When did you realize that Jessica Biel is weird? She was well into her 30s before I realized that Biel is a whackjob. When she married Justin Timberlake, I think most of us felt bad for her because Justin is no prize and he makes everything (even their wedding and Jessica’s first pregnancy) all about Justin. Then the weirdness started creeping in – Jessica is a full-fledged anti-vaxxer who lobbies on behalf of anti-vaccine legislation. She and Justin moved out of LA and NYC to live full-time in Montana. Jessica kept launching weird side hustles which went nowhere (Au Fudge, anyone?). Well, now Jessica is trying to convince people to… eat in the damn shower. This is just… unhygienic.
Jessica Biel is ready to start a movement — a shower-eating movement. The actress, 41, shared a hilarious video on TikTok this week detailing how — and why — she eats in the shower. Fans asked her to elaborate after she professed her love for the concept in another video in late December.
“Guys, thanks for all these questions about shower eating. I’m just so thrilled everyone is so interested. I really want to start a movement, a shower-eating movement,” Biel said. “I think, for people who are multitasking, it’s just going to be a relief in so many ways.”
She continued by listing her “rules,” which included having a ledge or something where “you can stick your cup.”
“I like to take a bite or a sip and put it on the ledge, and then you do your thing. You wash your hair — keep the soap out — that’s a big deal. It’s pretty simple, guys. You can do this. I find it deeply satisfying. The only tricky thing is that when you’re chewing, you got to keep your mouth closed because I still like to get under the water while I’m chewing, and for whatever reason, I want to open my mouth at the same time and spit water,” Biel said.
The 7th Heaven alum joked that she has the urge to spit water because she gets “spit in the face with water all the time by my kids” and ended the video by summarizing her “pro tips.”
“Chew, do not open the mouth [and] do not let the shower water in. There you go, enjoy your shower-consuming,” Biel said.
It’s not the first time Biel has opened about eating in the shower. In late 2020, she shared a since-deleted picture on Instagram of an empty plate, fork, and cup of joe sitting on the ledge of her shower. Biel said she was enjoying chicken, apple sausage, and an espresso, captioning the photo, “Yes. I eat in the shower. I admit it.”
Again, this is in the shower. Not the bath. I can see having a glass of wine and maybe something small, like a small bowl of cashews, in the bath. For years, I used to brush my teeth in the shower, but otherwise… yeah, you should just concentrate on washing yourself and not eating wings or whatever. Find a better way to manage your time so you can enjoy your food and then enjoy your shower separately. This is so gross.

Wouldn’t your food get damp? Wouldn’t the extra time taken just be a waste of water?
I have friends that say they’ll drink a white claw or a beer in the shower and I’m like wtf? But eating, that’s even worse.
The logistics of it don’t make any sense to me, but she doesn’t make sense in much of what she says anyway 🤷♀️
So jessica is out promoting Justin’s new music… She should do Au Fudge 2.0 with family shower stalls and waiters turning the tap to maximum flow while putting their dinners on a ledge. Jessica is freackin bonkers. This is everything that I don’t want in life: wanting to do it all in the shortest period of time, multitasking so much that you need to learn to enjoy to have a meal in the shower? Um, no thanks, dont pro tip me that. Jessica does what she wants, I just prefer my bossa nova music while cooking and having dinner, eating on a beautiful table scape, with nice plates, nice glasses and taking my time to discuss things of the day, laugh and share a moment with my life partner and my kids. Multitasking is so 2010. We’re past that era.
I agree, she’s not weird, she’s just dumb. There’s nothing time-saving about this, nothing that is truly multi-tasking. I mean, she needs to remind herself to eat with her mouth closed, really?
I’m picturing a damp, half-eaten salami sandwich in a soap dish.
lol ketchup served in shampoo pump bottles
Are her showers taking hours (with 2 small kids in the house) that she can’t eat first or after her shower? This seems like such a nonsensical thing to do. Make it make sense.
Exactly. It would make sense to have your shower and eating later….
Clearly, conserving water is not on her priority list.
Is this a joke? or serious?
Why the hell would anyone ever do this? Does she eat while pooping too?
This seems like an epic troll. I just can’t imagine that it’s real.
