Immediately after Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest last week, it was abundantly clear that driving drunk around Sag Harbor was not any kind of dealbreaker for Jessica Biel. I mean, I doubt many women would leave their husbands over a DWI, but in Biel and Timberlake’s case, the DWI charge is just another in a long line of humiliations Jessica has suffered in her marriage. He cheated on her before they were married, he cheated on her after they married. He made their wedding all about himself. He made her pregnancy all about HIM. He’s been caught being messy and drunk in public many times. Why does Jessica put up with all of this? I have no idea. She always acts like he’s some big prize and I’m always like “girl, really??” Anyway, as we heard last week, Justin swore that he only had one drink before his DWI arrest and Jessica believes him. Now Justin’s crisis management team is pushing narratives about how Jessica thinks the world of Justin, blah blah blah:
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are “doing just fine” weeks after his DWI arrest in Sag Harbor, New York. A source tells ET that “they both know, and understand, that everyone makes mistakes and that mistakes don’t define people. Jess knows that Justin is a great husband and dad, and a wonderful person with the best intentions.”
The source added, “He is putting his energy into wowing his fans with incredible shows and trying to move on. Jess is feeling focused and centered while filming and not letting this situation derail her. Their kids are also at the forefront of their minds as always and they’re protecting their children from any negative media attention.”
“He is putting his energy into wowing his fans with incredible shows.” Thank you for that, Source Who Is Definitely Not On Justin’s Payroll. In case you need to be bashed over the head with Justin’s blatant-as-f–k crisis management, People Magazine also got a call from the same source, who is going by “insider” in this story:
Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest is in the past for him and wife Jessica Biel. About a week after the “SexyBack” singer, 43, was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York for allegedly driving while intoxicated, a source tells PEOPLE the married couple isn’t sweating the ongoing legal matter at the moment — and instead focusing on their personal and professional lives.
“They’re always supportive of each other’s careers,” says the insider, after Biel was recently spotted dancing in the crowd of Timberlake’s Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop at Madison Square Garden in New York City. (She also helped taste-test candy backstage.)
“Jess would never miss a show when she’s able to attend,” adds the source. “She’s excited for him.”
While Timberlake’s on tour, Biel is currently in New York City filming The Better Sister, an upcoming Prime Video series based on a 2019 novel by Alafair Burke that also stars Elizabeth Banks and Corey Stoll. Banks was also in attendance at the Madison Square Garden concert.
“They’ve moved on from the arrest. They have faith in their legal team and continue to focus on work and their family instead,” says the insider, before adding of The Better Sister: “Jess enjoys filming and is excited about the project.”
“They’ve moved on from the arrest.” It just happened LAST WEEK. They’re acting like “we’re turning the page, six months later.” No one has even had a full menstrual cycle yet and Jessica and Justin are announcing that they’re already MOVING ON. The one thing I’ll say is that all of this would have been a much different story if Justin had crashed or hurt someone as he was driving drunk. That’s the thing though, we all know how easily that could have happened, how dangerous it is and how it’s a really big f–king deal that Justin was such a dumbass to get behind the wheel like that. There’s a line between “acting like a DWI is the worst thing ever” and “treating a DWI like it’s nothing” and Justin and his crisis team are absolutely minimizing it.

She’ll stand by her man, as long as he’s earning.
The behavior of an abused woman who will not leave her abuser.
Well, Justin doesn’t enjoy the same level of status and power that he did when they got married. I think she’s locked in the marriage for the entertainment industry connections he provides. I think that’s always been the case with these two. I imagine she also has some low self-esteem issues. I don’t see how someone could stand so much cheating otherwise.
She must have low self esteem because they broke up before they got married briefly. There were rumors (not sure it was confirmed) she dated Gerard Butler briefly while they were costars in a movie in 2011. After that ended she went straight back to Justin and they got engaged shortly after and got married the following year. Break ups aren’t always a bad sign before marriage, sometimes a couple needs to grow and do some learning. But it’s often not a good sign if they were very on and off and I believe Justin and Jessica were.
They haven’t even had the court date yet..to bad for them that the public that he put in danger by driving drunk isn’t “over it” yet. The arrogance of these two is astounding in its delusion that their opinion matters and the laws don’t apply to them.
