they said what?? top 5 celebrity arrests and reactions
justin timberlake is expected back in court this week to face charges of driving under the influence following a Hamptons party. While drunk driving is no joke, what he said to the young arresting officer, who had no clue who he was, has the internet going hysterical and the memes piling up.
JT: “This is going to ruin the tour”
Officer: “What tour?”
JT: “The world tour.”
Let’s face it, no one’s their best self when getting arrested…most just don’t make headlines. And JT is far from the first celeb to do so. With that, we rounded up the top 5 most quotable lines hollywood stars have dropped when getting cuffed. Here we go…
travis scott
“it’s Miami”
When the rapper was arrested following a fight aboard a yacht, he admitted to police that yes, he’d been drinking because after all, “it’s Miami.” Not surprisingly, that explanation didn’t cut it, but it did make it on to merch. After getting arrested and charged with trespassing and disorderly intoxication, Scott posted bail and promptly splashed the phrase and his mugshot on to a T-shirt, which is currently selling on his website for $35.
justin bieber
“I ain’t got no f***ing weapons”
Miami was also the scene of Justin Bieber’s arrest back in 2014, a time he now looks back on as, “not his finest.” The then 19-year-old pop star was pulled over around 4am while street racing and according to the arresting officer, began dropping f-bombs during a cursory pat down for weapons. Seven years after the incident, Bieber took to IG to reflect, writing, “I was hurting, unhappy, confused, angry, mislead, misunderstood and angry at god…I also wore too much leather for someone in Miami.”
lindsay lohan
“Are you kidding?”
Lindsay Lohan has had quite a few run-ins with the law, one of which named Justin Bieber, although it was only because it happened after one of his concerts. The actress was at a club keeping the party going when she allegedly punched a woman in the face for bumping into her. Upon being handcuffed, the actress exclaimed, “are you kidding?” Clearly the officers were not.
reese witherspoon
“Do you know my name?”
In 2013, the actress and her now ex-husband, Jim Toth, were pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. While Reese wasn’t at the wheel, she caused quite a scene from the passengers seat. According to the arrest report, the academy award winner “stated that she was a ‘U.S. citizen’ and was allowed to ‘stand on American ground.’” She then pulled the celeb card asking, “Do you know my name?” When the officer said, “no,” she reportedly answered that he was about “to find out.” Eventually he did, but not before slapping Toth with a DUI and her with disorderly conduct.
matthew mcconaughey
“My naked ass is proof I was mindin’ my own business!”
In 1999 around 2:30am, officers responding to a noise complaint entered the actors home and found him naked, high and banging on the bongos. When they booked him for disturbing the peace, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest, McConaughey apparently responded, “You broke into my house! F**k yeah I resisted.” The “Dazed and Confused” actor remembers refusing officers attempts to cover him up exclaiming, “I’m not putting sh*t on! My naked ass is proof I was mindin’ my own business!” While he continues to bongo naked, the father of three did learn a lesson. Now, he says, he closes the windows.
