AceShowbiz - Tiffany Haddish recently took a moment to reflect on her journey to sobriety and threw a cheeky jab at Justin Timberlake during a conversation on a red carpet. Haddish made a reference to the NSYNC member when asked about her experience of quitting drinking after she herself faced two DUI arrests.
Speaking at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, she shared that sobriety hadn't changed her at all, elaborating that it was alcohol that brings about changes, fostering "toxic relationships" and affecting one's physical appearance and health.
"If anything, it changed me when I was drinking, that changes you. And it messes up your skin, your hair, your body structure, you start having that bad body build situation. It creates toxic relationships," Haddish explained. She then added a witty remark, saying, "You better ask Justin Timberlake that same s**t!"
Justin Timberlake, known for his successful career with NSYNC and his solo accomplishments, was arrested for driving while intoxicated in the Hamptons on June 18. Timberlake was reportedly "freaking out" when in custody, refusing to take a breathalyzer test, and has maintained that he only had one drink. The arrest report noted his "bloodshot and glassy" eyes and a strong smell of alcohol.
Following his arrest, Timberlake has been struggling with the fallout and the perceived end of his "golden boy image." According to sources, Timberlake's career has not met his expectations lately, with his latest album "Everything I Thought It Was" underperforming and acting roles becoming scarce. An industry insider commented, "I just think Justin has a bad reputation in Hollywood as a bit of a jerk and a pain in the a**."
Timberlake addressed the situation during his Chicago stop on the Forget Tomorrow World Tour, saying, "It's been a tough week. I know sometimes I'm hard to love, but you keep on loving me, and I love you right back."
Meanwhile, his wife, Jessica Biel, was reportedly "extremely upset" and worried about him upon learning of his arrest.
Despite the challenges, Timberlake plans to continue his tour, with several shows lined up across the US, Europe, and Canada. His recent legal troubles have stirred much discussion, particularly among fans of his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, who have been vocal on social media.
