Justin Timberlake Sues to Stop Release of DWI Arrest ‘Invasion of Personal Privacy’

Published on March 3, 2026.
Justin Timberlake is seeking a legal injunction to prevent the release of bodycam footage from his DWI arrest in 2020. The lawsuit, filed in a Long Island branch of New York state court, alleges that Sag Harbor Village Police Department plans to grant a media outlet's public records request and hand over eight hours of video from Timberlake's arrest. His lawyers argue that this would be an "unwarranted invasion of personal privacy". The Village of Sag Harbor received a request for the video footage under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) and indicated it would comply with this request with certain redactions based on personal privacy and law enforcement interference exemptions.
