Justin Timberlake’s legal team was back in court on Friday (August 9), proving that even pop stars need a legal team that works harder than their hair gel. The 43-year-old musical magician was MIA for this latest courtroom extravaganza at Sag Harbor Village Justice Court—probably too busy making the world dance with his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
In a twist that sounds straight out of a sitcom, the hearing followed Justin’s virtual plea of “Not Guilty” for his June 2024 DWI mishap. Yup, he went all Zoom-meets-the-courtroom style, like an exasperated high schooler logging into class from the Bahamas.
According to the gossip maestros over at People, the prosecution flopped harder than a bad Magic Mike sequel. The judge took them to task for being as prepared as a mime in a windstorm, demanding more evidence and hinting that they should actually try to gather it before showing up next time.
Meanwhile, Justin’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., stood outside with a look that screamed, “Well, that was a snooze fest.” He described the day as “very procedural,” which is lawyer-speak for “nothing to see here.”
Mark your calendars for the next riveting courtroom drama on September 13. Justin won’t need to jet back from Europe—he’ll be touring like a musical nomad while his legal saga plays out from afar.
