Internet sleuths dug up Justin Timberlake's anti-drinking ad with *NYSNC from the 2001 Super Bowl, with many joking about the irony that he now has a DWI charge.
A commercial featuring Justin Timberlake and the members of *NSYNC promoting responsible drinking has resurfaced in the wake of the singer’s DWI arrest. The commercial, which aired in 2001 during the Super Bowl, was shared on TikTok and other social media platforms. In the spot, a father answers the door to reveal the boy band of Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and JC Chasez standing on his porch.
New video of Timberlake driving shortly before his arrest has also surfaced, showing his BMW SUV on Main Street in Sag Harbor. The video, captured by streetcam footage, was taken in the early hours of Tuesday morning. A black vehicle appears on the screen before the gray SUV with Florida plates that Timberlake was driving comes into the frame.
Authorities say the 43-year-old failed to stop at a stop sign and couldn't stay on the proper side of the road before being pulled over. Timberlake was described as having 'bloodshot and glossy' eyes, a 'strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath' and he was 'unable to divide attention,' according to police documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
On Wednesday, Timberlake's lawyer, Ed Burke, commented on his client's arrest, telling Fox News Digital, 'I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake on these allegations. I will have a lot to say at the appropriate time but am currently awaiting full discovery from the district attorney’s office.' Fox News Digital's Caroline Thayer and Lauryn Overhultz contributed to this report.
