Justin Timberlake Jokes About Being “White” in New Drunk Driving Arrest Footage

Justin Timberlake continues to make headlines after fresh bodycam footage from his 2024 DWI arrest resurfaced online, with one particular moment sparking conversation.

The clip, filmed during his arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, shows the Pop star navigating a tense situation with police.

However, it’s a brief exchange about how he was identified on paperwork that has caught the most attention.

See what we mean below…

While reviewing documents, the ‘Mirrors’ singer appears to joke with officers about being labeled as “white,” a moment that drew a few laughs before the mood quickly shifted back to the seriousness of the case he was facing..

Beyond that exchange, the footage paints a more melancholy picture.

The performer looks visibly stunned after being told he would remain in custody overnight, at one point dropping his head in disappointment.

There is also noticeable confusion during the stop, with the officer seemingly unaware of who he was, even as the entertainer referenced being on a world tour.

The June 2024 arrest stemmed from allegations that he was swerving, ran a stop sign, and failed field sobriety tests.

He later accepted a plea deal, reducing the charge and agreeing to fines, community service, and a temporary license suspension.

In the time since, he lobbied for the footage to remain under wraps. Recently, he agreed to a redacted version being released to the public.
