The images of Justin Timberlake handcuffed after being arrested last night for driving under the influence of alcohol went around the world in the blink of an eye, thus reviving rumors about his conflictive relationship with drinking.
The singer was arrested in Sag Harbor, New York, spent the night in police custody, and during the morning was released without bail for driving while intoxicated and running a red light.
As soon as the news of his arrest went viral, close sources revealed that Justin has been dealing with alcoholism problems for several years now, something that has become an open secret in the industry.
Justin Timberlake Has A Drinking Problem?
A trusted source claimed that Justin Timberlake has “a serious drinking problem” that, although he has tried to hide, in recent years has ended up becoming much more evident in his close circle.
“He has a real drinking problem, a lot of weed — but a major alcohol problem” the insider said.
His recent arrest indicates that even though Justin stopped drinking to adopt a healthier lifestyle, his old demons may have returned.

The criticism and media pressure that was unleashed against Justin would have put the singer in a very complicated position, in which the celebrity only managed to find a kind of refuge in alcohol.
