Justin Timberlake’s appearance with red eyes at a Las Vegas concert has raised concerns in the wake of the star’s recent arrest for driving under the influence.
Timberlake’s eyes looked pained and tired, but his expression seemed surprisingly alert, during a concert in Las Vegas last month.
Footage of his appearance has resurfaced in the wake of Tuesday’s arrest, in which the 43-year-old singer was detained in his BMW X7 as he left the American Hotel in the Hamptons town of Sag Harbor.
Days later, Poo Crave, a fake, satirical X account inspired by the popular online media outlet known as Pop Crave, falsely posted that Timberlake “had traces” of Molly, or ecstasy, in his system.
The same profile stated that he was found to have poppers, which are chemicals people snort to get high, Truvada, a prescription drug used to treat and prevent HIV, and cocaine in his “bloodstream” after the DWI.
Ardent fans are concerned after footage emerged of red-eyed Justin Timberlake performing at a concert days after his DWI arrest in the Hamptons.
False claims that Justin Timberlake had ‘Molly, poppers, coke’ and an HIV medication in his system when he was arrested in the Hamptons have previously circulated online.

But what might seem like a fun celebrity moment has left fans distraught as eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice the singer’s teary eyes.
The attendants who were near the barriers were evidently shocked and bewildered when they noticed his gloomy red eyes.
When the video went viral, viewers jumped into the comments section to express concern about the musician’s condition.

One X user joked: “Jesus, someone get the man some sunglasses.”
While another questioned: ‘What’s wrong with his eyes?’
One user also came to Timberlake’s defense, saying: ‘They’re judging people and they don’t know what it takes to be them. Entertaining thousands of people for entire nights can’t be easy.’
Some also ‘quoted’ Timberlake and wrote: ‘this is going to ruin the world tour.’
One user further wondered: ‘Did he blink?’
Police sources said that the Sexy Back singer was arrested shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
Police reportedly saw him run a stop sign and observed him cross the street.
On Tuesday, news emerged that Justin (seen leaving the police station), 43, had been arrested for drunk driving in the exclusive Hamptons enclave of Sag Harbor.
The father of two failed a sobriety test and was handcuffed and arrested, according to a police report. At the police station he refused to submit to a breathalyzer test.
On Tuesday morning, police officers led Justin across the bridge from Sag Harbor Police Headquarters to the village Courthouse in exclusive footage obtained by DailyMail.com.
The musician appeared shocked as he looked forward and was handcuffed. After a brief arraignment in which he was banned from driving for a year in New York, he was released without bail and left court wearing a baseball cap.
He was charged with a DWI charge, as well as running a stop sign and failing to stay in his lane.
His next court appearance will be July 26. There have been no actual reports of drugs being in his system.
justin has admitted to using illicit substances on numerous occasions over the years.