I think she’s joking. Like, maybe she did it once and thought it was fun. I don’t know.
always hard to tell with her. everything she does lately screams person who isn’t very bright but is extremely privileged. but joke is on her – she’s stuck with the man she thought was such a prize and turned out to be such a bucket of slop
NGL I have been known to take a (plastic) glass of Chardonnay into the bathroom next to the bathtub on those Friday night soaks, which is bliss and I’m not sorry for it. That scene of Sandra Bullock doing the same in “The Lost City” had me all same gurl, same.
But food?? How does that even work…
I had a Pilates instructor who said she would spend hours in the bath, watching TV and eating dinner and drinking wine. That is not relatable to me but it seems more understandable than eating in the shower.
I vaguely recall that the mother of the male half of the Shields & Yarnell mime duo, per his retelling of it, would serve him his evening dinner in the tub because it made it easier & faster for her. That’s what he said, anyway.
I’m just perplexed, grossed out, and reminded once again about how much of “health and wellness” content is just disordered eating and disordered anxious behavior.
100%
Count me gross. I eat in the bath and shower. Mostly charcuterie type things.
Now I could see a Charcuterie board with a nice glass of wine while relaxing in a garden or spa tub 🛁.. it’s a great escape especially when you bring a book to fall in to. Eating in a shower just sounds weird.
There’s no eating in the bathroom. None. No food should enter into the bathroom. Just ew.
I totally agree. I won’t even bring my closed water bottle in with me at work, I leave it on a ledge outside the bathroom (I walk past the bathroom to get to the kitchen/water). I don’t even chew gum in there. That is where you leave your bodily fluids and dirt and I like to keep that pretty separate from eating. Yuck
I’m with you, but to each her own. I never bring food into the bathroom or the bedroom. I will drink coffee or tea in bed but no food. Crumbs and even smears attract bugs; end of story.
Exactly. Food in the bathroom. Where the toilet is. And in the shower. Millimeters next to where you scrub off dirt. Gross.
Wtf? She and her husband are a gross mess.
Yes, yes and yes!!
So many questions!
Doesn’t she have live in help?
What is she so busy with?
What the hell does Justin do if she’s so busy that she has to eat in the shower?!
How big is her shower that water does not get into everything?
How long are her showers that she needs food/water during to make it through them?
Attention seeking, that’s all this is
I fail to see how this is possible, let alone desirable.
Now a glass of wine during a soak in the bath, back in my wine drinking days, I sometimes did, but no eating in the bathroom. And that was a bath, not a shower so no water falling into my face while I was doing it and I’d be relaxing with a book with a candle on the edge of the tub and some nice bath salts or bubble bath.
Think of the benefits (in her mind): no one can see or hear you cry over the poor interpersonal choices that you made. Also a good cover for an ED.
Why doesn’t she eat with her husband? Or her kids? Or her cat or dog or cows or whatever? Or just in bed with her bedroom door locked if she wants to be alone. Lots of options that don’t include the shower.
I’m sorry, her children are spitting water out of their mouths into the face… of their mother? Often?!!! wtf and also, big no to eating in the shower. This is so bizarre.
I knew she was crazy when not only did she marry Justin Timberlake she let him jump on her head for her wedding pictures on the cover of people magazine. Any woman willing to put up with that is not all the way there. The end
I am all for a shower beer once in a while. My shower has a nice window ledge that the water doesn’t hit, and I can place it there and have a nice long leisurely hot shower. The beer is a little indulgent reward for whatever lie I tell myself I deserve it.
But eating in the shower is just gross. I doubt she even does it, and just tried to come up with someone quirky so she could get an interview published. Who is looking for a Jessica Biel article these days?
I came here to stand up for the shower beer! I can’t even imagine the logistics of eating with wet hands, but a shower beer every now and then is a right treat.
a glass of wine and a book in the bathtub… of course. especially with bubbles.
It’s not relaxing for me to eat standing up, like a horse. And I don’t have a giant shower where I could keep the soap out of my food and the food out of my soap, not to mention the food going down the drain. But I look forward to the reviews by her many lemmings who will try this.
“It’s not relaxing for me to eat standing up, like a horse.”
This has made me absolutely hysterical with laughter, so thank you @Eurydice, lol, very well said.
