Justin Timberlake may be quiet on social media, but he can’t turn off his phone in the face of public outrage about his prior connection with Britney Spears.

The Cry Me a River singer was spotted by the Daily Mail after he went out to Cabo, Mexico, with his wife and two children, as his past came back to haunt him in the shape of Spears’ recently-released bombshell memoir, The Woman In Me.

Photos showed the ex-NSYNC member glued to his phone while a very irritated Jessica Biel motioned and spoke to him.

According to the publication, Timberlake appeared equally agitated as he glanced through his phone throughout the family vacation.

He eventually put away his phone and sat down with his family, which included wife Jessica Biel and their boys Silus, 8, and Phineas, 2.

The musician wore a baggy blue T-shirt and white sports shorts, concealing his face with sunglasses and a green bucket hat.

Meanwhile, Biel changed out of her tie-dye shirt and high-waisted shorts and into a black and white bikini set.

After being caught boarding his jet for the trip, this was Timberlake’s second public appearance since the Princess of Pop exposed him for forcing her into an abortion while they were dating in the 2000s.

Though Timberlake has remained tight-lipped about the shocking disclosures, he and Biel have limited their Instagram comments due to the outpouring of criticism.
