Last week, there was significant buzz about Justin Timberlake, who was arrested in New York for driving under the influence. During his questioning at the police station, the musician allegedly insisted that he drank "only one Martini" that unfortunate night.

The behind-the-scenes details of his arrest have also surfaced. The police officer who arrested the musician did not recognize Justin, so he didn't know he was dealing with a star. Interestingly, Justin supposedly asked the officer for leniency, as he said that the scandal with the arrest would cast a shadow on his career and ongoing tour.

The musician has already left custody and returned to performing. It is said that Justin's court hearing will take place on July 26th, the same day the star is set to perform in Poland. However, the organizer told Pudelek that the show is not at risk.

Justin Timberlake breaks silence after the arrest

Justin Timberlake had not commented on the scandal until now. He decided to break his silence by playing a concert in Chicago on Friday. Standing on stage, Justin poignantly mentioned:

It's been a tough week- he began.

He then addressed the fans.

I know sometimes I'm hard to love but you keep on loving me and I love you right back - he added.

Were these the words you expected?
