Justin Timberlake addresses fans after his scandalous DUI arrest: "I know sometimes I'm hard to love but you keep on loving me and I love you right back"

Justin Timberlake broke his silence after last week's scandal involving him. During his latest concert, the artist addressed his fans, referencing the arrest and drinking. What did he say?

Last week, there was a lot of noise about Justin Timberlake, who was arrested in New York for driving under the influence. During his questioning at the police station, the musician allegedly insisted that he drank "only one Martini" that unfortunate night.

The behind-the-scenes details of his arrest have also surfaced. The police officer who arrested the musician did not recognise Justin, so he didn't know he was dealing with a star. Interestingly, Justin supposedly asked the officer for leniency, as he said the scandal with the arrest would cast a shadow on his career and ongoing tour.

The musician has already left custody and returned to performing. Justin's court hearing is said to take place on 26 July, the same day the star is set to perform in Europe.

Justin Timberlake breaks silence after the arrest

Justin Timberlake had not commented on the scandal involving him until now. However, he broke the silence by playing a concert in Chicago on Friday. Standing on stage, Justin poignantly mentioned:

It's been a tough week - he began.

He then addressed the fans.

I know sometimes I'm hard to love but you keep on loving me and I love you right back - he added.

Were these the words you expected?
