Justin Timberlake was in court today to answer to the charges that he was driving while intoxicated in June. The singer took a plea deal and pled guilty to a noncriminal traffic violation of driving while impaired.
As part of the plea, he will pay a $500 fine with a $250 surcharge, perform 25 hours of community service, and have his driver’s license suspended for 90 days in New York.
After the sentencing, he gave a statemebt to the press. “I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself. And this was not that. I found myself in a position where I could have made a different decision. But I’ve had some time to reflect on that,” he said. “What I’d like to say to everyone watching and listening, even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car. There are so many alternatives: call a friend, take an Uber, there are many travel apps, take a taxi. This is a mistake that I made, but I’m hoping that whoever’s watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have. Like I said, ‘Even one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car.”
He also apologized to the people of Sag Harbor for the attention he brought to their small, quiet town.
Timberlake’s lawyer told the press that his client only had one drink, and the initial reports that he was combative with the arresting police officer were false. As is the report, the officer was argumentative with him.
Justin Timberlake might have been in a Boy Band. But he is like an old man at 43.
At a recent show, the Suit & Tie singer wore a suit and tie. However, since it is the summer, his pants were shorts. Therefore, he called the Burberry threads a Summer Suit.
The look is pretty bad. However, he made it look worse by wearing white knee-high socks and white sneakers. So, he looked like he was ready to perform at a nursing home as compared to an arena.
Seriously, he is more like a grandfather than a daddy. And he has never been a Zaddy.
On June 18th, Justin Timberlake was pulled over on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons, and he refused to take a breathalyzer test.
Today, he appeared in court virtually because he is in Belgium on his world tour, and he pled not guilty.
The judge suspended his driver’s license indefinitely. Not over the charge of a DUI, but because he refused to take a breathalyzer. For that, he could see it suspended for up to a year, according to TMZ.
CBS News reports the next court date is August 9th, and he might be required to appear in person in September.
I am surprised he hasn’t tried to do some crisis control and shot an anti-driving while drunk commercial.
Will King likes to parody songs from the ’90s, and his latest one turns *NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye into a DUI.
Last week, the comedian released the first part of the song. It pretty much kept to the facts.
However, for the second part, he really went for it. And I have never seen him do that with any of his other parodies. I am so here for it.
It starts off simply; JT knew he shouldn’t drink or drive. But then…he brings up that the cop didn’t know who the singer was, ruined his failing tour, he’s no longer too good for his old band, and at least Britney Spears never got a DUI!
So, as King sits there wearing a hat, I am taking mine off to him!
In case you have not heard, Justin Timberlake was arrested on Tuesday morning on suspicion of DWI. And people have had a lot to say about it.
One of the people is comedic songwriter Will King, who is like Weird Al Yankovic with ’90s tunes. For his latest tune, he parodies *NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye as DUI. And I can’t stop laughing.
The Selfish singer won’t find it funny, but we can!
