Justin Timberlake is in serious trouble after being arrest for driving under the influence earlier this week.

Not only is he facing charges, but he’s done irreparable damage to his reputation, with many fans surprised the singer would make such a reckless decision.

But it appears Justin plan to continue his world tour, as a new report says he’s opting to forgo rehab to focus on his planned performance.

Why Justin’s Refusal To Do Rehab Is Strategic

According to TMZ, sources say Timberlake has no intentions of entering a rehabilitation facility following his recent arrest in Sag Harbor, NY.

While it’s common in Hollywood for individuals to seek proactive measures like rehab or alcohol education classes after a drug or alcohol-related incident to improve their legal standing, Justin has opted for a different approach, and there may be sound reasoning behind his decision.

The sources claim that Justin has no prior arrest record, and contrary to recent reports, he does not have a history of irresponsible drinking. People who have been closely associated with the singer over the years attest that they have never observed him having any issues, and he typically maintains control when in public.

Another significant factor in Justin’s strategy is his ongoing world tour, with his next performance scheduled at Chicago’s United Center this Friday. The tour’s schedule allows Justin little time for breaks, so any interruptions could be a huge blow financially as well as to his reputation.

TMZ says that despite the legal challenges, Justin remains focused on his professional commitments, leaving the handling of his DWI case to his attorney, Edward Burke Jr., who has expressed intentions to contest the arrest.

Still, sources say that they anticipate that Justin’s legal team and prosecutors will likely negotiate a plea deal, particularly once the police body camera footage from the arrest is reviewed.

During the incident, Justin reportedly claimed he had consumed only one martini during dinner with friends, though officers alleged they detected alcohol on his breath. He also apparently had a poor performance on a field sobriety test.

Justin’s Next Court Date Coincides With A Performance

Justin declined to take a breathalyzer test, underscoring the potential importance of the body cam footage in determining the course of his legal proceedings. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 26, coinciding with a concert in Kraków, Poland. It’s unclear if the performance will be pushed to a later date.

It’s not only Timberlake who’s failed to issue a public statement or apology for his actions. His wife Jessica Biel is also staying silent on allegations. She was recently seen filming for her new movie, but the 7th Heaven alum hasn’t had any comment on Timberlake’s arrest or the future of his tour.

Despite TMZ’s report, other rumors say Justin has had a long-time substance problem and his DWI could’ve been foreshadowed. “It’s not a secret. Everyone knows,” an insider told Page Six . “He has a real drinking problem, a lot of weed — but a major alcohol problem, and he’s been hiding and masking it for years.”
