==Justin Timberlake Controversy == |

In November 2019, rumors erupted that Justin had cheated on his wife after the singer was caught holding hands with his [[Palmer (film)|Palmer]] co-star during a night out in New Orleans. |

The Sun posted a video of the pair showing Wainwright touching Timberlake's leg and then holding hands. An observer reportedly told The Sun, "At one point, he took her hand and placed it on his knee. She then began gently stroking his leg." The observer added, "Then he held both of her hands and was playing with them." The pair was spotted chatting and having drinks in a bar in New Orleans around midnight while taking a break from filming a movie where they play lovers. Afterwards, Justin apologized for his 'lapse in judgement' and said excessive drinking was to blame. <ref name=":0" /> |
