Red, bulging eyes, haggard face: Justin Timberlake fans worried about video of his concert taken shortly before the singer's arrest
Justin Timberlake has been making headlines ever since he was arrested for drunk driving. Now the public's attention is back on the singer, this time because of a video of his concert that was filmed shortly before his arrest.
In a video of Justin performing in Las Vegas that suddenly went viral, the singer can be seen with a haggard face and red, bulging eyes. Many Internet users thought that Timberlake looked at least strange, and assumed that he either went on stage drunk or was on drugs that day. “Those eyes… Dude either hasn’t slept in a week or is using again,” wrote one Internet user.
Some commentators joked that the video was more likely to “ruin Justin’s tour” than his arrest. Recall that Justin was arrested after a party at a hotel. The singer ran a stop sign and tried to hide from the police who noticed it, but was eventually pulled over. The police conducted a sobriety test, after which Timberlake was detained. During his arrest, Timberlake voiced his concern that the situation could “ruin his tour.”
The scandal caused a stir online. Information from insiders began to appear in the media that Justin had long had problems with alcohol. In addition, Timberlake began to be reminded of other scandals around his name, especially those related to his high-profile breakup with Britney Spears.
