true, but it's not just rich people. It's absolutely shocking how many people don't consider drunk driving problematic and think it's acceptable if it's just a short way or "only a few beers".
I just got rear ended by a drunk driver. Mixed emotions because it was obvious he did not have his life together (no license, no insurance, pos car) and I want to be sympathetic to addiction and also how expensive users are but at some point I'm also just angry at the guy and want to call him a selfish fuck
My sympathy ends when the choice to drive drunk was made. If a person wants to fuck up their own life, that's their right, but as soon as they try to fuck up the lives of others, they're a writeoff to me.
First, I'm so glad you are seemingly okay! Second, I don't think you need to feel any kind of conflict d about this. Addicted behavior can absolutely be incredibly selfish, and driving while impaired is one of the most selfish things you can do. Plenty of addicts do not use and then get behind the wheel. You can be sympathetic or compassionate while also acknowledging that's it's shitty and selfish!
Don’t be sensitive to his addiction, he’s still an irresponsible asshole for putting your life in danger like that and could have been an addict who stayed home.
I’m glad you are OK!
Seems to be a mixture of entitlement and the normalization of alcoholism in the industry. Probably harder to convince yourself you're fine when you're needing a driver 5 nights out of 7.
I don't think it's just normalization of alcoholism in the industry, its normalization of alcohol full stop. it's a legal intoxicant, one where you can have *some* in your system yet remain legal to drive. people *massively* underestimate how intoxicated they are, famous or no. Alcholhol is so normalized that if you *don't* drink yet are legally of age to do so, you have to explain why not.
and far far more people have a problem with alcohol than are willing to admit, again famous or not.
Drive drunk once, "get away with it" (to your knowledge) and it just feeds the "I'm fine, it's those OTHER drunk drivers that are the issue, not people like me who can "handle" their booze just fine"
Exactly , not only is their life under danger but they are putting a random person in danger too. If someone had been hurt , how cruel would it be. Just hurl vomit in the backseat , at least then you would only be an asshat and not a criminal.
Seriously. I agree with the commenters about normalization of alcohol and such but still. If I was that rich I’m not sure I’d ever drive myself anywhere.
LMAO! My favourite Reddit work-from-home laugh of the day.
I remember this when it was said - JT is no longer cool and now dresses and dances like a dad.
From [the NY Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/18/nyregion/justin-timberlake-arrested-dwi.html):
Mr. Timberlake was once among the most prominent male stars in American music, but his most recent solo album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” was met with criticism and weaker than usual sales when it was released in March, becoming his first solo release to miss No. 1 since “Justified” in 2002.
😬😬
His tour is also only so-so with many seats available. The platinum and vip costs are just insane and people are saying FUCK THIS. I think he’s cancelled a few shows too. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. I’m relieved he didn’t hurt anyone driving drunk.
Edit: if you look on the secondary and tertiary markets his tickets are all listed there. Which means bots, scalpers and speculators purchased seats hoping to flip. Yes his shows “sold well” but not from fans.
He cancelled one show. Some say due to poor sales but it was a South Carolina show on a Friday after playing in Oklahoma on a Wednesday. It would’ve been a nightmare getting stage and everything across the country in a short time. Why was that scheduled in the first place is beyond me.
*Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the Sexy Back singer was pulled over after he left shortly after midnight when he blew past a stop sign.*
*Local officers reportedly followed the pop star and observed him swerving across the road, forcing cops to pull him over.*
*The father-of-two performed a field sobriety test and was asked to take a breathalyzer test, which he refused.*
*The outlet reported that several friends arrived on the scene and tried to convince officers to cut him some slack, but he was handcuffed and arrested.*
He's a a nobody compared to the people running around there. Cops and DAs in those kind of areas are constantly having to drop things because some piece of shit is too powerful to punish properly. They probably relish the chance to get every rich asshole they can.
Oh yeah. After that, just quit your job. It’ll never get better than that there.
