Justin Timberlake was arrested on June 18, and was arraigned later that day at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on Long Island, NY.
Justin Timberlake is ready to face the music a little over a month after his arrest for allegedly driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons.
A source tells ET, “Justin is prepared to face whatever consequences he needs to. He is hoping to learn from this experience and put it behind him. Jess is extremely supportive and helping him navigate everything.”
The source adds, “Justin is still putting his energy into his family and focus on his tour. He is ready to move forward in a positive way and pouring himself into his work commitments and even creating new music.”
The arrest came just after the singer celebrated Father’s Day, with wife Jessica Biel exalting him as “the rock” of the family on which they lean on in a post dedicated to him. The actress was spotted filming scenes some two and a half hours south of the Hamptons in New York City’s Central Park on June 17, just prior to Timberlake’s arrest.
ET is breaking down the events that led up to his arrest and the ensuing fallout.
Justin Timberlake celebrates Father’s Day
Both Timberlake and Biel took to social media to celebrate the holiday. The “SexyBack” singer posted two photos of his and Biel’s children — sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 3.
In his caption, Timberlake called them his “2 greatest gifts.”
“I learn more about myself everyday just because you both chose me to be your Daddy,” he added, in part. “I will always be there for you through your peaks and valleys…. to lift you up and show you how high you can take this life and to pick you up when you fall.”
Biel’s carousel post included photos of Timberlake horsing around with the kids. In her caption, she referred to him as “THE ROCK. The rock we climb on, we lean against. The rock that shades us from the sun.”
Following his arrest, comments on both posts have been limited.
Justin Timberlake hangs out with friends at a boutique hotel
According to TMZ, Timberlake was hanging out with friends on the night of Monday, June 17 at The American Hotel, a boutique establishment that also offers a 75-foot yacht for rent.
TMZ also reported, citing sources, that Timberlake’s friends — the ones he had been hanging out with at the hotel — raced to the scene and tried convincing cops to give him a break, to no avail. It should be noted that the police report, later obtained by ET, made no mention of this claim.
A source later told ET, “Justin was with his friends [Monday] night at American Hotel and really enjoying himself. He seemed a little tipsy and drunk, but not in a belligerent way. When he left and got in his car, he revved his engine a few times.”
Another source tells ET, “Justin and his party arrived after 10 p.m. and were full of energy. He was with a group of around 6-7 people including men, women and some young adults.There wasn’t anyone in the dining room, but there were a few people still drinking at the bar. It was surprising to see them show up so late because the restaurant was pretty much closed by the time they got there.”

Meanwhile, Biel was working and filming scenes for her new Prime Video series, The Better Sister. ET obtained photos of the 42-year-old actress in medieval costume on the set in Central Park. She wore a white top, blue bodice and tan skirt as she shot scenes for the thriller alongside co-stars Corey Stoll and Elizabeth Banks.
Between takes, the 7th Heaven star was seen carrying a script and sipping a drink while wearing more casual clothes.
The Better Sister follows “Chloe (Biel), who moves through the world with her handsome lawyer husband, Adam, and teenage son Ethan by her side while her estranged sister, Nicky (Banks), hustles to make ends meet while trying to stay clean,” per the series’ description. “When Adam is brutally murdered, the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, laying bare long-buried secrets.
