was supposed to. That’s extra fabric. Get a life! !!” wrote one disgruntled fan. Another comment read: “So apparently it’s okay to shame a man’s body parts in 2024. Women don’t really learn anything it seems.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Timberlake has found himself at the epicenter of a clothing scandal. In 2004, he tore off Janet Jackson’s blouse, exposing her chest, while performing at the halftime show of Super Bowl XXXVIII.
Several TikTok users pointed out the irony of this new situation, with one writing, “Justice for Janet.”
Timberlake is currently on his “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.” His next performance is Thursday at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