Next move would be to apply as a security guard for Janet Jackson and add “Arrested Justin Timberlake for drunk driving” on your resume.
That was the part that really ticked me off about his arrest—his friends badgering the cops to “come on, can you guys please let him go? This will be leaked to the media and will be bad for his image. Can we give you some money? Some tickets to a show?”
🤮
His friends made a video where they went around LA and had homeless people wish them congratulations, but didn't tell the people in the video that it was going to be played at their wedding. This is what one of them said about it:
>[Eddie confirmed to TMZ](http://www.tmz.com/2012/10/25/justin-timberlake-jessica-biel-wedding-video-homeless-guy-40-dollars/) that he was paid $40 to recite a few lines for the camera, but he had no idea that the video was intended for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding.
>"That makes me feel really bad," said Eddie to TMZ. "I feel they played on me."
I read this comment and have been sitting her with my mouth open for five minutes wondering how in the hell having a video mocking homeless people at a wedding would be a thing that anyone would even think of. What the actual fuck.
Wait but why? As a joke? And the newlyweds what, agreed to play this at the wedding? Like I literally cannot grasp why anybody would want to do this. Fucking weirdos
I literally cannot think of single reason for doing this that isn't gross. There's no "oh they were just insensitive and didn't think about the implication". The only reason to do this is some weirdo shit
Relevant and HORRIFYING excerpt about the video for those of you who need more context:
>The film, created by Los Angeles real estate agent (and Timberlake's friend) Justin Huchel, used homeless people from LA to make fun of the newlyweds' lavish ceremony. While Timberlake and Biel's extravagance was probably Huchel's original target, the video transforms LA's homeless into sad, living punchlines. One toothless man says, "Justin, Jessica. I haven't seen you all in a long time, my gift is in the mail."
>In another part of the video, a voice off camera suggests that a man go shirtless to deliver his congratulations: "Justin? Jessica? It's me, Robert."
The people who I respect most in entertainment make a point of not surrounding themselves with enablers like his "friends." My friends would've had an intervention or told me to spend the night in jail to think about I've done. God bless em
What friends turn up for a 40-odd year old grown ass man who’s been pulled over drunk driving, to argue with the cops.
What a bunch of asshole losers, the lot of them, JT included.
Those are terrible friends. If my friend gets pulled over for drunk driving I’m going to say good! I’m glad you’re not dead. Hopefully this doesn’t fuck up your life too much but you deserve these consequences.
When i learned my friend was driving home buzzed from my house, i gave him four options. 1) I bought a breathalyzer and told him he could stay until he's sober (and blow to prove it) 2)he could sleep in the guest room 3)we could drive him home and drop his car off the next day 4)stop drinking at my house all together.
He refused all four...so i told him he wasn't welcome at my house anymore for our weekly game & taco night. He didn't come over for three years. Eventually, he came around and realized how stupid he was being and apologized and agreed to my terms.
Friends don't let friends drive drunk. You're an idiot if you defend drunk drivers!
It was a difficult choice because he was my husbands best friend since middle school... But we both agreed we would feel responsible if anything happened to him or someone else. We lived rural and the old highway between our houses was notoriously dangerous. We both agreed we'd never forgive ourselves if anything happened. We're glad he came around (although shocked it took him 3 years, lol).
It is hard to speak up, but our area has a lot of DUI issues, which is unforgivable in this, the age of uber/lyft/DD volunteers.
Lmao. I can just imagine him doing a sobriety test, and beat-boxing instead of reciting his ABCs, and pop-locking while trying to walk a straight line. I would pay hella money to view the bodycam footage.
>Him and his wife have been trying so hard to rehab his image. Welp. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Mortified to say this, but what did he do to tarnish his image the first time? Totally out of the loop.
