AceShowbiz - Justin Timberlake has leapt to Pink's defence after the singer was blasted for taking a beach day with her daughter, Willow, after pulling out of a concert in Australia.
The pop star was criticised after a photograph of her chilling out in Byron Bay was published this past week, ends August 03 after she postponed a Sydney concert due to illness.
Pink responded to the backlash by pointing out that the snap didn't show her doctor's visits or all the "antibiotics, steroids" and other medications she was taking after coming down with a heavy cold.
She also explained she was trying to be a mum too, to "a screaming baby in the middle of the night, every night, while mama gives him warm baths and tells her daughter everything is fine."
She added, "What they don't show you in this picture is me drinking water and lying down while my friends try to entertain my 7 year old who is asking me why these creepy men are surrounding us and pacing back and forth and taking pictures of her every move."
On Friday, Timberlake weighed in with his own take on the drama, insisting Pink deserves a sick day because she's one of the hardest working women he knows.
"As an artist who has had the fortune of sharing the stage twice on tour with this incomparable BAD** (once with 'NSync and once as a solo artist), I'm here to tell you that you won't find a harder working, more authentically talented (woman), and (someone) more thankful for her place on that stage and her fans than this woman," he wrote on social media.
"As a parent on tour as well, and an artist who LOVES their fans just as much and wants to give them an unprecedented experience... AND is currently battling an injury, a sinus infection, and trying to be the DAD I want to be too?? I say HATS OFF to you, my friend. I don't know how Moms/Artists like you exist."
He then turned on the critics and added: "Go make up some fodder about somebody who's half-a**in' it... Wishing you full health and speedy recovery, Pink! Shine on, sis!!!!!"
