Justin Timberlake is hot on the promotional trail for new movie ‘Palmer,’ which premiered today on Apple TV+.
In the film, the GRAMMY winner plays an ex-convict who establishes an unlikely friendship with a young boy who is bullied for playing with dolls and dressing up like a princess.
During an interview with GLAAD, JT seized the moment to express how the movie’s narrative reminded him of how proud he is to stand in unison with marginalized voices.
Full story below…
Speaking on the LGBTQ community, Timberlake said:
“I very much enjoy being an ally, and it’s a true honor anytime someone addresses me that way.”
He went on to draw comparisons to his own marginalization in early life being bullied for “being a young boy who was into the arts.”
Earlier in the week, he said of ‘Palmer’:
“This is a story about accepting people for who they are, and who they want to be… no contingencies, no questions asked. As a dad, this story hits home. And I’m honored to be part of this film.”
Peep the full interview:

Yasssss we love him!
Speak for yourself. Only black c00ns claim this culture viulture.
@Gworl Bye he is not a culture viulture at all, you just love throwing words around, so his music is what black artist release. Get a life, you need one. You don’t speak for everyone.
Yasssssss my hero! He love errbody chile! Even trashy ashy bish and it’s lesbian ass 🌈💯🤣🤳🏽
Oh STFU!!!! Sick of this culture vulture!
You just hating on white people for no reason . 💅🏿💅🏿Changed your white name first! Karen 🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
Racist trashy bish
Who said that
LOL poor thing. Black folks threw his ass away, now he wants to jump on the LGBTQ bandwagon for clout. Culture vultures literally have no shame lol.
Everyone is a “culture vulture” (although it’s not even a real thing) because culture is forever changing and evolving. Are you a culture vulture if you eat Chinese take-out? No. It was brought over to the West and has become part of Western culture, just like everything else.
Silly boy needs to apologise to Britney and Janet before he thinks he’s an ally
Thats cause he’s gay too. He needs to repent along with the rest of the LBGTQ community. Yah bless
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN AN LGBTQA ALLY.
He may be aware of having a gay fanbase or never publicly disparaged gay folk but he never lent himself to any meaningful ally-ship throughout his solo career or w/ Nsync.
This is actually true.
@MessyBottom you are obviously some bitter old queen attacking artist when you stay for a person who killed a mother and got away with it because of her black privilege.
Oh shïtttttt… who was that?
Black privilege IS a real thing. Let’s be real, it’s all around 💯

LMAO he’s totally bi. I remember his thirst tweet over Jesse Williams. And how it came out that he has two gay nannies at the house for his baby. He has never ever been a meaningful ally and yes, once again, is a culture vulture for clout (even tho sis technically is LGBT imho).
I must’ve missed something – Since when has Justin Timberlake been an ally to the gay community?
B****! Says Who?
So NOW he’s an ally and speaks out because he has a movie coming out that centers around it? Oh ok…
The man said he can relate he was beat up for. Being in the arts he is Justin Timberlake