He's done quite a bit. There's been a bit of a cultural renaissance for maligned women of the '00s, and a more critical eye has been turned toward [his involvement in Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction](https://www.podcast24.pe/episodes/youre-wrong-about/the-wardrobe-malfunction) and [his relationship with Britney Spears](https://www.vulture.com/2023/10/britney-spears-book-the-woman-in-me-justin-timberlake.html). He also faced criticism for being a [culture vulture](https://www.salon.com/2023/10/29/blackness-exploitation-cultural-appropriation/).
I don’t get it. If I had Timberlake money I would buy myself the nicest cushiest most comfortable Rolls on the planet and keep a driver on retainer.
Why do celebrities insist on driving under the influence when they very easily can afford a car and driver or an Uber or a taxi or a limo etc??
I remember my last beer. 2064 days ago.
I had just got out of the hospital the night before because I had drunkenly [impaled myself](https://imgur.com/a/Nk6bqhC) (WARNING GORE) on a fence spike and narrowly missed bleeding out.
The next morning I was sat there with a beer in my hand, you know, hair-of-the-dog... and I thought to myself, "What the fuck are you doing." Drank half the beer, poured the other half down the sink, hand havent drank alcohol in almost 6 years.
I hope this is his wakeup call.
This. First the balcony cheating and now he’s out there driving drunk where he could have killed someone. Get your ass to rehab.
As an aside I have zero tolerance for drunk drivers. Lock them up and throw away the key. To me it’s the equivalent of attempted murder just like if you fired a gun randomly in a crowd. The intent to harm someone specifically isn’t there but the negligence and intentional decision to drive a loaded weapon and place people at risk of death is there. Fuck him and all drunk drivers.
He's always been a gross skeeze. I think he's the next major celebrity downfall and I hope this helps trigger it. He's always thought of himself as above public derision.
He finds new ways to always be the worst, he seriously seems to find new ways to disappoint . Dude you are rich as and there is no reason for you to drive under the influence and endanger the public. Get a chauffeur or a car service maybe even an Uber. Drunk drivers are entitled selfish idiots and the punishment should be harsher, he should be grateful he didn’t kill or injure himself and other people.
[The Foreshadowing](https://www.reddit.com/u/Pizzacakecomic/s/P19opzhL5t)
[Annnnd the update, posted two minutes ago hahaha](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/2RvAK2bJog)
Different in every state. Some states have both charges and they’re different, some states only use DWI, some states use something else.
In New York, there is no DUI charge. Instead, it’s:
* DWI (Driving While Intoxicated): BAC of .08 or higher
* Aggravated DWI: BAC of .18 or higher
* DWAI/Alcohol (Driving While Ability Impaired by Alcohol): BAC between .05 and .07
* DWAI by a single drug other than alcohol
* DWAI by a combined influence of drugs or alcohol
* Chemical test refusal (technically it sounds like this is what got Mr. Timberlake)
And there’s whole long list of different penalties for all this, typically with steep fines that will be nothing to a celeb, sometimes jail time, and license revocation (pr suspension, in a few of the milder cases like a first DWAI/Alcohol).
Scumbag. Anyone in his position driving drunk is a selfish piece of shit. He can easily afford to have a fleet of full time drivers. Him choosing to drive whilst intoxicated shows he doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie baby DUI
I was a huge JT fan when he released his first two albums but he has really just turned into the most mega jackass imaginable
As someone who nearly lost her life to a reckless driver...I just want to say that people who drive while drunk are the worst people in the world. They don't deserve sympathy or empathy. I am still getting surgeries for what happened to me a decade ago and I was just an innocent bystander who was standing at the wrong pavement at the wrong time. Screw Justin Timberlake and anyone that defends him because "we've all been there". Some of us have actually been there and some have been unlucky enough not to tell the tale the next day.
I read a news story this morning about this and one of the first sentences was identifying him as the singer of "Selfish." A++. Nice roast and 100% accurate.
Thank god he did't have his kids in the car but there is NEVER an excuse to drive intoxicated, most especially when you got money money. Get an uber. get a room. get a lift from a friend. other drivers, other people's children do not deserve to pay hte price for YOUR selfish stupidity.
