Pop star Justin Timberlake's wife Jessica Biel expressed discomfort over the release of the video of her husband's drunk driving arrest.
On the 23rd (local time), People reported that Jessica Biel was "not pleased" about the release of the body-cam footage showing her husband Justin Timberlake's drunk driving (DWI) arrest.
A source told People, "She is not pleased about the renewed attention. There was a reason they tried to prevent the footage from being released," adding, "It is stressful. It certainly does not show Timberlake in his best light."
The source emphasized, "Jessica just wants this to pass," and explained, "There have been some difficult moments recently, and she is focused on moving forward. She is happiest when she can focus on family life."
Despite renewed attention on the incident, Biel is still reportedly supporting her husband. The source added, "While she supports her husband, she is not afraid to express disappointment when certain decisions are made. This was one of those moments."
According to multiple foreign media reports, about 20 minutes of police body-cam footage showing Justin Timberlake's drunk driving arrest in Hampton, New York, in 2024 was released.
In the footage, Timberlake is seen getting out of his gray BMW and undergoing a breathalyzer test at the officers' direction. He staggered several times during the walk‑in‑a‑straight‑line test, and although he tried to remain polite throughout, he drew controversy by refusing to use the breathalyzer several times.
The footage also captured a female acquaintance of Timberlake pleading with officers, "Are you arresting Justin Timberlake now? Please, just look the other way," and Timberlake muttering to himself, "This is going to ruin my world tour," which drew attention.
A later-released mugshot showed bloodshot eyes, shocking many. He initially insisted at the time of arrest that he was "not intoxicated," but reached a plea agreement admitting guilt that reduced the drunk driving charge to a traffic violation.
Justin Timberlake sued the village of Sag Harbor to prevent the footage from being released, but the video was ultimately made public.
