Justin Timberlake sues to block release of police video from 2024 drunken driving arrest in New York
Justin Timberlake argues the release of eight hours of bodycam footage from his June 2024 DWI arrest would cause irreparable harm by exposing intimate personal details, his lawyers say.
- On March 2, Timberlake sued in Suffolk County Supreme Court to block release of police footage from his June 18, 2024 arrest, seeking a temporary restraining order.
- After receiving FOIL requests from media including the Associated Press, the Village of Sag Harbor said it planned to release some footage with redactions, and Timberlake's team was notified Sunday.
- The video reportedly includes field sobriety testing and extended custody, with police planning to release roughly eight hours of body-worn camera footage showing Timberlake in an acutely vulnerable state.
- In state court on Monday, Judge Joseph Farneti asked the sides to confer and report back later in the week, after lawyers sought an injunction or private review to block release.
- The petition warns that release would be irreversible and harmful, and Timberlake pleaded guilty in September 2024, receiving 25 to 40 hours of community service and a $500 fine.
