Homeless man mocked in Justin Timberlake Wedding video wants a face to face meeting with star



A homeless man featured in the now-infamous video commemorating Justin Timberlake's wedding wants to get in sync with the singer during a skid row rendezvous.

The 57-year-old man — who gave only the first name "Eddie" — staged a Christmas Eve press conference in downtown Los Angeles to demand a face-to-face meeting and direct apology from the pop star.

Leftists idiots tend to be like that. And I mean, Timberlake is a leftist idiot.

Justin PR team didn't get this swept under the rug yet?

Ball drop.

Justin normally gets away with everything, so I'm surprised this story has arose again.

Perhaps he will be finally getting his long overdue comeuppance...

First on his honeymoon, now on Christmas. Lurl.

That friend is such an asshole, I'd cut him from my life. Also, if I was Jessica Biel, I'd be so upset this is the only thing people think about when they look back at my wedding.
her_aspirations 26th-Dec-2012 03:46 am (UTC)
Did JT abandon his voice just like Jessica did?
galagooo 26th-Dec-2012 03:46 am (UTC)
Did he have anyone in PR go over his letter before he posted it?

"This was clearly a lapse in judgment which I'm sure no one who is reading this is exempt from. But, I don't believe it was made to be insensitive. More so, I think it was made as a joke on me not having that many friends attending my own wedding(which IS kind of funny if you think about it).....

P.S. You can bet your ass that I'm having my friend do at least 100 hours of community service... Boom."

"a joke on me not having that many friends attending my own wedding(which IS kind of funny if you think about it)....."

I can think of 4 friends you could have invited Justin...

Why are people angry with Justin?

Did he let the tape play at the wedding, or did he shut it off?

OT, but a girl I used to work with just got engaged tonight. She just turned 20. Meanwhile I'm 30 and my boyfriend and I are broke as fuck and we're not even close to being able to get married.

Yay. :/
so_chic_doll 26th-Dec-2012 03:50 am (UTC)
bright side: at least you have a boyfriend :)
deathbytamarind 26th-Dec-2012 03:51 am (UTC)
I do, and he's pretty boss. It just sucks cos lately I see everyone (seemingly) get the jobs I want, getting engaged, etc. I'm feeling left out.

rkt 26th-Dec-2012 03:53 am (UTC)
do you really need cash to get married?
apothecaries 26th-Dec-2012 04:03 am (UTC)
Look on the bright side, maybe the guy shes gotten engaged to is a total twat and it wont last? lol.

I know that if I got engaged/married to the dude I was dating when I was 20 I would be in a whole heap of trouble/bad news lol.

definitely side-eyeing justin as well as the friend in this situation

you have to wonder what justin and his friends find funny otherwise if such a video was even made
the company you keep reflects on you and all that
pastelstar 26th-Dec-2012 03:58 am (UTC)
Ugh, nasty friend he has there.

OT but I need a ffa. I have Doctor Who feels.
so_chic_doll 26th-Dec-2012 03:59 am (UTC)
I need a FFA too. I have Les Mis feels.
celtic_thistle 26th-Dec-2012 04:29 am (UTC)
Pls tell me DW frustrated you as much as it did me.

Well, I'm not the person you're replying to about DW, but I was like, "Nope....no more of Moffat's inability to carry out a long-term thread. I'm done." Officially out until the man leaves. I love Vestra and Jenny, their set up, but they can't be in it all the time - sadly.
hedgerowbustle 26th-Dec-2012 03:59 am (UTC)
As usual I came in here just to say Timberlake is a douche. lol
cutesiness 26th-Dec-2012 04:00 am (UTC)
if jt really feels bad about it, then yeah why shouldnt he look him in the eye and apologize to him personally? nothing but his ego's gonna get hurt oh wait
josh_the_k 26th-Dec-2012 04:01 am (UTC)
I can't stand that he's jumping in that cover photo. I want him to fall flat on his ass and break something.
floetcist 26th-Dec-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
If he fell he would have broken his wife's neck.

apothecaries 26th-Dec-2012 04:01 am (UTC)
tbh I think his friend should be held accountable for this more so than Justin.
usagi_moon 26th-Dec-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
OH please. HOmeless people aren't people, they are just garbage on two legs. *sarcasm*

The thing is, we live in a culture that thinks THIS bullshit is ok.

but wow fail on JT. BIG FAIL.

and yes fuck his asshole friend that seriously THOUGHT this was ok.

That's basically the gist of what people were saying in the comments on some articles. It's like people see them as subhuman.
pennyroyaltea 26th-Dec-2012 04:13 am (UTC)
it's pretty silly to blame JT for this when it was his friend who made the video. you don't know how JT might have reacted to it but of course you all love to assume that he enjoyed it because you have some sort of weird hatred for him.
noon 26th-Dec-2012 04:26 am (UTC)
uhh i'm assuming his friend would know justin's sense of humor if he was going to make a gag gift for him, people don't just pull something like this if they don't know how their friend will react
bluecupxxx 26th-Dec-2012 05:11 am (UTC)
seriously, how hard is this concept? No one I know would ever give this to me, even as a gag. Even my boyfriends jerky friend who might laugh at this knows I'd kick him straight out in the middle of my own wedding.
