Jessica Biel's little brother is slamming Justin Timberlake's 901 Tequila company, claiming the brand is a massive failure and Timberlake is to blame.
Justin Biel, who TMZ is told worked for the 901 brand until a few weeks ago, just posted a couple of videos to his Facebook page in which he claims Timberlake sabotaged the company by refusing to promote his own liquor.
Biel rants: "I've been waiting for [Timberlake] to do something with this f**king brand -- make a song about it, put it in a god damn video, hold it up, take some pictures, I don't care -- just do something because we're dying on the motherf**king vine here!"

Biel, seemingly bitter with the brand, sarcastically launches into a series of new "angles" he thinks could help sales ... claiming among other things:
-- "901 Tequila ... mixes well with a bump of cocaine"
-- "901 Tequila ... Steve Jobs used to drink it ... oh man that's too soon."
-- "901 Tequila ... I only s**t my pants once on it."
-- "901 Tequila ... so god damn exclusive our own CEO doesn't even drink it."
Biel continues: "Sales dropped drastically from last year ... way to go sales team! Our distribution partners still couldn't give two f**ks about the brand, repping Patron all the way, and giving us the ol' fist up the ass."

A rep for 901 tells TMZ "Justin Biel’s video was intended to be one in a series of videos created by 901 Tequila employees (including the brand owner) as part of a larger viral marketing campaign slated for the end of December. It was released prematurely without our knowledge and prior to the final edit.”