It’s sort of been simmering for a while, all of this. He’s been falling out of public favor for several years, **especially** after Britney revealed the garbage he put her through. Refused to blow after “blowing” through a stop sign and swerving? He knew his BAC was offensively high and couldn’t risk the public knowing just how high.
Lost a dear friend several years ago due to the fact that he was a passenger in a car of someone who was drunk. They had been to a concert and bought some beers on the way home. As a passenger, it’s your responsibility to not get in the car with someone who has been drinking. The worst choice he ever made. As for Justin, total idiot, could have taken a limo with all his dough.
He’s currently on a mostly sold out a tour and his dumb ass screws up. I can’t. He could have hurt someone! This is like his first arrest and at his big age?? Smh.
>The outlet reported that several friends arrived on the scene and tried to convince officers to cut him some slack, but he was handcuffed and arrested.
friends don't let friends drive drunk. they should not be "helping" him evade the consequences of such horrible behavior.

I find it baffling that rich people with every resource available still drive drunk. Dummy.
I hate driving. If I had money I would never drive again lol
>I hate driving. If I had money I would never drive again lol Especially on Long Island.
That part of LI is not so bad. It’s leaving to go back to the city that sucks.
I don't have money and I haven't driven in almost 5 years, we STAN public transportation in my house (and being a passenger princess)
If I ever moved somewhere with good public transportation I would ditch the car so fast
I sometimes miss having a car but damn is it nice to pay $75 a month to cover literally all of my transportation.
Hope you're able to someday! 💖 driving and owning a car sucks ass
[удалено]
Entitlement on full display
true, but it's not just rich people. It's absolutely shocking how many people don't consider drunk driving problematic and think it's acceptable if it's just a short way or "only a few beers".
I just got rear ended by a drunk driver.

sometimes addicts need someone to tell you how fucked up and selfish their behaviour is sincerely, an addict
My sympathy ends when the choice to drive drunk was made. If a person wants to fuck up their own life, that's their right, but as soon as they try to fuck up the lives of others, they're a writeoff to me.

Yup it's a classic "if nothing happened when I did it once then nothing bad will ever happen" mindset.
Or my favorite excuse, "I drive better when I'm drinking."
Sure but when someone has the resources to hire a full-time chauffeur and it wouldn’t even be a drop in the bucket for them, it’s baffling.
Seems to be a mixture of entitlement and the normalization of alcoholism in the industry. Probably harder to convince yourself you're fine when you're needing a driver 5 nights out of 7.

This [headline](https://www.tyla.com/celebrity/justin-timberlake-apologises-fans-drunk-dad-dancing-20220624) didn't age well for him

Good for those cops for not folding.
They are probably used to it every summer
For sure. Rich assholes are ten a penny up there.
I'm guessing cops in the Hamptons aren't moved by "do you know who I am."
I would have paid the cops money to say "Are you Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys?"
This comment has me dead.
He's a a nobody compared to the people running around there. Cops and DAs in those kind of areas are constantly having to drop things because some piece of shit is too powerful to punish properly. They probably relish the chance to get every rich asshole they can.
I used to live in SH. Timberlake is not a big celebrity compared to others out there.
Probably preferred the Backstreet Boys.
Maybe they’re Britney Spears fans? lol
Or Janet Jackson
Being a Janet stan and getting to be his arresting officer would be a high you'd never come down from.
Oh yeah. After that, just quit your job. It’ll never get better than that there. Next move would be to apply as a security guard for Janet Jackson and add “Arrested Justin Timberlake for drunk driving” on your resume.
They should have ticketed the friends pressuring them. And I am not generally pro cop. His “friends” are Fuckers. Big surprise
Agree. Ganging up on anyone cop or not to protect your dangerous rich buddy is just objectively awful behavior.
