Gayle King is standing by Justin Timberlake following his recent DWI arrest. On Wednesday’s episode of CBS Mornings, King addressed the incident, offering a strong defense of Timberlake’s character.
“Justin Timberlake is a really, really great guy,” King said during the broadcast. “Listen, this is clearly a mistake — I bet nobody knows it more than he.”
King’s comments came during a discussion with her co-anchors about the singer’s drunk driving charge. The 69-year-old journalist emphasized that Timberlake is not an irresponsible person.
“He’s not an irresponsible person, he’s not reckless, he’s not careless,” King stated, reinforcing her belief in Timberlake’s fundamentally good nature.
When co-anchor Nate Burleson described the incident as a “stupid mistake,” King agreed, adding that Timberlake is fully aware of the gravity of his actions.
“He knows that,” King said, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation while maintaining her support for Timberlake.
Timberlake’s arrest has been a topic of significant media attention, with many speculating on the impact it might have on his personal and professional life. Sources close to the singer have indicated that his wife, Jessica Biel, is not happy about the arrest but remains supportive.
“Jessica Biel is ‘not happy’ about Justin Timberlake’s arrest but ‘will always be by his side,'” a source revealed, highlighting the couple’s commitment to each other despite the challenges they face.
King’s defense of Timberlake is a reminder of the complexities of public figures’ lives and the importance of understanding and compassion. As the story continues to unfold, Timberlake’s fans and supporters are likely to keep a close eye on how he navigates this difficult period.
