When Was Justin Timberlake Arrested for a DWI?
Justin Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) a little after midnight on June 18, 2024, in Sag Harbor, New York. The arrest report stated he claimed to have had one martini, which the bartender at the hotel he visited confirmed following the singer’s arrest.
However, Timberlake refused to take a breathalyzer, and the arresting officer stated his “eyes were bloodshot and glassy” and “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath.
He was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.”
The award-winning singer was charged with one count of DWI, as well as being issued two citations for failing to keep in lane and running a stop sign. He will return to court on July 26, 2024.
Is Justin Timberlake Likely to Enter Rehab?
It is natural to speculate if Justin Timberlake will enter rehab following his recent DWI arrest, as it is common for many famous figures to do so after experiencing similar predicaments.
At present, the former NSYNC member has no plans to enter rehab, as he is seemingly focusing on his world tour.
Also, the 43-year-old singer maintains his innocence, and his lawyers are reportedly attempting to obtain the arresting officer’s bodycam footage.
However, rumors have started to swirl that Timberlake might have a problem with drugs and alcohol.
A music industry insider stated his alcoholism became public knowledge two years ago, saying, “He has a real drinking problem. A lot of weed, but a major alcohol problem, which he has been hiding and masking for years.”
According to reports, Justin Timberlake has been in a dark place since the release of a 2021 documentary about Britney Spears.
The New York Times claimed the “Can’t Stop the Feeling” singer has struggled after receiving backlash for his reported mistreatment of Spears.
Also, he allegedly is struggling to handle the backlash following his arrest. As he is surrounded by a team that will only tell him what he wants to hear, he isn’t used to being held accountable for his actions.
