Justin Timberlake sets X alight with memes over his Sag Harbor DWI arrest as fans joke he must have drank from a giant martini glass… while his iconic dance moves come back to haunt him after failing field sobriety test
Justin Timberlake has set X on fire with memes about his arrest in Sag Harbor.
The 43-year-old singer was arrested after running a stop sign behind the wheel of his BMW X7 early Tuesday morning after a night out with friends.
Police described him as having “bloodshot and glassy” eyes, a strong odor of alcohol, slowed speech and an inability to maintain attention.
After reports emerged that Justin told officers on the scene that he had “just one martini” before “following his friends home,” it opened the floodgates for dozens of memes to be created.
Fans joked about the size of the martini glass and his famous dance moves came back to haunt him after he failed his sobriety test.
One wrote: ‘Why does Justin Timberlake look so hungover after only having ONE martini? The martini…’, next to a gif of a giant martini glass being carried to a table.

After reports emerged that Justin told officers on the scene that he had “just one martini” before “following his friends home,” it opened the floodgates for dozens of memes to be created.
Others uploaded memes of bartenders generously pouring alcohol into a cocktail glass.
They wrote next to it: ‘The bartender who made Justin Timberlake’s one martini’ and ‘Current images of the bartender who made Justin Timberlake’s one martini’.
Another fan compared him to Eddie Redmayne’s Cabaret performance at the Tony Awards, writing: “Justin Timberlake claims he had one martini.”
The father-of-two is also said to have been unsteady on his feet and “performed poorly” on a field sobriety test, which he ultimately failed.
Sobriety tests often include being asked to walk in a straight line from heel to toe and turn or stand on one leg.
Fans joked that Justin, who was famous for his impressive dance moves on stage, could have mimicked one of his routines when asked to walk in a straight line.
“Sir, I want you to get out of the car and walk in a straight line” next to a photo of him dancing and holding his body on stage.
After being arrested and taken to a local police station, Justin also refused to take a breath test.
One meme referenced Justin’s wife Jessica Biel and how he should explain his arrest. They added to the ‘sad phone conversation’ photo: ‘Justin Timberlake tries to call Jessica Biel from the stage.’
Another comparison shared compared Justin’s mugshot to Skipper from Madagascar with bloodshot eyes.
