No wonder Justin Timberlake wanted to block the release of bodycam footage from his June 2024 DWI stop in Sag Harbor, N.Y. Made public on March 20, the clip shared by TMZ is plenty embarrassing. For starters, the cops who stopped J.T. after he ran a stop sign failed to recognize the pop star. “I’m on a world tour,” he explains, eventually adding, “Umm… a world tour… I’m Justin Timberlake?”

It gets worse as the 45-year-old attempts tasks like walking heel-to-toe in a straight line in a field sobriety test, nearly pitching over. “These are, like, really hard tests,” he quips. (He ultimately took a plea deal and got the DWI charge lowered to a traffic violation.) Later at the police station he jokingly objects to being labeled “white,” then chuckles, “Just kidding.”

Not laughing: the former boy bander’s wife of 13 years, Jessica Biel. A source tells Star the 44-year-old is growing tired of her husband’s “self-obsessed and childish” behavior. “He’s totally consumed by what he says is the injustice of it all and Jessica only has so much bandwidth for his moaning.”

And it’s not just the bodycam footage making the “Cry Me a River” singer subject to ridicule. The insider says Justin is also freaking out about ex-girlfriend Britney Spears’ upcoming biopic. Based on her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, the film could include such bombshells from the book as the “couple of times” he cheated on her during their relationship and when he urged her to get an abortion, saying they were “too young” to have kids, according to Cosmopolitan. “Justin’s annoyed with being painted as the villain,” says the insider. “He’s seething about his name being dragged through the muck in every multiplex!”