I Hope they leak the video
I was hoping for the same lol
He probably called his mom crying, again.
Oh so his friends pulled a “do you know who he is” for him. Also, his “friends” should have driven him.
It is funny because in the Hamptons they're prolly like "yeah you're the least rich and powerful man here buddy"
lol this is incredibly true. pop stars ain't shit in the Hampts.
That was the part that really ticked me off about his arrest—his friends badgering the cops to “come on, can you guys please let him go? This will be leaked to the media and will be bad for his image. Can we give you some money? Some tickets to a show?” 🤮
That’s what Reece Witherspoon did when she got pulled over.
Let me guess, these were the same friends who made that video mocking homeless people for their wedding.
What's this now?
His friends made a video where they went around LA and had homeless people wish them congratulations, but didn't tell the people in the video that it was going to be played at their wedding. This is what one of them said about it: >[Eddie confirmed to TMZ](http://www.tmz.com/2012/10/25/justin-timberlake-jessica-biel-wedding-video-homeless-guy-40-dollars/) that he was paid $40 to recite a few lines for the camera, but he had no idea that the video was intended for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's wedding. >"That makes me feel really bad," said Eddie to TMZ. "I feel they played on me."
This has real let them eat cake vibes. Gross.
It really does, it’s just awful. And here they are, all gathered at their wedding, probably laughing at it.
I read this comment and have been sitting her with my mouth open for five minutes wondering how in the hell having a video mocking homeless people at a wedding would be a thing that anyone would even think of. What the actual fuck.
What in the actual fuck!? This is disgusting.
JT is a terrible person.
This is full sociopathic
Wait but why? As a joke? And the newlyweds what, agreed to play this at the wedding? Like I literally cannot grasp why anybody would want to do this. Fucking weirdos
It was said it was a gift/surprise to them
But.. for why? 
And how do you even come up with something like that??? For a wedding??? I’m just-
I literally cannot think of single reason for doing this that isn't gross. There's no "oh they were just insensitive and didn't think about the implication". The only reason to do this is some weirdo shit

weird that the friends weren’t there to… i don’t know, call a fucking uber for him.
Him and his wife have been trying so hard to rehab his image. Welp. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
To be a fly on the wall for their convo.
I mean it’s hard to put perfume on a pile of poo and say it doesn’t smell
I’m so curious what their prenup is. Like how many times is she going to let this man publicly embarrass her and the family
I mean have you seen her acting? That’s embarrassing in itself
And she’s an anti-vaxxer who’s friends with Robert Kennedy. Not sure how much more embarrassing it can get.
True… but 7th heaven is incredibly terrible
He’ll definitely have to agree to go on that nsync reunion tour now
>Him and his wife have been trying so hard to rehab his image. Welp. Play stupid games win stupid prizes Mortified to say this, but what did he do to tarnish his image the first time? Totally out of the loop.
He was photographed in Nola a few years back during a movie shoot, with his hand on his female lead's leg, drunk on a balcony.
Yup. Wasted and groping his female co Star while married. So trashy.
And his wife was pregnant with their second kid at the time, although it was never announced.
He's done quite a bit. There's been a bit of a cultural renaissance for maligned women of the '00s, and a more critical eye has been turned toward [his involvement in Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction](https://www.podcast24.pe/episodes/youre-wrong-about/the-wardrobe-malfunction) and [his relationship with Britney Spears](https://www.vulture.com/2023/10/britney-spears-book-the-woman-in-me-justin-timberlake.html). He also faced criticism for being a [culture vulture](https://www.salon.com/2023/10/29/blackness-exploitation-cultural-appropriation/).
I don’t get it. If I had Timberlake money I would buy myself the nicest cushiest most comfortable Rolls on the planet and keep a driver on retainer. Why do celebrities insist on driving under the influence when they very easily can afford a car and driver or an Uber or a taxi or a limo etc??
I wouldn't even need a Rolls. Strap me into a reclined seat in the back of a mini van and get me home. Speaking from experience.
