Justin Timberlake 'Hypocritically' Wears All-Black To Golden Globes After Working with Woody Allen: Twitter

Justin Timberlake is a hypocrite: that was the general consensus among some Twitter users after the "Filthy" singer announced he and wife Jessica Biel were wearing all-black to the 2018 Golden Globes on Sunday. The move was a statement, not a fashion choice, to unite women against sexual harassment and inequality in the workplace.

"Here we come!! And DAMN, my wife is hot!" Timberlake wrote on Instagram Sunday. The post was liked more than 1 million times by his 47.8 million followers.

Is it hypocritical that, for example, Justin Timberlake is head to toe in black but was in the last Woody Allen movie?

Timberlake, however, worked with Woody Allen on the film Wonder Wheel. And the director famously was accused of abusing Mia Farrow's daughter, Dylan, when she was 7 years old. For decades, Allen denied the allegations.

Some Twitter users claimed Timberlake essentially sided with an alleged abuser by working with Allen, not speaking out against him.

The fact that Justin Timberlake (who recently worked with Woody Allen) is talking about #TIMESUP and wearing a black tux annoys the hell out of me because I feel like some people (especially males) are doing this not to look sus. They don’t really care. #GoldenGlobes

Wonder Wheel is set in the 1950s around Brooklyn's Coney Island neighborhood. Kate Winslet plays Ginny, the wife of a Coney Island carousel operator (James Belushi). She falls in love with Timberlake's character, an attractive lifeguard named Mickey. The twist comes into play when the estranged daughter of Ginny's husband, played by Juno Temple, also falls for Mickey.

Here we come!! And DAMN, my wife is hot! #TIMESUP #whywewearblack
iâ€™m sorry but actors and actresses who have worked or praised abusers like woody allen eg. justin timberlake, timothy chalamet and armie hammer have NO right to wear the #TimesUp pin or wear black tonight. weâ€™ve heard their voices, they sided with the abuser. #GoldenGlobes

"There was not one single moment that I was not utterly terrified," Winslet told Entertainment Weekly in August about shooting the movie. "It's an incredibly complicated character — maybe the most complicated female character I've ever had the challenge of grappling with."

Justin Timberlake in the very same interview fawned about what a pleasure Woody Allen was to work with and then acted all sad about Weinstein.

We don't give a fuck if you wear black when you accumulate wealth and power for a child abusing rapist. Fuck you Justin. https://t.co/vIOpJy0KoW

Winslet enjoyed working with Timberlake. "He's such a wonderful person," she told EW. "I would turn to him and say, 'Do you know what, Justin Timberlake? The best thing about you being in this film is that you're really not "Justin Timberlake." If you had really been "Justin Timberlake" it could have been a complete nightmare, but really you're not "Justin Timberlake" at all, you're just some guy named Justin.' He's totally unvain, he has an absolutely infuriating ability to learn lines fast, and he's an all around great person — humble, fun, hard-working, easygoing, no ego. Such a joy, really.

Neither Timberlake nor Winslet responded to the allegations against Allen.
