Justin Timberlake Apologizes for Controversial Homeless Wedding Video

Singer posts a heartfelt open letter to his website.

Justin Timberlake has written an open letter and posted it on his website in which he apologizes for the controversial video featuring homeless people congratulating him and Jessica Biel on their nuptials.

In the letter, the newlywed states he "had no knowledge of its existence" and "had absolutely ZERO contribution to it." What's more, he clarifies that, contrary to reports, "it was NOT shown at my wedding."

Timberlake goes on to say, "I am deeply sorry to anyone who was offended by the video. Again, it was something that I was not made aware of. But, I do understand the reaction and, by association, I am holding myself accountable."

Timberlake insists that his friends are "good people" and that the video "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." However, "I think we can all agree that it was distasteful."

Timberlake concludes the letter by writing, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts. It really is a blessing to be able to speak directly to my true fans so that you can know exactly where I stand. P.S. You can bet your ass that I'm having my friend do at least 100 hours of community service... Boom."