Ha! I actually had to do that when I worked in Georgia! When doing fieldwork (archaeology) in the woods there’s no place to sit down that won’t make it easy for the ticks, chiggers, and fire ants, so I’d just stand there, like a horse, leaning against a tree eating my lunch as quickly as possibly & then just get back at it.
How very Joey Tribbiani of her.
This is beyond disgusting. Water droplets containing everything that you are washing off your body is bouncing off you and the shower walls. It will get into the food and drink you brought into the shower to forget about the fact you married a terribly unattractive and untalented lying, cheating man-boy.
And wasn’t this a Seinfeld episode? Let’s all try not to imitate Kramer in real life.
Was coming here to mention the Seinfeld episode… I am picturing her preparing a salad 😆
Twenty bucks says she’ll start advocating pooping in the shower as well.
Or eating on the toilet… 🙂
She’s so boring. Yawn!
I guess she’s giving us something to talk about, otherwise, not too sure she has too much going on. Yawn!!
Eating and drinking in the shower is totally a thing and she is not even the first celebrity to discuss this and social media seems to corroborate that many people, even if not a majority do this.
I can’t stand Jessica Biel for many reasons, but this isn’t one of them.
Environment crisis no one ?
This is such an awful thing to do.
I have never been able to stand her. I also hate all these mega wealthy people moving to Montana jacking up the prices. The rich ruin everything.
A beer shower can be great, especially after hard work (drinking a crisp, cold drink under the spray of a hot shower is part relaxing, part invigorating), but eating food while standing up and cleaning yourself? That just sounds overly difficult and messy.
I guess when you’re married to Justin Timberlake you have to take your satisfaction wherever you can find it.
Cry for help?!?
Someone’s been watching too much “Seinfeld.”
Eating in the bath I can see, but eating in the shower is puzzling. I’ll drink wine and occasionally have dry finger foods like nuts or crackers if I’m planning an extended indulgent soak with a trashy novel. (I clean the tub before every bath.) My face is dry during a bath and there aren’t droplets of water and soap flying everywhere.
She can afford help. There’s no apparent reason for her to be so time-strapped that she needs to eat in the shower. This is either cover for an eating disorder or trolling for attention. Or maybe she has OCD and showers several times per day?
If I’m showering late in the afternoon after a good sweaty workout I’ll bring a glass of wine into the bathroom, put in on the counter next to the sink, finish my shower and sip wine whilst I towel off and moisturize. In the shower??? With food??? Big nope.
I’ve always disliked her. Especially since finding out she is not a girls girl, and had no problems being with JT behind Cameron Diaz’s back. Like our fav princess, Jessica knew what she was getting, and quite frankly I for one, believe she got was she deserved.
She must be stupid
I hate to sound shallow, but I’ve always thought both JT and Jessica were extremely beautiful people – until their marriage. It’s beyond normal aging. I’ve been struck by how much their good looks got dialed back year, by year, by year.
It’s not very hygienic. There are A LOT of germs in the bathroom. For me a meal is something to be savored at leisure. I can see having a glass of wine etc while in the bath but food in the shower? How is that even a thing🙈🙃
Plumbers of America, Hail your Queen!
Can you imagine the crud in the drains in her shower?
Who takes food into the shower?
This is how it works…
#1. Stick frozen pizza in the oven. Start a fresh pot of coffee.
#2. Take a shower under 15 minutes.
#3. Outta the shower, have coffee, wait for the pizza to be cooked.
No living human with a job or a kid has time to faff around like this Mrs. Timberlake.
Her and Justin can both go pound sand.
Career-wise, JT is a has been. She is a never was.
And JT totally threw Britney and Janet under the bus.
Years ago I was reading through old Life magazines in the library (enjoying the air-conditioning during a long, hot summer) & I read an article on Barbra Streisand. This would be when she was just gaining fame for Funny Girl. She lived in an apartment in an old tenement building & didn’t have a kitchen sink, so she washed her dishes in the bathtub. Think about that for a second. Ick.
She’s not a regular Mom, she’s an eating apple sausages in the shower Mom.
Considering that I always think she looks like she smells bad, I’m pleasantly surprised she showers… The rest is just dumb and disgusting.
