Justin Timberlake argues the release of eight hours of bodycam footage from his June 2024 DWI arrest would cause irreparable harm by exposing intimate personal details, his lawyers say.
- On March 2, Timberlake sued in Suffolk County Supreme Court to block release of police footage from his June 18, 2024 arrest, seeking a temporary restraining order.
- After receiving FOIL requests from media including the Associated Press, the Village of Sag Harbor said it planned to release some footage with redactions, and Timberlake's team was notified Sunday.
- The video reportedly includes field sobriety testing and extended custody, with police planning to release roughly eight hours of body-worn camera footage showing Timberlake in an acutely vulnerable state.
- In state court on Monday, Judge Joseph Farneti asked the sides to confer and report back later in the week, after lawyers sought an injunction or private review to block release.
- The petition warns that release would be irreversible and harmful, and Timberlake pleaded guilty in September 2024, receiving 25 to 40 hours of community service and a $500 fine.