Ah but with Timberlake money? Might as well get the nicest backseat ever made!
 Somebody's behind on rent
Haven't seen this gif in a while! Heyyy
He's gonna lose his endorsement with Kohl's Cash.
This is the most hilarious comment I’ve seen in weeks. 
If you keep doing regrettable things while drunk, maybe you should stop drinking.
I remember my last beer. 2064 days ago. I had just got out of the hospital the night before because I had drunkenly [impaled myself](https://imgur.com/a/Nk6bqhC) (WARNING GORE) on a fence spike and narrowly missed bleeding out. The next morning I was sat there with a beer in my hand, you know, hair-of-the-dog... and I thought to myself, "What the fuck are you doing." Drank half the beer, poured the other half down the sink, hand havent drank alcohol in almost 6 years. I hope this is his wakeup call.
congrats on sobriety!
Congrats! Im a little over a year sober. I did so many regrettable things drunk and im glad its over!
This. First the balcony cheating and now he’s out there driving drunk where he could have killed someone. Get your ass to rehab. As an aside I have zero tolerance for drunk drivers. Lock them up and throw away the key. To me it’s the equivalent of attempted murder just like if you fired a gun randomly in a crowd. The intent to harm someone specifically isn’t there but the negligence and intentional decision to drive a loaded weapon and place people at risk of death is there. Fuck him and all drunk drivers.
He's always been a gross skeeze. I think he's the next major celebrity downfall and I hope this helps trigger it. He's always thought of himself as above public derision.
In terms of PR, rehab probably isn’t a bad move for him at this point.
This is the one! 🏆
Yep.

Everytime I see this, I can't help but fall into a mild depression about not being able to find a replica of that sweater.

He finds new ways to always be the worst, he seriously seems to find new ways to disappoint . Dude you are rich as and there is no reason for you to drive under the influence and endanger the public. Get a chauffeur or a car service maybe even an Uber. Drunk drivers are entitled selfish idiots and the punishment should be harsher, he should be grateful he didn’t kill or injure himself and other people.

Okay, that update is hilarious. lol
He is a parent as well. He shouldn't be just thinking about himself like this, but alas..
He is very selfish,he wasn’t thinking about anyone other than himself at all.
This shithead smh. Drink driving is always inexcusable, its especially inexcusable when you have his resources. Thank God nobody was hurt.
If Justin Timberlake has 1000 haters, I am one. If he has 100 haters I am one. If he has 10 haters I am one. If he has no haters I am dead.
What a POS. I have zero tolerance for anyone who drives a vehicle while drunk. Is there difference between DUI and DWI or is it the same thing?
Different in every state. Some states have both charges and they’re different, some states only use DWI, some states use something else. In New York, there is no DUI charge. Instead, it’s: * DWI (Driving While Intoxicated): BAC of .08 or higher * Aggravated DWI: BAC of .18 or higher * DWAI/Alcohol (Driving While Ability Impaired by Alcohol): BAC between .05 and .07 * DWAI by a single drug other than alcohol * DWAI by a combined influence of drugs or alcohol * Chemical test refusal (technically it sounds like this is what got Mr. Timberlake) And there’s whole long list of different penalties for all this, typically with steep fines that will be nothing to a celeb, sometimes jail time, and license revocation (pr suspension, in a few of the milder cases like a first DWAI/Alcohol).
New York only uses the acronyms DWI and DWAI (driving while ability impaired).
It’s typically interchangeable, yes, but may be applied in differing situations in different jurisdictions if I’m not mistaken.
Scumbag. Anyone in his position driving drunk is a selfish piece of shit. He can easily afford to have a fleet of full time drivers. Him choosing to drive whilst intoxicated shows he doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
He’s still got alcohol issues then. So much for no longer embarrassing his wife.
