Moment Justin Timberlake slaps away fan who tried to touch him mid-concert

Justin Timberlake has been caught on camera slapping away a fan’s hand when they tried to reach out and touch his arm during a concert.
Timberlake was performing in Tampa, Florida on June 14 when the incident occurred, and was caught by a fan recording the show.
As the singer, who was recently arrested after a suspected DUI , stepped up onto the barrier in front of a crowd, a fan reached out and appeared to try and touch the star’s jacket.
Feeling something touch his torso, Timberlake looked down before growing visibly angry and slappin the fan’s hand away hard as security also stepped in to help.
Some claimed that the footage showed Timberlake at his first concert back following the arrest, but in fact, it was originally filmed and posted back in May, at one of his Las Vegas concerts.
“We’re told he 100% was [sober], as he has been for every show,” TMZ reports. “Our sources say JT is always focused and clear-headed at all his shows … there’s simply too much at stake in the performance.”
In fact, Timberlake made his post-arrest return to the stage at a concert in Chicago last Friday evening, and tackled his brush with the law head-on.
“It’s been a tough week,” Timberlake told the crowd. “I know I’m hard to love sometimes but you keep loving me right back.”
