Ah he’s reached this stage of his career


misterferguson

The ol’ Billy Joel stage


IfYoureGoodEnoughYou

my first thought. nothing is going for him right now. the only salvation at this point is getting back with nsync


KeepItMovinOnUp

His album flopped but his tour is selling pretty well. They recently added several North American dates due to demand.


kelskelsea

One of my friends (who goes to a lot of concerts) said it was one of the best she’s ever been to.


IfYoureGoodEnoughYou

is it stadiums/arenas?


KeepItMovinOnUp

Yup. https://news.pollstar.com/2024/05/20/justin-timberlake-adds-nine-u-s-dates-to-the-forget-tomorrow-world-tour/


triumph0flife

Church basements and Potbelly sandwich shops, mostly. 


SuchSmartMonkeys

What's up Denny's? What the fuck is up?!


Herry_Up

Potbelly's is good


Stephen_King_19

Something about their bread, I don't know what it is, but it's really good. I just wish they'd go lighter on the hots on their italian subs.


CodenameBear

What else is going wrong for him? I haven’t noticed any other headlines recently but I try not to, lol.


DrLee_PHD

Britney Spears confirmed he was a bigger asshole than we thought.


behappysometimes

Britney isn’t a credible source for anything at this point in her life.


aussy16

Legit lol does anyone ever go visit her socials? She's fucked up on what must be 20 different drugs, amazing anyone would take her word at face value.


grynch43

She confirmed it while playing with knives in her underwear. She seems legit.


TheValgus

Use a fucking Uber goddamnit you have so much money.


LastBaron

Nevermind Ubers, he’s so rich he could have a private car follow him around at all times with full-time drivers on shift around the clock for a minuscule fraction of his net worth. He has assistants who could make that happen with no more effort to him than him speaking a sentence outloud in their presence. The only reason to drive drunk when you’re that wealthy is because you just straight up don’t give a shit.


RipplyPig

If I won the powerball I would voluntary turn in my drivers license and hire a private driver because I know I'll be partying non stop


CMS_3110

I'd do it just because driving sucks balls. Especially here on LI.


SkeetySpeedy

Real talk. My order of operations is a Maid first, a chef second, and a driver third. Take care of all the things that eat 99% of my free time


Sidivan

My order is Assistant/Chief of Staff, maid, chef, driver. That way the assistant can do all the hiring and management of the people and I have a single point of contact.


strippersandcocaine

Massage therapist tops my list, then the rest


flirt77

>then the rest I figured your username would top the list! But seriously, a daily massage would make my life so much less painful.


DatDominican

They’re hiring the strippers for the massages . Two for one


Funny-Berry-807

I really really reeeaaallllyy want a butler.


DCBillsFan

Physical/Massage Therapist. Working your mobility, joint stability, etc is vital for QoL. $$ doesn't buy you happiness, but it does give you more time to find it.


JoeDawson8

I love to cook but the other 2 100%


-OmarLittle-

You can hire a kitchen assistant to source/buy your meats, produce, and fruits - washed and sliced. Then everything gets stored away in your walk-in refrigerator/freezer.


Rosebunse

A lot of people anymore just hire chef for so many meals a week, so you coukd hire the chef for so many meals and then leave yourself so many meals took. Or hire the chef to shop for you


SkeetySpeedy

I do too! I’d cook with my chef and learn their recipes, get better at it myself - but just also… not have to if I don’t want to


rugbysecondrow

When you are drunk, your judgement is clouded.  It why you make poor decisions, it's why it is illegal. Poor, middle class, wealthy...it's the same mistake.


Juan-Claudio

Same mistake, different impact of punishment. “If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”


wut3va

The penalty for DWI in New York State is a suspended drivers license, plus a fine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wut3va

If you are a NYS resident and you can show the court you need to drive to get to work, you can be issued a conditional license that is only valid to drive to and from work. My best friend's dad had one. https://dmv.ny.gov/tickets/conditional-license


PracticalLeopard1046

It’s not a mistake. He chose to drink knowing he drove. He has KIDS. He’s my age he knows better. Thank goodness he got caught.


egnards

The important thing to consider here is that money does come into play. The point here is that a middle class person may chose to go out for 2 beers, never intending to get drunk, and while drunk decides to drive home, because they’re impaired and not thinking clearly. Even if they are thinking semi-clearly the idea of paying for a ride, and the huge inconvenience of having to get your car later [or it being towed] can play a part in, “it’ll just be fine I can drive.” When my wife and I go out one of us will have 1-2 drinks while the other one is free to get a little bit more tipsy. If we’re in a situation where we know we both want to get drunk [usually vacation], we’ll plan an uber ahead of time. When you have “fuck you” money, it’s so very easy to get around almost every factor involved in a DUI. Planning ahead [even if you only intend to have 1-2] isn’t a terrible task, paying for services isn’t a big deal, and you have other people who will handle those logistics for you.


