"I Know Sometimes I'm Hard to Love." Justin Timberlake Returns to Stage After DUI Arrest, Speaks Out About Scandal

Justin Timberlake took to the stage for the first time since his drunk driving arrest in New York. During his performance in Chicago on June 21, the artist commented on the scandal right from the stage.

Justin said he had a “rough week” and thanked his fans for continuing to support him through both the good times and the hard times. “You’re here, I’m here, and nothing’s gonna change that. I know sometimes I’m hard to love, but you never stop loving me, and I love you back,” the musician said.

Let us recall that Justin was arrested after a party at a hotel. The singer drove through a stop sign and tried to hide from the police officers who noticed this, but he was eventually stopped. The police conducted a sobriety test, based on the results of which Timberlake was detained. The scandal caused a great stir on the Internet. Information from insiders began to appear in the media that Justin had long had problems with alcohol. In addition, Internet users began to remind Timberlake of other scandals around his name, especially those related to his high-profile breakup with Britney Spears.

It should be noted that during his arrest, according to Page Six, Timberlake voiced his concern that the current situation could adversely affect his tour, which began in late April. However, none of his concerts have been cancelled yet. An insider told the publication that Justin plans to continue promoting his new album Everything I Thought It Was.
