Our favourite pop prince, Justin Timberlake, is in hot water after DWI arrest amid his ongoing world tour. The arrest has sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether the incident was a genuine case of intoxication. But, someone just dug up concert footage from Vegas, filmed just weeks before the arrest. The video shows him belting out tunes, but eagle-eyed fans can’t help but notice what appear to be bloodshot eyes.

Earlier, the singer spent a night in custody after he refused a breathalyzer and failed a sobriety test when police pulled his car over, suspecting him of drunk driving. Now, a video from his Las Vegas show has emerged amid the controversy. Timberlake is onstage, belting out hits and even goes down the stairs to interact with fans.
Fan-captured footage, close enough to decipher his exact condition, has sparked concern. The internet noticed something strange — his eyes appear bloodshot. Now everyone is speculating: was something amiss with him back in May, or did he ‘have something running in his system,’ as claimed by netizens?”

Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest
Earlier, following his arrest, a mugshot showed Justin Timberlake with red, glassy eyes suspected of violating a stop sign and swerving out of his lane in the Hamptons on a Tuesday morning. The official arrest record supported these claims. The 43-year-old, who was enjoying a night out at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, Long Island, admitted to having only one martini before deciding to drive. Yet, a bystander told The Post that Timberlake was “out of it” to the point where he accidentally took another man’s drink from a table and drank it while he was away in the restroom.
