He had eight hours behind bars to sober up. On the morning of June 18, Justin Timberlake, who had been arrested at around 1 a.m. for driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, N.Y., appeared “shell-shocked,” “bleary-eyed” and “upset,” according to an eyewitness, as the singer was led in handcuffs to his arraignment at the courthouse in the tony Hamptons village. The A-lister was accompanied by his lawyer and two other people, adds the eyewitness, but his wife of nearly 12 years, Jessica Biel, who had been filming a TV show in nearby NYC all week, “was not with him.”
That didn’t come as a huge surprise to those close to the couple. “Justin has humiliated her again,” a source says of the actress, who has endured multiple cheating scandals over their 17year relationship. “This could all lead to a divorce bombshell. No one would be shocked if Jessica issued Justin an ultimatum: Get help — or it’s over.”
HARD PARTYING
He denied he was drunk. Though witnesses claimed to have seen him getting “wasted” at the American Hotel bar earlier in the night, Justin claimed he “had one martini” and was following friends home when officers pulled him over for running a stop sign and veering out of his lane. Those same pals reportedly showed up and tried to talk the cops, who didn’t recognize the superstar, out of arresting him. But Justin, 43, was “glassyeyed,” smelled of alcohol, and “performed poorly” on field sobriety tests, according to the police report. At the station later, he refused a Breathalyzer test, as is his right. (“I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake on these allegations,” his lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., said in a June 19 statement after his client was released without bail. Justin is due back in court on July 26.)