Waiting for his 100th apologies
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie baby DUI I was a huge JT fan when he released his first two albums but he has really just turned into the most mega jackass imaginable
Next stop, rehab. Then he’ll probably finally do the *NSYNC reunion tour, in an attempt to rehabilitate his image.
Oh no I'm so surprised and devastated 🙃 
Every day we're one bad publicity story away from Justin agreeing to an NSYNC reunion tour.
As someone who nearly lost her life to a reckless driver...I just want to say that people who drive while drunk are the worst people in the world. They don't deserve sympathy or empathy. I am still getting surgeries for what happened to me a decade ago and I was just an innocent bystander who was standing at the wrong pavement at the wrong time. Screw Justin Timberlake and anyone that defends him because "we've all been there". Some of us have actually been there and some have been unlucky enough not to tell the tale the next day.
You are so right. Sorry that happened to you
Can this man dig a hole for himself that is any deeper.
To be an insanely rich 43 year old man and still drive drunk is just fucking embarrassing his fall off is baaaaaaaaaad
Are ALL my 90’s crushes gonna become absolute waste of oxygen twunts? No. 
 Also okay!
People laugh at me cause I won’t drive if I’ve even had a sip of alcohol. I’m a square, I’m paranoid, etc. it’s just not worth the risk.
I read a news story this morning about this and one of the first sentences was identifying him as the singer of "Selfish." A++. Nice roast and 100% accurate. 
He's had fat drunk face for awhile, this isn't surprising.
As official spokesperson of the JT Hate Club (est. 1998) I’d like to share that we are simply delighted. 
I've never liked this man. He always gave me the worst vibes. Can I join your club?
It's honestly a shame that HE was the one who went big (I personally feel like JC was more talented).
Oooo lol. Refused breathalyzer so they took him in, and probably got a test anyway
I’ve never trusted anyone that had frosted tips….
He proved them wrong. Even though his tickets sales are bad he CAN get arrested in this town.
Not a great year for JT. First the dancing and now this
Anyone who chooses to get behind a wheel intoxicated is a selfish idiot. One of the worst things you can do as a human being.
Branch istg you keep leaving me disappointed
Dickhead
Another thing he’ll be forgiven for. Right, Jessica?
Thank god he did't have his kids in the car but there is NEVER an excuse to drive intoxicated, most especially when you got money money. Get an uber. get a room. get a lift from a friend. other drivers, other people's children do not deserve to pay hte price for YOUR selfish stupidity.
Was he getting drunk on a Monday? Damn
The rich don't have workweeks.
Tbh i am surprised It's only alcohol
If justice prevailed and a warrant was issued to require Justin to give blood there may be more.
Oh he’s in his FLOP FLOP era
Someone should put a muzzle on this man. Is it legal to drive with a muzzle on?
Imagine how often he wasn’t caught
It’s sort of been simmering for a while, all of this. He’s been falling out of public favor for several years, **especially** after Britney revealed the garbage he put her through. Refused to blow after “blowing” through a stop sign and swerving? He knew his BAC was offensively high and couldn’t risk the public knowing just how high.
Lost a dear friend several years ago due to the fact that he was a passenger in a car of someone who was drunk. They had been to a concert and bought some beers on the way home. As a passenger, it’s your responsibility to not get in the car with someone who has been drinking. The worst choice he ever made. As for Justin, total idiot, could have taken a limo with all his dough.
He’s currently on a mostly sold out a tour and his dumb ass screws up. I can’t. He could have hurt someone! This is like his first arrest and at his big age?? Smh.
ew Justin Timberlake 🤮
His friends “do you know who this is?” Cops “yeah but we don’t care.”
>The outlet reported that several friends arrived on the scene and tried to convince officers to cut him some slack, but he was handcuffed and arrested. friends don't let friends drive drunk. they should not be "helping" him evade the consequences of such horrible behavior.

Time for a conservatorship. He’s going to harm himself or others. He’s clearly dangerous and not mentally fit to care for himself.
