Justin Timberlake confronts his fans who challenge him to a car race

Justin Timberlake He caused a stir online after a viral clip showed him telling excited fans who were driving alongside him.

Internet users had mixed reactions to the clip. Some said the singer was being “mean”, while others suggested the fans were being provocative in their approach.

This incident comes after Justin Timberlake got into trouble with the law last year and was arrested for drunk driving.

Timberlake went viral on the internet after a video shared on X (formerly Twitter) showed him blowing up a group of people while driving down the road in his car.

While it’s unclear, it appears that the individuals were fans who were excited to see him and tried to engage him in conversation.

In the clip, fans were driving by Timberlake when they shouted to themselves, “It’s Justin Timberlake.”

The camera then panned to a dark gray car with tinted windows, prompting fans to tell the driver to “roll down the window.”

When the window finally rolled down, it showed an angry Timberlake behind the wheel. He clearly wasn’t having it with fans, as he repeatedly asked: “Do you want something?”

“Let’s race,” they replied several times before the singer told them, “Get out of here, you fucking kids.”

Many fans took to the comments section to share their reactions to the video, which the poster captioned: “Why is Justin Timberlake so mean (crying emoji)???”

“Celebrities wouldn’t have their platform without fans,” one person wrote. “Now they know not to mess with him behind the wheel when he just got arrested for a DUI not too long ago,” another joked.

However, many users supported the singer and made it clear that he was not being “mean.”

One fan said: “They were probably following him and were being very rude. The way they talk to him is the same way the paparazzi talk too. I mean I won’t judge because you don’t have the full footage, so…”

Another user wrote: “(I don’t know) honestly, it seemed like they provoked him while he was doing his own thing. I don’t think he was necessarily mean – maybe he was angry after being yelled at by a group of people.” …”

“It’s one thing if they wanted a picture or said they liked his work but they just bothered him by asking to race and record it (crying emoji). While driving over it,” one fan commented.

This comes seven months after Timberlake ran into trouble with the law and was arrested for drunk driving after a night out with friends in the Hamptons in Sag Harbor, New York.

The “Bye Bye Bye” singer ran a stop sign and swerved, forcing cops to pull him over.

A police report said he appeared to have “glassy eyes” and smelled strongly of alcohol. He also performed poorly on a sobriety test and refused to take a breathalyzer test.

Timberlake’s New York driver’s license and privileges have been suspended for a year, so his viral interaction with fans is unlikely to happen in the Big Apple.

After months of court hearings, he entered into a plea deal in which he agreed to perform 25-40 hours of community service, as well as make a public service announcement about the dangers of driving while under the influence.

A source said at the time People magazine that he entered the plea deal to put the legal drama behind him and “move on,” with his family and touring being his priorities.

“He’s a family man, that’s his focus. He took the plea deal because he wants to move on,” the source said. “The court case was a distraction. He doesn’t want his family to be affected by it.”

Timberlake’s run-in with the law appears to have affected his relationship with his wife, Jessica Biel. However, a source said US Weekly They are back on solid ground and are “rebuilding trust” in their marriage.

“Jessica and Justin are spending more time together and are happier and more relaxed,” the source said, noting that his arrest has tested their marriage.

“Justin has taken time to reevaluate his priorities,” the insider continued. “He doesn’t go out much and stays more with Jessica and the kids.”

The Palmer actor is said to be “finding new ways to connect” with his loved ones, with Bale said to be supportive but holds him accountable.

“Jessica shows patience and empathy while also maintaining consistent expectations of him,” the source explained, adding that the couple “prioritizes their strength as a family.”
