Justin Timberlake did have a drink.
The actor and singer has been confirmed to have “one drink” at New York’s American Hotel by a bartender at the establishment, before he was arrested under DWI charges on Tuesday, June 18.
The anonymous staff member gave the statement while talking to People on Saturday, June 22, describing the 43-year-old’s actions, laying his statements parallel to the singer’s claim that he only had “one martini.”
Another employee at American Hotel, located in Sag Harbor, said to the outlet that, “If he was drinking more, it wasn’t here.”
On June 17, Timberlake was charged and placed under arrest in the Hamptons on DWI-related offences.
