Breaking News: Justin Timberlake Looks Stoic During DWI Court Hearing as Judge Revokes Driving Privileges in New York
The singer, 43, appeared in court virtually from Antwerp, Belgium on Friday, Aug. 2, pleading not guilty to a revised misdemeanor charge of driving drunk, PEOPLE confirms.
Timberlake, wearing a black collared shirt, listened closely as Sag Harbor Village Justice Carl Irace, replying “yes” twice to questions asked of him.
Irace suspended the singer’s driving privileges in the state of New York, though the length of the revocation is unclear.
Following the hearing, Timberlake’s lawyer Edward Burke Jr. told reporters the suspension is “standard with every DUI.”
Irace also expressed his displeasure with Burke’s statement to the press following the July 26 hearing, urging him to “be more mindful when giving comments” and admonishing Burke that his words “come off as an attempt to poison the case before it even begins.”
Irace threatened to implement a gag order or request Timberlake appear in person, forcing a return from Europe and his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, if the comments continued.
