Right after Father’s Day and before a couple dates of his tour, many people might be wondering where Jessica Biel was during Justin Timberlake‘s arrest. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre actress supported her husband shortly before he was reportedly driving while intoxicated.
On June 17, 2024, Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York. ABC News was first to break the news. Timberlake was seen at the American Hotel and was stopped after police saw him drive past a stop sign and pulled him over. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that cops observed Justin glassy-eyed and reported that they smelled alcohol on his breath. The sources also said he failed the field sobriety test when asked to do a one-legged stand and a walk and turn.
The “Can’t Stop The Feeling Singer” was later arraigned and released without bail. He was charged with 1 count of DWI and cited for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane. His next court date is July 26, with attorney Ed Burke, Jr. representing him.
Where was Jessica Biel during Justin Timberlake’s arrest?
Jessica Biel was filming in New York City hours before Justin Timberlake’s arrest. The actress was filming the upcoming Prime Video series The Better Sister. She was walking alongside co-star Elizabeth Banks, who was dressed up in medieval garb.
A day before the arrest Jessica Biel made a tribute to Timberlake for Father’s Day on her Instagram. She wrote, “You’re so many things to so many people. But to us you are THE ROCK. The rock we climb on, we lean against. The rock that shades us from the sun. And when we recline on you, as we always do, hopefully our butts will keep you eternally grounded and warm. We LOVE YOU 🪨❤️”
After news of the arrest broke, people commented on the post about her husband’s actions. “This didn’t age well,” one person wrote. “A rock who has all that money and STILL chooses to drive drunk instead of calling an Uber. Great example for your kids 🙄”
Timberlake and Biel met in 2007 and started dating the following year. The couple split in February 2011 after three years of dating, but later reunited three months later before tying the knot in October 2012. They welcomed their son Silas, 4, in 2015.
