Justin Timberlake arrested for drink driving

Hello all

Pictures emerging of him in handcuffs today.

What's the bet that he will released a supposedly heart-felt statement apologising for his wrong doings and then enter rehab (the celebrity get-out-of-jail-free card)?

Horrible, arrogant man that he is. He's also incapable of being faithful apparently.

Same as Ant McPartlin as far as I'm concerned. A cheater with a drink problem.

Drink driving is utterly reprehensible and I really cannot see why it's treated like a minor misdemeanour and celebs are do their tiny bit of penance then it's all to be forgotten about.

@CulturalNomad yeah I recall that about Reece Witherspoon. V disappointing as I like(d) here.

Agree, celebs like to kid on they're all genuine and humble etc. But they mostly aren't! It's all fake!

I’ve always liked him and I’m sure I still will. But there’s never an excuse for drink driving. I really hope he’s learned from this and doesn’t do it again.

What is the point of being insanely wealthy if not to use a driver?

Interested in this thread?

Cheating arrogance. Didn't think he'd drink drive though. You can just imagine his PR spinning into action...

"You can just imagine his PR spinning into action"

No doubt he's on his way to an exclusive rehab facility and there will be a statement issued about how he's struggling with depression and/or addiction to prescription medications.

He supposedly cheated on Britney with Nicole Appleton. There is certainly a photo of them leaving a nightclub together in the back of the car and her trying to hide her face.

He apparently said something on stage where he backtracked on the apology to Britney and Janet Jackson.

Nicole Appleton again? Didn't the partners of Patsy Kensit (Liam) and Christine McGuinness (Paddy) find her a welcome distraction too? 🤐

It always amazes me how in US films/tv they always seem to sink a load of martinis/wine/beer then get behind the wheel and it’s not even a plot device. I find it really strange and uncomfortable. Is there a big problem with DD over there?

Shellow · 19/06/2024 00:18

I think there will be a PR statement, possibly a video from him apologising. I think they will then try to push on with his tour and put it behind him. If the tour is cancelled then I think it will be an nsync reunion after he’s been to rehab. It will be the only way to go.

Always amazed how quickly the public forgave Ant, the scuzzy little man that he is.

Edited

Awww... I love Ant. Just because he is famous and rich doesn't mean he is immune from life's troubles.

And if you hate him for how his marriage ended, well.... I think Lisa has moved on. I advise you to do the same.

SpringerFall · 19/06/2024 00:34

Well I don't notice non celebs being locked up for 20 years for it

So whenever a celeb does something people don't realise they are normal people like the rest of us it is only the public that think they own them

It has only just happened I believe so how are the armchair experts getting information to know how different they are being treated to 'normal' people?

JT and Ryan Gosling had a bet over who would be the first to snog Jessica Simpson when they were in the Mickey Mouse clubhouse. Years later after her divorce they went on a date, kissed and the first thing he did was ring Ryan Gosling in front of her to brag. What a cock.

There is a limit of .08% blood alcohol content in all 50 states.

Obv your size, sex, age, general health, type of drink, speed of drinking, empty stomach or full, and metabolic rate will affect your blood alcohol content. A man weighing 200lbs will have a lower BAC after two beers than a woman weighing 120 lbs. Both would probably be under .08% but the woman would be a lot closer to the limit.

Also, in the US, the offense of driving over the limit is Driving Under the Influence, formerly known as drunk driving (as opposed to drink driving in the UK). The average woman could legally (and probably safely) get behind the wheel after a small glass or two of wine or a bottle of beer.

We all do indeed have life’s troubles. The vast majority of us however do not solve them by getting pissed up and then saving the cost of a cab (we could easily afford) by driving when knowingly over the limit, putting innocent members of the public at risk.

Spme states use the term DWI (driving while intoxicated). This is what JT has been charged with, in NY state.

Oblomov24 · 19/06/2024 06:43

It's not hard, especially when you are mega loaded, to order a cab, and come back and get your car the next day.

Ginmonkeyagain · 19/06/2024 07:47

Or even, if you are drinking at a hotel, perhaps booking a room for the night.

I always remember this whenever Justin timberlake gets mentioned.

Photos today of him in the news looking very red eyed, alongside suggestions that he may have taken more than alcohol.
