Footage from a security camera in Sag Harbor Village, the Hamptons, shows what appears to be pop star Justin Timberlake's SUV following a friend's sedan down Main Street, moments before he was allegedly arrested for DWI.
The hitmaker, 43, was. Sources tell DailyMail.com Justin has been crumbling since Britney's memoir.Justin Timberlake has been drinking more to 'escape' the backlash over Britney Spears' bombshell memoir and the mounting pressures of staying in the charts, with insiders claiming he has arrived at tour rehearsals reeking of booze on more than one occasion.
Insiders claim the incident should serve as a 'wake-up call' for the singer who used alcohol to cope with the explosive allegations leveled against him by Britney, 42, including that he urged her to have an abortion in the early 2000s. 'Justin has been stressed over the Britney drama that happened at the end of last year and some of us noticed that he was drinking more,' a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
For refusing the breathalyzer test, Justin had his driving privileges in the state of New York suspended. Justin, who has previously confessed to 'getting plastered' and 'doing his fair share of drugs' in secret, had been out for dinner with friends before his arrest on Monday 'He has not been super happy about his album sales but no one at the label really has. Everyone was expecting so much better.''It is no secret that Justin drinks, and the dancers know this better than anyone,' they said. 'He has turned up to rehearse smelling like alcohol on several occasions.'
The source said he often 'celebrates a good show by getting drunk' but can also become 'flirty' - with his wife Jessica Biel joining nights out to 'babysit' him. In October, Justin was dealt a shock blow when Britney made multiple accusations against him in her memoir The Woman In Me, including criticizing his 2002 track Cry Me a River for how it made her look.
