WATCH: Justin Timberlake Struggles Through Sobriety Test In Newly-Released Video

New body-cam footage released this month shows singer Justin Timberlake struggling through a field sobriety test in the 2024 Hampton stop that ended with his arrest for driving while intoxicated.

Timberlake was driving in Sag Harbor, New York, at the time of his arrest in June 2024. He later pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired, receiving community service and issuing a public apology, according to Fox News Digital.

In part of the approximately eight hours of footage, an officer questions Timberlake, who is still in the car.

“I’m on tour,” Timberlake said when the officer asked what he was doing in the area. He then clarified, “A world tour.”

“Doing what?” the officer asked.

“It’s hard to explain,” Timberlake said. “World tour. I’m Justin Timberlake.”

“You are Justin Timberlake?” the officer asked. “Do you have a license with you?”

Later in the video, Timberlake interrupts the officer explaining the field sobriety test.

“Guys, I’m just following my friends back to my house,” Timberlake said. “I’m not doing anything, I’m just following my friends.”

The video shows Timberlake struggling to walk heel-to-toe in a straight line and stand on one leg.

“By the way, these are, like, these are really hard tests,” he told the officers.

Timberlake refused to take a breathalyzer test, at which point the officers arrested him on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Timberlake had sued Sag Harbor Village and the police department earlier this month to stop the release of the footage, according to Fox News Digital. His lawyers said they were told on March 1 that the video would be released in response to a request under Freedom of Information law, although it would be redacted for medical and security reasons.

To block the release, the singer had argued the video contained private information “not germane to any public law enforcement action of public concern.”

On March 20, Timberlake’s lawyers allowed the release of the video in a joint filing that said the footage “does not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

Despite the incident, Timberlake was able to continue his 2024 tour.
