Britney Spears recently took to Instagram to post a cryptic snap of her fruity cocktail, seemingly in response to her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake’s alleged drunk driving bust. Timberlake, 43, was pulled over after leaving a hotel in Sag Harbor, LI, in his gray BMW just after midnight. He had allegedly blown through a stop sign and swerved out of his lane before being stopped by officers. Despite telling them he only had one martini, Timberlake refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
Spears, who dated Timberlake from 1999 to 2002, didn’t add any further details to her mysterious post. The former couple, who were both stars on the “All New Mickey Mouse Club,” had a complicated relationship with accusations of cheating on both sides. Timberlake even released a hit song, “Cry Me a River,” after their breakup that implied Spears had been unfaithful. In her 2023 memoir, “The Woman in Me,” Spears returned fire by accusing Timberlake of cheating on her and also revealing that she had undergone an abortion while they were together.
Timberlake, who is now married to Jessica Biel and shares two children with her, has been charged with driving while intoxicated and cited for running a stop sign and failure to stay in his lane. He was released without bail after his arraignment on Tuesday morning. Spears’ post on social media highlighting the importance of “the little things” seems to be a subtle response to Timberlake’s recent legal troubles. It is unclear how Timberlake’s arrest and Spears’ post will impact their past relationship or any potential interactions in the future.
The public response to Timberlake’s alleged drunk driving bust and Spears’ cryptic post has been mixed, with some fans speculating about the state of their relationship and others expressing disappointment in Timberlake’s behavior. Timberlake has faced criticism in the past for his involvement in the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show controversy with Janet Jackson and for his treatment of Spears after their breakup. While Spears has generally kept a low profile in recent years, her occasional social media posts continue to generate interest from fans and the media.
Both Spears and Timberlake have experienced significant challenges and successes in their careers since their highly publicized breakup. Spears has continued to make music and perform, despite ongoing legal battles and personal struggles. Timberlake has also remained active in the entertainment industry, although his reputation has been tarnished by various controversies over the years. It remains to be seen how their past relationship will continue to play out in the public eye, especially in light of Timberlake’s recent legal issues and Spears’ enigmatic social media posts.
