Justin Timberlake has finally broken his silence about being photographed holding hands with his "Palmer" costar, Alisha Wainwright, last month.
The "Can't Stop the Feeling" singer took to his personal Instagram to publicly address the cheating rumors.
"I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family, I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love," Timberlake wrote, before admitting point-blank that he messed up.
The 38-year-old admitted, "A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgment -- but let me be clear -- nothing happened between me and my costar."
He then went on to explain that he "drank way too much that night," and, on top of being ashamed of his actions, "I should have known better."

"This is not the example I want to set for my son," Timberlake vowed, before announcing, "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."
He closed his post by praising his upcoming movie and that he is "looking forward to continuing to make this movie and excited for people to see it."
A representative for Wainwright released a public statement shortly after the incident was first reported and claimed, "There is no validity to this speculation," and, "The video may look that way, but literally it was nothing."
"Palmer," starring Wainwright and Timberlake, is set to hit theaters in 2020.
