Justin Timberlake Cracks Joke About DWI Arrest At His Concert

Justin Timberlake made light of his legal troubles at his recent world tour concert stop in Boston, which made the crowd roar in laughter.

The Grammy-award-winning singer’s comments onstage came not long after his arrest in New York for allegedly driving while intoxicated.

Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, have since “moved on” from the arrest and have faith in their legal team.

During his recent Boston concert stop, the 43-year-old Grammy winner was recorded by a fan talking to the crowd and making jokes about his DWI arrest on June 18.

In the viral video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Timberlake was recorded saying, “So uh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving and … no, I’m just kidding.”

When the crowd burst into laughter, Timberlake kept going. He said, “Is there anyone here tonight that it’s your first time here to the show? Is there anybody here that you’ve been to 1, 2, 3, maybe 4 of our shows?”

The “Sexyback” singer then got serious with his fans, saying that he hopes all first-timers to his concert “feel the fellowship and the love” in the crowd.

In the comment section, many criticized Timberlake for not taking the opportunity to apologize for his actions and be responsible to his fans.

Timberlake’s jokes about his arrest come not long after his arrest in Sag Harbor, New York when police saw that he was unable to “keep on the right side of the roadway” and drove through a stop sign.

The arrest report revealed that Timberlake allegedly “performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests” and refused a breathalyzer test.

Timberlake was subsequently charged with one count of DWI and two citations for allegedly running a stop sign and failure to stay in lane.

He was arraigned the day after and released without bail. However, the “Sexyback” singer allegedly insisted that he only had one martini at the party before his drive. His next court date is scheduled for July 26.

Shortly after his arrest, Timberlake’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., released a statement on the case. It read, “Mr. Burke looks forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.”

Amid his arrest and the subsequent drama, Timberlake has also been busy with his ongoing “The Forget Tomorrow” world tour.

The tour is for the singer’s latest solo album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” released in March this year. It’s Timberlake’s first solo album since he released “Man of the Woods” in 2018.

Fortunately for Timberlake, he is not required to attend his July 26 date, as he has a tour stop scheduled for Poland that day.

The “Mirrors” singer recently performed two shows in Chicago and two at Madison Square Garden in New York, where his wife Jessica Biel was spotted cheering him on in the crowd. Timberlake also has concert stops scheduled for Birmingham, Manchester, and London in August.

A source told People magazine that Biel remains steadfastly supportive of her husband despite his DWI bust.

The insider shared that as Biel dives into her upcoming Prime Video series, she prioritizes her professional commitments after attending Timberlake’s Madison Square Garden performance, where she joyfully danced among the crowd.

“They’re always supportive of each other’s careers,” the insider shared. “Jess would never miss a show when she’s able to attend. She’s excited for him. They’ve moved on from the arrest.”

“They have faith in their legal team and continue to focus on work and their family instead. Jess enjoys filming and is excited about the project,” the source added.

Since his arrest, several videos of Timberlake at his concert stops have gone viral on social media.

A clip showing the “Cry Me A River” singer at a Florida concert received attention after Timberlake was seen slapping away the hand of a fan who tried to touch him during the performance.

When the singer felt the touch, he immediately looked down with an annoyed expression and slapped away the fan’s hand. Concert security then stepped in to help the singer away from the crowd.
