It's been weeks since Justin Timberlake was arrested after a night out with friends in Sag Harbor, and more recently, it appears that the singer is comfortable cracking jokes about his legal trouble. He seemingly made fun of the incident at his recent concert.
As seen on online videos, the "Mirrors" hitmaker took the stage of the TD Garden in Boston, MA, as part of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
In one moment, he addressed the crowd and joked about his arrest, saying, "So uh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving and ... no I'm just kidding."
The crowd went into a frenzy as they started screaming and laughing after the joke.
Although most of his fans who attended the concert just laughed at his humor, many online users expressed their disappointment, believing it wasn't a good thing to joke about.
"Not funny at all. My cousin was killed by a drunk driver. She was 19. He needs to grow up," one wrote.
"It hasn't even been a full 2 weeks since Justin Timberlake was arrested for driving while intoxicated and he's already making light of the situation by cracking jokes. Where is the accountability? Drinking & driving is not a joke Justin!" another one wrote.

"SMH! And the fact the people in the audience actually laughed," one replied.
The recent news comes after the musician's night out with friends at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. Later that evening, a young police officer stopped him after running a stop sign while driving his 2025 silver BMW vehicle.
The police noted that his "eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath."
He refused to take a breathalyzer test thrice, but he was cooperative and took a sobriety test, which he failed. After his arraignment, he left the Sag Harbor municipal building and was released from custody the following day.
According to an insider who spoke with People magazine, Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, have already "moved on" from the arrest.
"They have faith in their legal team and continue to focus on work and their family instead," the insider added.
In other updates, Justin Timberlake will continue his tour over the next few months. Although his court date was set on the same day as his concert in Poland, it was reported that he was not required to attend in person and that his lawyer would represent him in court.
