In a surprising twist, Britney Spears has publicly commented on the recent arrest of her former partner, Justin Timberlake, expressing her satisfaction with the news. Timberlake, who was arrested early Tuesday morning in Sag Harbor, New York, has been charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI).
The 43-year-old singer was apprehended by the Sag Harbor Police Department after allegedly running a stop sign and refusing to take a breathalyzer test. The arrest occurred as Timberlake was leaving a party at the American Hotel. Following his arraignment, Timberlake was released without bail and is scheduled to appear in court again on July 26. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office has yet to provide further comments on the case.

Timberlake had recently shared a heartfelt Father’s Day message on Instagram, celebrating his role as a father to his two sons with wife Jessica Biel. His post highlighted his commitment to his family and his gratitude for fatherhood. This message contrasted sharply with the recent developments in his personal life.
Timberlake’s arrest comes at a time when he is actively touring, with upcoming shows scheduled at the United Center in Chicago and Madison Square Garden in New York City. The incident has sparked widespread discussion about its potential impact on his career and public image.
