The Internet Defends Justin Timberlake ‘Screaming’ At His Crew Over ‘Embarrassing’ Stage Issues: ‘I Don’t Blame Him’

Mixed Internet Reactions

As expected, his behavior didn't go down well with many people on social media. "People still go to watch Justin Timberlake? Weird," slammed one person on a TikTok video of the incident.

"Losing it with your support crew is considered highly unprofessional in the world of stage performance," noted a second, as a third said: "Look I get it's frustrating and all that but why is he so angry? It's being fixed as they speak to him, no reason to be kicking off, as the damage is done." "Glad I didn't waste my money," wrote a fourth.

"HOW EMBARRASSING!" exclaimed a fifth fan, this time on X, adding: "Justin Timberlake's audio CUTS OFF right as he performs his Britney Spears hate anthem "Cry Me A River." I'm not saying he deserved it, but God's timing is always right. Cry ME a river Justin."

"Godney's power! Divine intervention," replied a sixth, as a seventh added: "You're a bully Justin, your head is too big! Stop yelling at the staff!"

But many others came to his defense, with one person saying: "I don't blame him for being a bit peeved he's trying to entertain his fans that paid money to see him." "He was an absolute star, brilliant and so professional, I have fallen in love at the ripe old age of 50," praised a second, followed by two crying laughing and four red heart emojis.

The nice comments continued over on Instagram, where a third said: "Okay and? He's entitled to be [expletive.] It's unprofessional. Like what?" "Very understandable and I guarantee you he wasn't the only one mad. It's frustrating when stuff doesn't work," concurred a fourth.

"He may be screaming because it's loud and he's trying to be heard. There is always two sides of a story," added a fifth, in his defense, as a sixth echoed: "He's not screaming, he's telling them what he'd like to be done to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible because he likes to sing live."
