Justin Timberlake has sued the ritzy Long Island town of Sag Harbor in an attempt to stop the public release of bodycam footage from his infamous drunk driving arrest.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six on Monday, the “SexyBack” singer wants an order from a Suffolk County Supreme Court judge to block the video’s release.

The recording, captured by officers during Timberlake’s traffic stop and arrest in June 2024, is currently part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by members of the media, per the filing.

Timberlake, 45, argues in the lawsuit that he is depicted “in an acutely vulnerable state during a roadside encounter with law enforcement.”

The court documents also claimed that the bodycam video captured “intimate details” of Timberlake’s “physical appearance, demeanor, speech, and conduct” during his field sobriety test, arrest and confinement.

Michael Del Piano, the NSYNC alum’s lawyer, claimed the release of the bodycam footage would cause “severe and irreparable harm” to Timberlake’s “personal and professional reputation” and subject the singer to “public ridicule and harassment.”

Del Piano added that the video’s release served “no legitimate public interest in understanding the operations of government” and “disclosure of this footage would constitute an unwarranted invasion” of the pop superstar’s privacy.

The “Cry Me a River” hitmaker was named the petitioner in the new filing. The Village of Sag Harbor, the Sag Harbor Village Police Department and Chief of Police Robert Drake were named as respondents.

Reps for Timberlake and the Village of Sag Harbor did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Timberlake was arrested on June 18, 2024, after he allegedly ran a stop sign and swerved between lanes while driving his 2025 BMW after a night out with friends.

Although the singer claimed he only had one martini, the responding officer alleged that Timberlake failed his field sobriety tests.

Timberlake also showed signs of poor balance and an inability to follow instructions, according to the police report. He appeared to have bloodshot and glassy eyes in his mugshot.

Insiders told Page Six at the time that the officer who pulled Timberlake over “was so young that he didn’t even know” who the Grammy winner was.

But while Timberlake ultimately pleaded not guilty to driving while intoxicated after his arrest, he agreed to plead guilty to driving while ability impaired by alcohol – a lesser and noncriminal charge.

Still, he was ordered to perform 25 hours of community service and pay a $500 fine plus a $260 surcharge. Timberlake’s driver’s license was also suspended in New York for 90 days.

“What I’d like to say to everyone watching and listening, even if you’ve had one drink, don’t get behind the wheel of a car,” Timberlake said in a press conference after his sentencing on Sept. 13, 2024.

“There are so many alternatives. Call a friend, take an Uber, there are many travel apps, take a taxi,” he added. “This is a mistake that I made, but I am hoping that whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake.”
