Justin Timberlake’s lawyer has stated that they will “vigorously” defend the pop star against false drug-use claims that have become viral in the wake of his arrest for driving under the influence. According to a report in the New York Post, Timberlake was arrested in Long Island, New York, on June 18. The Grammy Award winner allegedly claimed to have had just one martini before he drove his car home on the evening of his arrest.
Despite the fact that Timberlake is innocent until proven guilty, a satirical Twitter account using the username @PooCrave was still able to fool fans into believing that the pop star was taking drugs at the time of his arrest. The tweets made allegations that Timberlake had traces of cocaine, ecstasy, poppers, and the medication Truvada in his bloodstream. Thousands of Twitter users shared these claims, leading to millions of views in a matter of hours.
Timberlake’s lawyer, Ed Burke, has strongly refuted these drug-use allegations. According to Burke, the charge of driving under the influence was a single count because Timberlake had refused a breathalyzer test. He also stated that Timberlake was charged with two other court violations, namely running a stop sign and not traveling in the correct lane of traffic.
Despite this setback, Timberlake is continuing with his latest tour, which is due to take him to venues across the United States. He has recently released his sixth album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” a work that has received lukewarm reviews. While Timberlake is undoubtedly a less beloved pop superstar than he was years ago, he still retains a significant following of dedicated fans who are eagerly awaiting his latest tour dates.
Despite Timberlake’s current legal troubles, his fans continue to provide him with plenty of support. Many have taken to social media to post words of encouragement and to express their belief in his innocence. With his lawyer pledging to fight these allegations strenuously, it’s clear that Timberlake is not going down without a fight. There’s still a long way to go before this story reaches its conclusion, but for the time being, it seems that the pop star still has plenty of support from his loyal fanbase
