Cameron Diaz Made A Fortune From Unproven Allegations And Scandals While Dating Justin Timberlake

During Cameron Diaz's forgotten relationship with Justin Timberlake, she cashed in on a pair of scandals that she was the victim of.

In 2019, Justin Timberlake was in New Orleans where he was filming a solid but mostly forgotten film called Palmer. That film co-starred a talented actor named Alisha Wainwright who Timberlake appeared to get along with too well.

During the filming process, the paparazzi captured photos of Timberlake and Wainwright out together. While people often socialize with their co-workers, Timberlake and Wainwright's interactions looked too intimate for a married man.

In a series of photos of the pair that were captured, one of them showed Timberlake and Wainwright holding hands. In another, it could be seen that Wainwright had her hand on Timberlake's knee. In all of the images, it looked like Wainwright and Timberlake were very comfortable together.

In response to the images of Timberlake and Wainwright, many observers jumped to the conclusion that he was cheating on Biel. When Wainwright later praised Timberlake publicly, that was seen as more evidence of potential cheating.

In February 2021, Entertainment Tonight interviewed Alisha Wainwright about the movie Palmer. During that discussion, Wainwright gushed about how great Timberlake was in the movie after remarking on how famous he was. “This guy is a megastar, and he’s one of the most recognizable faces... I thought he was incredible in this movie.”

However, despite the gossip and rumors, it is important to note that nobody involved confirmed cheating happened. Quite the opposite actually as Timberlake vehemently denied being unfaithful to Biel.

Justin was trying to prove a point at an Oscars after-party, as he couldn't keep his hands off his wife despite rumors of relationship issues.

After Timberlake and Wainwright's PDA scandal garnered headlines, he released a statement about the photos of his night out with his co-star. As a part of the statement he posted on Instagram, Timberlake stated that he didn't cheat with Wainwright.

“A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgement – but let me be clear – nothing happened between me and my costar.”

Even though Timberlake denied cheating on Biel, that didn't mean that he defended how close he seemed to Wainwright. Instead, Timberlake blamed his actions on drinking too much and pledged to focus more on being a good husband and father.

“I drank way too much that night and regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son. I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”

Despite Timberlake denying cheating and his pledge to do better, the incident definitely hasn't been forgotten. Instead, the incident left a lasting mark on the perception of his marriage.

"There were a couple of times during our relationship when I knew Justin had cheated on me. Especially because I was so infatuated and so in love, I let it go, even though the tabloids seemed determined to rub my face in it."

Elsewhere in her book, Spears claimed that Timberlake once bragged to one of her backup dancers about cheating on her. Spears also wrote that there were lots of rumors about Timberlake's infidelity during their relationship.

"There were rumors about him with various dancers and groupies. I let it all go, but clearly, he'd slept around. It was one of those things where you know but you just don't say anything."
