According to multiple publications, Justin was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning while driving from the American Hotel to a friend’s house in Sag Harbor, New York.

On Wednesday, Justin’s attorney, Edward Burke Jr., released a statement saying that he “looks forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations.”

People have been reacting to the arrest online, and now, during a discussion with her co-anchors on Wednesday’s episode of CBS Mornings, Gayle King has come to Justin’s defense.

“Justin Timberlake is a really, really great guy,” she began. “Listen, this is clearly a mistake — I bet nobody knows it more than he.”

Gayle’s comments come after Billy Joel was asked about the incident while at the same hotel where Justin was last spotted before his arrest. The 75-year-old singer told reporters: “Judge not lest ye be judged,” adding that he didn’t “really know that much” about what happened, so he had “no comment.”

After acknowledging that the accusations against Justin are all “alleged” at this point, Gayle was sure to emphasize that driving while intoxicated is completely inexcusable.