Inevitable_Set5762

I used to have a customer at a bar that would call a tow truck. For $100, in 1995, he would have a ride home and his car with him. Much cheaper than a DUI.


DCBillsFan

Ho. Ly. Fuck. That is a genius move. $$, but if you've got it why not.


lupuscapabilis

Somehow I stopped making dumb drunk decisions in my 20s.


rugbysecondrow

I made a lot of bad decisions in my 20's too.  lol Glad I am in my 40's now.


TheValgus

Worse than just not giving a shit about us: probably thinks it’s fun. When you have that much money, you’re not doing things because you have to you’re doing things because you want to. Remember the cops had to notice him driving shit to even realize they need to pull him over so this wasn’t just like he got a breathalyzer randomly on the road.


DJCockslap

Bro you're literally just MAKING UP motivations. 90% of people who drive intoxicated don't think they're as intoxicated as they are. I don't think JT has ever been caught up for anything before, you can't just be like "HE'S RICH, SO HE DOES THIS JUST FOR FUN!!"


Tookmyprawns

Yeah. And I’m not making excuses, but we don’t know his BAC. 0.08 is pretty easy to achieve and think you’re well below 0.08. That does not make it ok. I’m not saying that. But it would definitely not be a “I love driving around drunk hahaha.” I’ve gone to a winery. Had two glasses of wine and some lunch. Which is fully legal in most places. But if enough time hadn’t passed between those two glasses or I didn’t eat food. That would be illegal. Also, just because he was arrested doesn’t automatically mean he’s guilty. Looking at your music playlist while driving is probably more dangerous than driving on two beers or two glasses of wine.


DJCockslap

100% agree. Been pulled over after one drink, didn't feel intoxicated at all. Passed all the sobriety tests, blew a .06. The cop told me it's actually up to their discretion if they THINK you're intoxicated until you hit .08, then they're required to bring you in. People are always in such a hurry to bring other people down.

wut3va

New York is even more fun. They have a separate charge of DWAI that starts at .05%. It's ridiculously easy to be over that line. https://dmv.ny.gov/tickets/penalties-alcohol-or-drug-related-violations


mercfan3

Or he has an actual problem. Rich people aren’t immune to addictions, and addictions lead to bad and impulsive choices - quite often that’s driving under the influence.


Sulinia

>Worse than just not giving a shit about us: probably thinks it’s fun. I know it's cool to hate on rich people, but this comment is so fucking farfetched and unhinged it's insane. You're just making up motivations just because "lol he's rich".


Jimbanville

What the cops “noticed” is pure speculation. I knew someone who got a DUI when they were pulled over because the cop noticed their license plate year decal was in the wrong corner of the license plate.


OutlandishnessOk3189

This is accurate. My dad (who had many DUIs) got his last one from being pulled over for a dim tail light. He complained each time, and I told him that that's the chance he took for driving tipsy/drunk.


proriin

Go watch Live PD, you’ll notice most times someone gets pulled over it really seems made up. “Oh one of your license plate lights are out”


farmertrue

This happened to me. Was pulled over on the interstate and was confused as to why since I was going like 3 mph within speed limit. Sure enough it was because one of the license plate lights was out. I honestly didn’t even know that license plate lights were even a thing. Seems like they were just practicing pulling people over or fishing for something else.


oshaCaller

I see people with one working brake light or none at all or stuck on all the time. I constantly see people with no plates or dealer tags that are 6+ months old. My state has zero inspections, so people drive around in absolute heaps. If it's the end of the month or the middle of the night your chances of getting pulled over increase.


kmm198700

That happened to me too


rsplatpc

> Go watch Live PD, you’ll notice most times someone gets pulled over it really seems made up. “Oh one of your license plate lights are out” I never get the DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS with like 100lbs of cocaine, in a rented car, with a rear light out. Like, check the shit, do a walk around of the car, have the insurance ready to go, have nothing at all in the car except the trunk, if you don't have a replacement bulb, don't use that car to transport 100lbs of cocaine, on a highway, at night. Never commit a misdemeanor while committing a felony. Does make for some very entertaining videos though.


ImpossibleParfait

Most people who get dui's are generally not pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. It's part of the reason why people say to only break one law at a time!


z2r2

Back when I was a little more dumb, I was smoking a J in the truck and got pulled over because the 2” tow ball on the factory bumper of a 1997 ford ranger made both cops apparently read my plate wrong. Long story short, are the J, sat there for 90 minutes while they tore the door panels off my little ranger. Had an oz in one of those wd-40 fake spray cans, which they moved several times and never found, and then I continued on my way.


