Justin Timberlake is mounting a high-stakes legal fight to stop the release of police body‑cam footage from his 2024 drink‑driving arrest, warning that making the video public would cause 'severe and irreparable harm' to his reputation and career.
The 45‑year‑old singer and actor filed a petition in the Suffolk County Supreme Court on 2 March 2026 seeking an order to block or heavily restrict public access to the recording, which was captured during his June 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, New York. Timberlake's legal team argues that the footage would expose deeply personal and private moments that carry no legitimate public interest and could subject him to ridicule and harassment.
