Justin Timberlake Refused to Appear on Joey Fatone’s Boy Band Doc, Won’t ‘Hand Over His Story’
Justin Timberlake declined multiple interview requests from Joey Fatone for Boy Band Confidential, citing image control and a low profile following his 2024 DWI arrest.
Pop star Justin Timberlake appears in archival footage in former NSYNC bandmate Joey Fatone’s documentary, Boy Band Confidential, but sources say the “SexyBack” singer refused to sit for a new interview for the Investigation Discovery series.
“Joey asked — again and again,” one source told Straight Shuter. “Calls, texts, personal outreach. He really wanted Justin on camera for this. Justin said no every time.”
There isn’t any bad blood, shares the insider who explains, “Justin doesn’t participate in projects he can’t shape. This is Joey’s narrative — and Justin doesn’t hand over his story.”
Sources say Timberlake has spent years carefully curating his image and isn’t eager to revisit his boy band era on someone else’s terms — especially with the documentary exploring the darker side of the industry, including NSYNC’s late former manager, Lou Pearlman, who was convicted of financial crimes.
Some insiders have denied the chatter, but another — citing Timberlake’s 2024 bust and guilty plea to driving while ability impaired — says, “Right now, Justin is keeping a very low profile after his arrest.”