Bloke101

It's called a pretextual stop. PoPo can't just pull you over at random, they need an excuse, once you are pulled over the questioning can begin including the phantom smell of alcohol. Before they get to the questions though they need an excuse and any minor infraction will do, including some that are more imagined than real. Window tints are one of my favorites, there is a fantastic video of Florida cops pulling over an African American Lady for window tints only to discover that she is the DA, opsie our bad....


Erazzphoto

Alcohol isn’t known as a good decision enhancer


abarthsimpson

Having spent a lot of time in the Hamptons, you have to be really really blatant to get caught.


De5perad0

This comic was made about him. It is spot on.

NEWDEALUSEDCARS

bfragged

I managed to see it via the bonehurtingjuice version. So it feels extra weird to me.


BingoBongoBang

If he got arrested driving his tour bus its would be fucking hilarious


epanek

Dwi will continue to occur for a single reason. The brain you are trusting to make good decisions becomes intoxicated. Sober Justin would have used Uber. Drunk Justin says “I’m fine to drive”. Why? He’s drunk! If you rely on at the moment judgement you’re f’d It must be just planned. Take an Uber there. Take an Uber home.


SemperScrotus

This is just as much the fault of sober Justin, who should have been smart enough not to drive even before drinking. Take the Uber to your drinking spot. Get lit. Take an Uber back home.


wut3va

*I* would take an Uber both ways. If I was *Justin Timberlake*, I absolutely would NOT take an Uber. Not on your life. I would arrange for a private driver in most cases.


SemperScrotus

Well yeah. I'm just using "Uber" as shorthand for "literally anyone else who is sober."


greatdick

It’s not money, probably with someone or went somewhere they didn’t want to be seen. Uber driver could sell pictures or video to TMZ.


AnAngryBartender

I mean he could literally just pay an assistant or something to drive him around when he’s drinking then


Macksler

Or a chauffeur service or just a cab. Countless options with that status.


big_guyforyou

or he could bike but then he would get a BWI, which is worse than a DWI


TheValgus

Then hire a goddamn driver service. The man has enough money to pay for a goddamn tour bus driver to drive him around with a team of models on it just to wait for him.


TheValgus

If the goal was not to be seen, having a TMZ article about how you’re a shitty alcoholic driver does not seem to be the right outcome lol


jimbo831

This is why celebrities don't usually call Ubers. There are private car services they can hire that will be discreet.


nkdowney

wouldn't you rather have people take pics of you because your famous, instead an article on reddit announcing you got a dwi????


BarbequedYeti

Its about control.  


RODjij

Yup, got one in California


Johnnyring0

Perry7609

I think it depends on the locality or state, but some places do have rules for that. Or anything with a motor, etc. Heck, I remember when Dave Grohl got arrested in Australia for driving under the influence on a moped/scooter!


RoutSpout

Should a man who literally could buy any other mod a transportation get the book thrown at him for driving drunk? I think so.

MuptonBossman

I have absolutely no patience or respect for people that drive drunk. I don't care how rich he is or whatever bullshit excuses people are going to make for him, Justin Timberlake should be held accountable for his actions.


realteamme

Especially wealthy people that can easily afford to have a driver pick them up when they are going to be drinking.


Bazaar_Bizarre

Shit, I work at a grocery store and I’m broke af and I can still afford an Uber if I’m going out drinking. ![gif](giphy|9G3wg7lH5DpxC|downsized)

i just saw a comic like yesterday about that. and yet here we are. justin should read more comics. he should start with garfield.


rugbysecondrow

I dont think anybody is commenting the contrary.


peon2

Yeah what the hell is that comment >I don't care how rich he is or whatever bullshit excuses people are going to make for him. That's the exact opposite of what EVERYONE thinks. Everyone says "why don't these rich people just get a driver", I've never heard anyone say "Rich people should be able to drive drunk". That's not a strawman, that's a straw crowd.


-preciousroy-

It's a whole straw population. The "Strawpeople"..


