In a recent court appearance, Justin Timberlake finalized his plea deal related to his drunk driving arrest from June 18 in the Hamptons.
The pop star, who was initially charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), has now agreed to a plea deal that includes a $500 fine and a public service video for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
Focus on Family and Tour
At 43, Timberlake is keen to move forward and concentrate on his family.
A source close to the singer shared that Timberlake is prioritizing his family life and his ongoing Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
The court case has been a distraction, and he is eager to leave it behind to avoid further impact on his loved ones.
Timberlake, who married actress Jessica Biel in 2012, is a father to two children: Silas, nine, and Phineas, four.
Despite avoiding a drunk driving charge, his license was suspended in New York last month.
Legal Outcome and Public Service
According to sources, Timberlake’s wife, Biel, has been supportive and encouraged him to accept the plea deal.
The arrangement allows him to avoid a criminal record, but he still faces a suspended license for six months due to refusing a Breathalyzer test at the time of his arrest.
The plea deal, negotiated by Timberlake’s attorney, Eddie Burke Jr., and the Suffolk County district attorney’s office, will be formally confirmed on Friday at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court.
The exact fine amount will be determined by the judge.
Timberlake’s Tour and Support
Despite the legal troubles, Timberlake has continued with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
Just days after his arrest, he performed in Chicago and addressed the incident with his fans.
He expressed his gratitude for their support and noted that it’s been a challenging time.
Following his hearing on September 13, Timberlake’s next tour date is September 28 in New Jersey.
His tour will continue across the United States and Canada until December 20, with international dates scheduled for next year in countries like Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Norway, and Denmark, concluding in June 2025.
Moving Forward
A separate source mentioned that Timberlake and Biel have moved past the arrest and are focusing on their family and careers.
Biel was even spotted supporting Timberlake at Madison Square Garden, demonstrating their strong partnership.
Overall, Timberlake’s plea deal ensures he avoids a criminal record and will continue to be involved in public service efforts.
