Justin Timberlake jokes about his DWI arrest during a Boston concert, leaving fans stunned | Watch

Justin Timberlake jokingly referenced his arrest for allegedly driving while intoxicated during his Boston concert on June 29. The singer and actor made a one-liner about the incident at Boston’s TD Garden during his ‘Forget Tomorrow’ world tour.

‘So, uh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving?’ Timberlake asked the cheering crowd in a fan-captured clip.

‘No, I’m just kidding,’ he quickly added.

The comment drew a mix of gasps and laughter from the crowd. The singer followed the wisecrack by asking the audience who was attending for the first time and who’d seen him before.

‘Is there anyone here tonight, that it’s your first time here to the show? Is there anybody here that you’ve been to 1, 2, 3, maybe 4 of our shows?,’ he said. He added, ‘For all of you that it’s your first time tonight — on a serious note — I hope that you feel the fellowship and the love.’

When Timberlake 1st addressed situation

Timberlake first addressed the situation at Chicago's United Center, expressing gratitude to his supportive fans. He stated, ‘I'm here... I know sometimes I'm hard to love, but you keep on loving me, and I love you right back. Thank you so much.’

A source speaking to ET revealed that the DWI arrest has deeply affected him, but he is attempting to see it as an opportunity for personal reset. The insider added that Timberlake is experiencing remorse, shame, and humiliation, taking the situation seriously and recognising its potential impact on his role as a husband, father, and on his fans.
