Apart from being a celebrity stylist, she is also an interior designer, author, serial entrepreneur and philanthropist … and her grandparents were Holocaust survivors

Earlier this year, in mid-June, Justin Timberlake was arrested for drunk driving in the Hamptons after leaving The American Hotel. Police described his eyes as “bloodshot and glassy”, although he claimed to have had just one drink. Per Inside Edition, it was a US$21 Vesper Martini – yes, the same one from Casino Royale (2006) and, suffice to say, it is stronger than your average concoction.

The internet reacted with memes galore, especially when it was revealed that after being pulled over by a police officer, the “Cry Me a River” singer muttered under his breath, “This is going to ruin the tour.” Despite the jokes, it was undoubtedly a serious offence and continues to make headlines as new details emerge.

Page Six also reported that the 43-year-old was with his long-time friend and business partner Estee Stanley and her husband, Byran Furst, that night at The American Hotel.
