"The harm from public exposure - stigma, harassment, reputational injury, and the permanent loss of privacy - is immediate and irreparable."
"The complaint, filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court, alleges that the police department's intention to release police body camera footage from the singer's arrest in June 2024 'constitutes an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy' and would 'cause severe and irreparable harm' to the singer's 'personal and professional reputation.'"
"The lawsuit said the footage shows Timberlake 'in an acutely vulnerable state' and includes sensitive information, including familial and medical details."
Justin Timberlake filed a lawsuit against the Village of Sag Harbor, its police department, and chief of police to block the release of body camera footage from his June 2024 arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The complaint argues that releasing the footage constitutes an unwarranted invasion of privacy and would cause severe, irreparable harm to his personal and professional reputation. The lawsuit states the footage depicts Timberlake in a vulnerable state and contains sensitive familial and medical information. Timberlake was arrested after allegedly failing to stop at a stop sign and maintain his lane while driving a 2025 BMW in the affluent Sag Harbor village.
