Timberlake's heartfelt apology after DWI: Netizens react
Justin Timberlake was detained in the second half of June for driving under the influence of alcohol. On Friday, he appeared at a hearing regarding the incident, which also featured a remarkable speech from the singer.
Justin Timberlake was detained in New York in June for driving after consuming alcohol. The police intervened after the American singer ignored a stop sign and failed to stay in his lane. According to media reports, after being detained, he insisted that he only had "one Martini." The 43-year-old's case has resurfaced due to the settlement reached by his lawyer and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.
The star had to admit to operating a vehicle in a state of impaired ability due to alcohol consumption. This also meant a much lower penalty. The final amount was to be determined when the case was transferred to the Sag Harbor Village District Court.
Justin Timberlake’s awkward apology. He mentioned one drink
On Friday, September 13th, Justin Timberlake appeared in court. Timberlake was told that he must pay a $500 fine, participate in a campaign warning against driving after drinking, and complete 25 hours of community service.
The artist arrived at the hearing wearing a black cardigan, a T-shirt, and brown pants. However, his speech, given later the same day, right after the hearing, was the most emotional moment. The 43-year-old did not forget to mention the drink he had that fateful evening.
What I'd like to say to everyone watching and listening: Even if you've had one drink, don't get behind the wheel of a car. There's so many alternatives. Call a friend, take an Uber... - Justin urged.
This is a mistake that I made, but I’m hoping that whoever’s watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. I know that I certainly have - he added.
In the comments, there was no shortage of supportive voices for the singer. However, netizens couldn't ignore the pearls that were visible on his neck.
He talks about making good decisions, and I’m just looking at the pearls; He didn't wear a suit to court, that's absurd; What's up with those pearls?; Why the pearls?; What's on his neck?! - netizens were astonished.
