It sure sounds like Justin Timberlake is still in the doghouse… and he may be there for a while!
The Memphis area native is still reeling a little bit after his hand-holding controversy with Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright. Now, based on what insiders are saying, things aren’t quite as rosy at home with Jessica Biel as the former Mickey Mouse Club star was probably hoping for at this point. Uh-oh!

According to a source who spoke about the matter with Us Weekly on Thursday night, the Man of the Woods performer isn’t going to be let off the hook so easy with this one! The insider dished (below):
“Justin and Jessica are focused on mending any issues in their relationship right now, but Jessica is still in a place where she’s very hurt and upset with Justin. She hasn’t fully forgiven him and isn’t letting him off easy.”
Nor should she!
The insider continued on, noting the 38-year-old singer understands “there is work required … to get back to a good place as a couple” after his Bourbon Street dalliance back in November. Even if it was just hand-holding, and truly nothing worse than that, Biel’s trust was still betrayed, and the Seventh Heaven alum isn’t yet ready to just give it all back. Understandable, right?
Where does Justin go from here?
Building back trust takes time, and so the Sexy Back star will have to be patient — and diligent — in doing whatever is best for his family. As we reported at the time, Timberlake did release a long public apology for his actions, taking responsibility for his “lapse in judgment” and promising to be a better husband and father because of it. That’s good talk, but ultimately only talk, and we’ll see in time if that actually comes to fruition.
For her part, Biel has maintained her privacy with a few notable exceptions. It’s clear she’s focused on the couple’s four-year-old son, Silas, and returning to a low-key lifestyle without all the headlines. As for Timberlake, he recently wrapped filming on Palmer, and appears ready to put this whole thing behind him. You know, until it comes time to go out and promote the movie with Wainwright and his other co-stars. Awkward!
What do U think, Perezcious readers? Will these two be able to work things out behind the scenes?! The spotlight can be a pretty tough place to keep a relationship healthy, but can JT and Jessica manage like they have for so long??