She’s not leaving him (anytime soon if ever), but it sounds like she has trust issues:
“Jess would never miss a show when she’s able to attend,” adds the source. “She’s excited for him.”
Ah well, they’re over it, so nothing to see here, let’s all just move along and not mention it again. What do you people want, actual contrition? You’re being soooo mean to keep bringing this dinky deal up; it was SO LONG AGO. They’ve gotten over it – why can’t you?
That’s what I was wondering, did I miss the contrition part? Did he acknowledge doing anything wrong and promise to take steps to do better yet before “moving on”? Then, I thought, well perhaps since this just happened and it’s still a pending legal matter, maybe that would undermine his lawyer’s legal strategies. Okay. It’s fine at this point not to talk about it publicly but he should try to look like he’s taking the whole process seriously instead of making it seem the world is bothering him and, he’s trying to heroically protect his children from the media. The whole tenor of the articles above are about making him seem like “the hero” of the incident, with an able assist from wife-Jessica, who is tending the home fires and caring for the kids. Very odd tone.
On so many levels they are both so gross.
Her ability to sweep things under the rug is insane.
J&J have moved on.
Great.
Until the next drinks- or drugs-related incident.
Because moving on ≠ getting help and/or therapy for staying sober.
I think most of us in our lives have gotten behind the wheel when we shouldn’t have.
And if he apologized and was like- that should never have happened, i’m embarrassed, and it will never happen again. This is a really important subject.
I would have said- good for him.
But a couple of things:
1) doxxing the cop- many people have ZERO trust in cops- since they are often caught in lies (thank goodness for body cam and cell cam footage), and this idiot has made us feel terrible for a cop- his pr team basically doxxed the cop and planted stories about how all the wealthy drunk drivers in the Hamptons hate him
2) has taken zero responsibility, has lied about only having one drink- and even managed to throw BRITNEY!!! under the bus- yet again
3) that video of him performing- don’t know if you have ever been around someone doing a substance like cocaine- but his eyes were not the eyes of a sober person- it was ALARMING to watch.
He is just an acre of YUCK. But mostly i’m concerned that before he ODs he will get behind the wheel and get someone killed.
Though in my state refusing a breathalyzer i believe comes with an automatic license suspension of some duration.
How do you “move on” from something that happened a week ago when there is still very much an ongoing legal case for? All I cay to that is, “Sure, Jan.”
I just love how he’s so frequently referred to as “the ‘SexyBack’ singer”, like that song wasn’t a thousand pop culture years ago (and, as Prince said, “sexy never left”, anyway). I don’t care to look it up, but it has to be like, almost 20 years old, no?
As a sidenote, how did JT make Jessica’s pregnancy about him? To be clear, I’m not questioning that he did did it, because I know he’s awful, I just want to know WHAT he did. I remember the obnoxious wedding photos, but nothing surrounding her pregnancy!
Not to mention the fact that “SexyBack” was a horrible song. It truly sucks.
And even back then, the try hard, boy-man was the opposite of sexy. Now, his inner ick is leeching out of every pic.
@ Miranda
I had to look back at the archives, but he cropped the op part of Jessica out of all the pictures he posted on instagram and just left himself and pregnant stomach in them. Until he got the memo that it was not a good look.
He really dose not like her.
Damn, that’s a huge one-up on the obnoxious wedding photos. Between those two things and his fooling around with other women, I cannot imagine why she would stay with him. Especially now that he’s not only increasingly irrelevant, but also shows signs of serious substance abuse issues.
He put other people’s lives in danger! And they are acting like this is nothing. They haven’t even gone to court yet. Has this been settled? Has he gotten special celebrity treatment? With this attitude he better get the book thrown at him or the public will rip into the judge on his case.
Oh the entitled privileges wrapped up in “moving on”. Must be nice. Imma move on too. If anyone’s looking, I’ll be with my headphones and Janet Jackson.
I’m sure they have. There doesn’t seem to be a lot introspection with these two.
Jessica biel has ZERO self esteem. She could do so much better than this douchbag. So sad.
