Shortly after being apprehended for suspected drunk driving, Justin Timberlake performed the first of his two concerts in Chicago.
During his performance on Friday, he seemed to make a comment about the Sag Harbour arrest. Videos circulating on social media capture him speaking to the audience at the event.
“We’ve experienced a range of situations, both positive and negative, and have navigated through various directions.” It has been a challenging week, but you and I are both here,” he stated, graciously acknowledging the enthusiastic applause from the crowd.
“I understand that I can be difficult to love at times, but you continue to love me in return,” Timberlake expressed.
Timberlake was taken into custody on Tuesday in Sag Harbour, Long Island. According to court documents reviewed by CBS News, the singer was stopped at 12:37 a.m. local time for allegedly driving through a stop sign. According to court documents, Timberlake is said to have neglected to stay on the right side of the road.
According to reports, Timberlake claimed to have consumed only one martini and was simply driving behind his friends. However, the officer who stopped him described the singer as being visibly intoxicated, with bloodshot and glassy eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol on his breath. It has been claimed that he did not perform well on the standard field sobriety tests. According to recently uncovered documents, Timberlake declined to take three breath tests.
Timberlake was apprehended and had his photograph captured. Timberlake was arraigned on Tuesday morning and released on his own recognisance. Officials have announced that he is scheduled to appear in court again on July 26, this time virtually.
These Chicago concerts mark his initial public appearances following the arrest. The stops are part of his highly anticipated Forget Tomorrow World Tour, marking his triumphant return to the stage after a five-year hiatus. He is scheduled to perform another concert on Saturday evening.
