Justin Timberlake, the global superstar, was reportedly arrested on DWI charges on the 18th, local time in the U.S.
According to news reports, he had been drinking with friends and got behind the wheel after midnight. Things escalated when he refused to take a breathalyzer test.
This incident seems to be gaining a lot of attention in the U.S. right now.
Local media say that Justin Timberlake has had several issues related to alcohol over the years.
It’s sad to hear such news about someone who’s made a huge name for himself worldwide with hit songs like “Sexy Back,” “My Love,” and “CAN’T STOP THE FEELING.”
While it’s true that such things can happen to ordinary people in everyday life, the actions of a superstar who has countless followers can influence many. That’s why they’re called public figures.
Timberlake has been released after being charged at the Sag Harbor Village Court, and his next court date is set for July 26, which will likely determine his fate.

Drunk driving is no different from potential murder, so it’s clear that one should never get behind the wheel after drinking.
If you drive even once after a little bit of drinking, the likelihood of doing it again in a similar situation is quite high.
This article reminds me of the recent troubles faced by the Korean singer Mr. Kim, who also created a big issue with his DWI.