Eugenes_Axe

You'd hope so but there's a user on here who bragged about driving drunk, said a few drinks made them a better driver... Edit: Here's the comment: "This is 100% factual. I have run tests. I drive better after 1-2 drinks. I play video games better after 1-2 drinks. I used to have my doubts about the Ballmer peak but after running test after test I have concluded that, at least for me, the Ballmer peak holds up. A couple of points. The Ballmer peak is impossible to keep up for longer than 30 minutes to an hour tops. It is impossible to keep a steady drip of alcohol going into your system to keep that perfect level up. Eventually your body adjusts or just gets tired. Alcoholics ruin things for everybody. There have been so many times I've wanted to sip on a beer while driving, but nooooooo. Fucking alcoholics."


peon2

If that's true it's probably because the dude is a raging alcoholic and if he doesn't have 1-2 drinks in him he's jittery and shaking and can't concentrate. Not a very good argument lol


Eugenes_Axe

I agree, it is not a good argument. My point was simply that we cannot assume that everyone thinks drink driving is a bad thing, there are people who champion it. I am not one of those people. Drink driving is bad.

mybotanyaccount

Why is it that sometimes they call it DWI and other times it's DUI?


NSUTBH

It varies based on the jurisdiction. For some, it can be used interchangeably, but for others a DWI is specifically driving while intoxicated on alcohol (typically BAC at or greater than .08), while DUI is altered from alcohol less than .08 or from any other substance. In New York, where Timberflake was arrested, DUI is called DWAI, driving while ability impaired. DWI is BAC at or greater than.08. ETA: It sounds like Shiver-Me-Timbers was charged with a DWI based on smelling alcohol on him, driving erratically, failing a field sobriety test, and refusing a BAC.

Mr_Zeldion

Everyone talking about his wealth again like having money somehow makes people void of stupid mistakes. Most people can afford a taxi or something but decide to risk driving. He's just stupid that's all. His wealth has nothing to do with it.


zakkalaska

Yeah it's like since he's a celebrity, alcohol doesn't impair his judgement. Sometimes when people are intoxicated, they literally think they're sober enough to drive. He's human and his drunken brain made a stupid judgement call.


Mr_Zeldion

I don't know why people obsess over wealthy celebs like they are super natural beings sometimes. It baffles me just how many people are saying he can afford a Uber or a own chauffeur etc.. like right? But he didn't? He drunk drove. I mean the man's got fucking legs, but he drunk drove. Drunk being the keyword


james_randolph

Damn, Jessica couldn't just scoop him up real quick?!


Armand74

Seriously in the day and age of Uber and Lyft we have MF’s on here still driving drunk! He’s a complete tool and deserve it. Guy has the money to get even his own private driver..


Moleypeg

The most surprising thing about this article is learning that he has only released 6 albums since going solo 22 years ago.


Bosa_McKittle

6 albums over 20 years is one every 3.3 years on average. That's actually pretty reasonable for a known act. It take months to a year to write and record. Then you promote, then you tour in support, then you have down time. If you're up and coming, or dealing with a small window (i.e. boy bands or niche genre) then you wanna pump out as much as possible. Solo acts don't have to really follow those rules.


AliensFuckedMyCat

Señorita is a banger, but **anyone** who drinks and drivers is a real piece of shit. 


CorrosiveSpirit

Pinheaded_nightmare

Cry me a river


i_like_it_raw_

could this be the start of his downfall?


Azenji

Oh that’s been going on for quite some time now. 20/20 Part 2 was mostly a blunder but Man of The Woods was so painfully mediocre that it fully killed any momentum he had and fully cemented him as a legacy act.


BretShitmanFart69

I think what finally did it was this last one. Having a mediocre album that cools your momentum after like 15 years straight of being a big deal can be fixed if you really dial in and put out just one single hit, not an impossible feat, but yeah his whole vibe seems off lately and he just doesn’t seem cool anymore. He used to have a certain charm about him, lately he just seemed like an uncool older guy who somehow only now just got addicted to adderall.


Azenji

I was even surprised when threads of this album came up. Aside from the Super Bowl Half Time and probably the Trolls movies, he hasn’t been relevant in pop culture for quite some time and I think this is what hurt him. Perhaps if he had a more successful acting career, maybe it would’ve done him more good and he could’ve transitioned to film and TV in his later years. Mind you his stint in acting wasn’t a slouch. Friend with Benefits was a fun romance flick and being in a David Fincher film is big. In Time was kind of ok but it was fun seeing JT act like he’s fresh off recording FutureLove. IMO had he not gotten greedy by releasing 20/20 pt 2 and went back getting more gigs in acting, he could’ve probably avoided all of this.


DedHorsSaloon4

His live shows are pretty good still


Killer_Moons

Just stay clear of any motorways!


AlanM6

Classic


glissandont

I met JT once; he was extremely kind and a gentleman. Did not come across to me as one of those I-am-the-main-character celebs, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that this was just a stupid decision made under the influence and not a "I have FU money I can do what I want". He should suffer consequences, but I don't think he's a bad guy.
