Earlier this year, Justin Timberlake was arrested with a DWI charge after leaving a dinner with his friends. However, after Jessica Biel encouraged the singer to take a plea deal, Timberlake is ready to move on and begin focusing on his family. JT seems to have learned his lesson and is ready to face whatever consequences come with his actions. Can Justin put all of this legal drama behind him and move forward?
According to People, Justin Timberlake is not getting off easy despite the plea deal. His license is still suspended, and Jessica Biel is “not happy about it.” Timberlake and Biel share sons, Silas and Phineas together. This is most likely what Jessica is most upset about. A DWI charge on their father is not necessarily something to look up to.
Jessica Biel and Fans React to Justin Timberlake’s Plea Deal
“He’s a family man, and this is his focus. He accepted a plea deal because he wants to move on,” the source says. “The court case has been a distraction. He doesn’t want his family to be affected by it. It’s not like he’s getting off completely — his license is still suspended,” the source adds. “Jess has not been happy about it. She’s encouraged him to accept the plea deal.”
Fans took to Reddit to talk about Timberlake dodging drunk driving charges with his plea deal.
“I don’t agree with this decision at all, but I also know that this isn’t entirely uncommon,” one said.
“I was also going to say this, pleas like this happen all the time with regular people as well,” wrote another.
Another Reddit user stated, “Not surprising. 95-98% of cases in the US end in plea deals. I just wish they would make them plead to their actual charges so it’s on their record instead of changing the facts to their advantage.”
While most seem unhappy with the charges being dropped, the public understands why it went down this way.
