Justin Timberlake once admitted to getting ‘completely plastered,’ doing his ‘fair share of drugs’ when there are ‘no cameras around’
Justin Timberlake once admitted to getting “completely plastered” and doing drugs nearly 18 years before he was arrested for DWI early Tuesday morning.
“I’ve done way too many drugs already. I’ve already inhaled and I’ve already … who knows?” the “SexyBack” singer, 43, told British magazine Observer Music Monthly in 2006, per “Today.”
“I’m just like everyone else, I get completely plastered, I’ve done my fair share of drugs and I’ve been caught places with my pants down,” he added.

“It’s just I make sure there are no cameras around.”
Timberlake’s comments about drugs and alcohol resurfaced after the *NSYNC frontman was arrested for DWI in Sag Harbor, N.Y.
Sources told Page Six that the 10-time Grammy winner was having dinner at the American Hotel “with a bunch of friends” Monday night and “there were cops stationed outside where he was having dinner.”

After Timberlake, who was driving a 2025 gray BMW, left the venue, we’re told the cops “pulled out and they pulled him over for a traffic violation.”
“His friends were telling the police, ‘Let him go, let him go,’” one insider spilled.
During his traffic stop, the pop star was given a field sobriety test and “refused” to take a breathalyzer test.

We’re also told that the cop who pulled Timberlake over “was so young that he didn’t even know” who he was.
“He didn’t recognize him or his name,” our insider said.
A second source added, “Justin said under his breath, ‘This is going to ruin the tour.’ The cop replied, ‘What tour?’ Justin said, ‘The world tour.’”
