Jessica Biel is reportedly “extremely upset” following the recent arrest of her husband, Justin Timberlake, on a DWI charge. Sources close to the couple revealed that Biel, 42, was blindsided by the news while she was busy filming her upcoming Prime Video thriller series, “The Better Sister,” in Manhattan.
The incident occurred on June 18, 2024, when Timberlake, 43, was pulled over by police in Sag Harbor after allegedly running a stop sign and swerving on the road. The “SexyBack” singer was returning from a dinner with friends at the American Hotel when the arrest took place. Witnesses at the hotel claimed Timberlake appeared “wasted,” although he reportedly told Biel that he had been “barely drinking.”
Biel, who has been married to Timberlake since 2012 and shares two sons with him, was deeply concerned upon hearing the news. An insider mentioned that she was “really worried” about her husband and had no prior knowledge of the incident as she was engrossed in her work.
Timberlake’s arrest has not only shocked Biel but also left the singer feeling remorseful and humiliated. According to sources, Timberlake is taking full accountability for his actions and views the incident as a significant lapse in judgment. He is determined to use this experience as an opportunity to reset and continue setting a positive example for his family and fans.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Timberlake’s legal team is preparing to defend him vigorously. His lawyer, Ed Burke, stated that they are awaiting full discovery from the district attorney’s office and will have more to say at the appropriate time. Timberlake, who refused to take a blood alcohol test three times and failed a field sobriety test, faces a single count of DWI and two traffic violations. He was released without bail after his arraignment.
The arrest has undoubtedly taken a toll on Timberlake, who is currently on a break from his “Forget Tomorrow World Tour.” The singer is scheduled to perform in Chicago later this week and has upcoming shows at Madison Square Garden. It remains unclear whether the arrest will impact his tour schedule.
Biel, on the other hand, has been trying to maintain her professional commitments despite the personal turmoil. She was seen filming scenes for “The Better Sister” in Central Park, dressed in medieval attire. Colleagues on set noted that while Biel appeared tired, she remained focused on her work and received positive feedback from the cast and crew.
The couple has not publicly addressed the arrest, and their representatives have not responded to requests for comment. Timberlake’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 26, 2024, the same day he is set to perform in Kraków, Poland. The outcome of the case could potentially affect his future performances and public image.
As the situation unfolds, Biel continues to support her husband, despite the emotional strain. Insiders emphasize that she always gives Timberlake the benefit of the doubt and remains by his side through challenging times. The couple’s resilience and commitment to each other will be crucial as they navigate this difficult period.
