“Bringing Micro Back”: Justin Timberlake’s Bulge Wardrobe Malfunction Sparks Ruthless Mockery

ADVERTISEMENT

Justin Timberlake stirred ruthless mockery when his harness outfit drew eyes to what some described as an underwhelming “bulge.” A TikTok video of the singer went viral on  Saturday (December 14). In the clip, which has amassed nearly 7 million views, Justin was performing his 2013 hit Mirrors.

In the video, which was recorded during a concert in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, the Prince of Pop could be seen tugging his shirt to seemingly cover up his groin detail, coincidentally while belting out the lyric “hard to find” as the camera zoomed in. 

Highlights
  • Justin Timberlake's harness outfit mocked for underwhelming bulge.
  • Viral TikTok clip of Timberlake has nearly 7 million views.
  • Timberlake's attempted cover-up coincided with song lyrics.

The clip sparked a wave of cheeky comments, as a TikTok user commented: “Bringing micro back.”

A person wrote: “He doesn’t have a single song that requires this.”

    “Not sure I needed this type of letdown,” a netizen added.

    A separate individual chimed in: “It’s like he felt us staring when you zoomed bc he immediately started grabbing down on his shirt.”

    The SexyBack hitmaker isn’t the only celebrity to experience a career-altering bulge reveal.

    Tenoch Huerta, Ricky Martin, and French Diver Jules Bouyer are among the famous personalities to accidentally expose their pouch contour.

    Justin is currently on his best-selling Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Moreover, the viral clip was recorded at his Nashville concert at the Bridgestone Arena on December 12.

    In October, The Grammy Awards winner postponed tour dates from October 23 to November 2 following a diagnosis of bronchitis and laryngitis, People reported on Monday.

    The artist reportedly canceled his December 2 show in New Orleans due to an ongoing back injury.

    This comes after Justin was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, in June 2024 for driving while intoxicated after running a stop sign and swerving out of his lane. 

    During the arrest, the Friends with Benefits actor reportedly muttered: “This is going to ruin the tour,” to which the officer replied, “What tour?”

    Justin then reportedly replied: “The world tour.”

    This exchange quickly became a viral meme, with many humorously referencing it in various contexts. 

    In September 2024, the 43-year-old music star pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired, resulting in a fine, community service, and a suspension of his New York driver’s license.

    “Bulge is kinda being nice,” a reader commented

    women would be screaming if this was about the size of their breasts or labia - how is this not as offensive? Gees BP - you are really heading towards the bottom of the barrel.....

    Fortunately a lot of people find it just as offensive. I just usually assume people joking about others body parts are around 12 to 13, if they aren't their maturity level is around that age. This looks like something a middle schooler would report on.

    The belts of the harness are between his legs. What you see is hardly his natural bulge or lack there off.

    For anyone upset by this, Janet Jackson would like a word. In Justin's own words, What Goes Around Comes Around so Cry Me a River. He's a turd and deserves the mockery and more..

    This guy intentionally ripped janet jacksons costume, exposing her breast to the entire universe for 5 minutes of fame, then watched her being bullied by everyone, without blinking an eye. He is a disgusting human being and you‘re here defending his … what? „Bulge“? Sexual integrity? He had no respect whatsoever to other peoples sexual integrity right infront of everyone. For Fame!!! And you defend his obviously small d**k…. Fully clothed, nothing happened to him, no one ripped his pants off, noone did to him what he did to others… and still you defend this small dicked bully? Do you relate to him??
