Fans are outraged when Justin Timberlake attempts to move over his DWI arrest and enlists his wife Jessica Biel and his tour staff to participate in a «Swedish candy taste test»
When Justin Timberlake invited his wife Jessica Biel to participate in a «Swedish candy taste test,» he gave his fans a glimpse of the lighter side of his current Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
In a video that was uploaded to his Instagram feed on Wednesday, the 43-year-old singer-songwriter maintained a lighthearted tone while sampling some sweet and sour candies from the Swedish confectionery brand BonBon.
Before other members of Justin’s crew offered their opinions, his 42-year-old actress wife approvedly nibbled on some of the candies in a second video.
However, many fans expressed displeasure with the NSYNC member’s idiosyncratic behavior in the comments section, criticizing him for supposedly attempting to divert attention from the fallout from his DWI arrest earlier this month.
Shortly after being brought into prison in Sag Harbor, New York, Timberlake was seen being led about by police while wearing handcuffs. He was dressed casually in a loose all-black clothing.
«Why must I speak first?» Jokingly complaining, Justin was in what appeared to be a green room at Madison Square Garden, where he was scheduled to perform later that night, according to the pictures of the venue and previous performers that were up on the walls.
«Because you are in charge!» A member of his crew cracked a joke, eliciting laughs from everyone in the room.
As the others applauded him, Justin remarked, «Oh, OK, now I’m the boss.»
Carefully, he reached into one of the two pink bags that were open on the table in front of him; nevertheless, he leaned in to the side, keeping his hand by his side to conceal the piece of mixed candy he had chosen.
«Is this one terrible?» he asked himself.
«What’s that?» He chewed thoughtfully. «I will rate this as a six [out of ten].»
Then, when a woman filming him if he would eat it again, he responded with a hilariously subdued «no.»
Justin returned for a second piece of candy after the other tour members had sampled anywhere from five to 10.
«Oh!» «It’s much better than the first time,» he remarked with approval. «Oh my God!»
He rated the candy in the shape of a ring an outstanding 9.5.
He referenced his hit song Strawberry Bubblegum by 20/20 Experience and said, «It was like strawberry… strawberry bubblegum.» He then hurriedly left the camera.
His wife Jessica Biel was the star of another video.
Given that Timberlake was spotted wearing the top on her way to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, it is likely that she filmed the videos when she was wearing the gray sleeveless ribbed sweater with stylish cutouts and twisting strands over her chest.
In addition, the actress wore matching black trousers and a stylish black leather jacket slung over her shoulders.
«Holy shit!» After taking her first piece of candy, she winced and slumped forward, resting her hands on her knees.
She muttered, «It’s so good, it’s just super sour,» as she chewed, then realized the flavor was either «cherry» or «cherry soda.» She rated it a nine or eight.

The majority of those who tasted it after her were pleased with their sweets; but, one woman was saddled with a true dud, which she gave only a two out of five.
Even if the videos appeared to be joyful, many admirers and followers didn’t value the fun times just a few days after Timberlake was taken into custody for a DWI.
One person wrote, «You’re a real one for not shutting off your comments lol,» but many of the critical remarks were swiftly overshadowed by supportive remarks that made no mention of the incident.
Some commenters remarked that the videos appeared «awkward» or «fake,» and another poster dubbed the recordings «Damage control.»
Another individual wrote, «Look how normal we are and just ignoring the fact that happened and how fine everything is.»
As one fan put it, «People in the comments act like they are saints and never done anything wrong,» but other fans defended Timberlake. You folks crack me up.
One more encouraging admirer said, «Some of you guys are hilarious.» You’ll pretend to be flawless and cancel people.
According to a court filing, on June 18, at around 12:30 a.m., Justin was pulled over by a Sag Harbor Village Police Department officer in the Hamptons neighborhood of New York after he reportedly ran a stop sign and drifted out of his lane while operating a 2025 BMW X7.
According to the court documents, the defendant exhibited bloodshot and glassy eyes, a strong alcoholic beverage odor coming from his breath, difficulty dividing his focus, slower speech, unsteadiness when walking, and poor performance on all standardized field sobriety tests.
According to the documents, the so-called ‘Prince of Pop’ told the officer he had had one martini and was driving some companions home.
According to court documents, he declined a breathalyzer test after being detained and brought to a police station in neighboring East Hampton.
The papers also stated that he is self-employed and identified his occupation as «professional.»
The ten-time Grammy winner was arraigned in Sag Harbor and later that morning was freed without bond. He was charged with a misdemeanor of driving while drunk, and the district attorney’s office for Suffolk County reported that his next court date was set for July 26.
People was informed by a hotel bartender that the singer had only had one drink before to her detention.
‘If he was drinking more, it wasn’t here,’ a different staff member told the publication.
