Justin Timberlake admitted in court that he “did not live up to the standard” expected of him during a recent DWI hearing, as the pop star faced legal repercussions for his actions.

After striking a settlement in his DWI case, the 43-year-old artist showed up for a hearing at the Sag Harbour, New York, courthouse on September 13 with his attorney Edward Burke Jr.

Taking the bench, Timberlake told Sag Harbour Village Justice Carl Irace that, although he has always attempted to hold himself to the "highest standard possible," he has "found myself in a position of disappointment" with himself after having "time to reflect" since his June arrest.

The Selfish crooner remarked, "I did not live up to the standard I hold myself to."

He added in court that he "would like to take a moment to show gratitude to everybody involved" and that he was aware of "the strain this can put" on the community's resources because he was raised in a small town.

After Timberlake made his remarks, Irace questioned the singer's "intent," informing him that he had not yet addressed his choice to drive when he had the option of using a ride-sharing app or a cab.

Timberlake said to Irace, "I found myself in a position where I should've taken a moment." "My judgement ought to have been better. I know and respect how serious this is."

Irace retorted that he valued Timberlake's authenticity and that the musician had given the matter a great deal of consideration.

The judge accepted the plea agreement and imposed the punishment after telling Timberlake, "I believe you."

In addition to having his licence revoked for 90 days, Timberlake will have to make a public service announcement on the risks of driving while intoxicated, pay a $500 fine plus a $260 fee, and perform 25 hours of community service at a non-profit of his choosing.
