Popular American musician Justin Timberlake has been sued by a documentary maker, John Urbano for breaching terms of agreement for a documentary he made in the year 2012.
John Urbano claims the artiste proposed the collaborative documentary without pre-approval from his label but subsequently did not fulfill his obligations in the joint venture.
Legal documents filed in Los Angeles state that despite Timberlake being initially reduced to “tears” by the documentary, his interest in the project faded and he subsequently “distanced” himself from Urbano.

“Instead of fulfilling his obligations to the joint venture, Mr Timberlake has failed to take any steps to promote, market, and sell the making of the 20/20 Experience,” the documents state.
“Mr Timberlake has increasingly distanced himself from the project and his partner — often using a network of agents, managers, and handlers to interface with Mr Urbano,” the document read.
The lawsuit filed against Justin Timberlake seeks to compensate John Urbano for financial losses he claims were incurred after the agreement was breached.
