Justin Timberlake Updates Fans on Tour Following Resolution of DWI Case
He stated, “It’s too much pressure for me.”
Timberlake chuckled at the request, asking, “Do you want to not come to the show?”
“I want to come,” Fallon insisted before pretending to get emotional and adding, “it’s just that I have feelings and I need you to respect that.”
Amidst his world tour, the “Cry Me a River” singer has been dealing with the legal aftermath of his June 18 arrest for driving while intoxicated. On Sept. 13, he pleaded guilty to a noncriminal traffic violation of driving while impaired, according to NBC News. He has agreed to pay a minimal fine and complete 25 to 40 hours of community service.
“As you may know, I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself,” he said in a press conference at the time. “And this was not that. I found myself in a position where I could have made a different decision, but I’ve had some time to reflect on that.”
“This is a mistake that I made,” he added, “but I hope whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake, I know that I certainly have.”
