Justin Timberlake Shares First Social Media Post Since Arrest, Travis Kelce Comments

Justin Timberlake Shares First Social Media Post Since Arrest, Travis Kelce Comments

Justin Timberlake is still focused on the tour… the world tour. The 43-year-old "Cry Me a River" singer debuted his new Forget Tomorrow World Tour merch in a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday. 

This marked Timberlake's first social media post since his arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, and DWI charge earlier this month. 

"Had to do it 👀 @nyknicks," Timberlake captioned the clip of himself showing off the new royal blue-and-orange T-shirt at Madison Square Garden, where the New York Knicks play their home games. "This is so important right now."

"Got y'all's Knicks' colors. We had to do it," Timberlake sings to the camera. 

Travis Kelce, a friend and self-proclaimed "huge fan" of Timberlake's, commented on the post, writing, "🔥🔥🔥🔥 NEEED THAT ONE!!"

Kelce, who saw Timberlake perform in Los Angeles in March, made headlines earlier this year when he told reporters that the "Mirrors" singer was the "most famous" person he had in his phone, aside from his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. However, Kelce joked that there was "not a chance" Timberlake would pick up the phone if he called.

Timberlake's first concert at MSG took place on Tuesday, and the NSYNC member will return to the venue on Wednesday before heading to Boston, Massachusetts. 

His wife, Jessica Biel, attended Tuesday's show with one of his sons, and was spotted in the crowd, jamming out to her husband's hit, "Suit & Tie." Director Martin Scorsese was also in the audience and got a special shoutout from Timberlake. 

"It's a special night in the greatest city in the world," Timberlake said, per an eyewitness. "So many family and friends here... and the GOAT, Martin Scorsese."

It's been a tough few weeks for Timberlake, who was arrested on June 18 in Long Island, New York, on charges of driving while intoxicated. 

A spokesperson for the Sag Harbor Police Department told ET that cops observed Timberlake on June 18 at approximately 12:37 a.m. driving a 2025 gray BMW southbound on Madison Street. Authorities said he failed to stop at a stop sign and failed to stay in his lane.

"A traffic stop was initiated by a Police Officer from the Sag Harbor Village Police Department and upon investigation it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition," police stated. "Upon contact with [Timberlake] it was ascertained that [he] was operating said vehicle in intoxicated conditions, in that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests."

Timberlake told police he had "one martini" before getting behind the wheel, which was later corroborated by the bartender who served him. 

"Justin is feeling remorseful, ashamed, and humiliated, but also accountable," a source told ET following Timberlake's arrest.

According to the source, Timberlake "does not believe he needs help when it comes to alcohol," instead viewing the incident as a "major lapse of judgement."
