Justin Timberlake has been caught on camera angrily slapping away a fanβs 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 starβs jacket.
Feeling something touch his torso, Timberlake looked down before growing visibly angry and slappin the fanβs hand away hard as security also stepped in to help.
Fans rushed to comment with one replying: βOmg last time I saw a hand swat like that was when I took one too many cookies and my grandma caught me.β
Another replied: βHeβs an ass like every other celebrity. Donβt want to be touched stay out of the crowd. He knowsβ¦.β
While a third fan responded: βWhys so angry?? He chose to get that close to them all?β
However, others defended the star, with another commenting: βWhy would you even try and touch someone without their permission?β
Meanwhile, this is not the only fan footage from the show to spark controversy this week for the star.
Timberlakeβs team have hit back over footage of the singer thatβs circulated widely in the wake of his drunken driving arrest last week.
In the days following his arrest, footage circulated of Timberlake in the crowd at a show during his current tour.

The 43-year-old looked worryingly tired and drawn, with wide, red-lidded eyes and a tense expression on his face.
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.
And an unnamed source fromΒ Timberlakeβs team has insisted to TMZΒ that the footage shows the star completely sober.
βWeβre told he 100% was [sober], as he has been for every show,β TMZ reports. βOur sources say JT is always focused and clear-headed at all his shows β¦ thereβs simply too much at stake in the performance.β
In fact, Timberlake made his post-arrest return to the stage at a concert in Chicago last Friday evening, and tackled hisΒ brush with the law head-on.
βItβs been a tough week,β Timberlake told the crowd. βI know Iβm hard to love sometimes but you keep loving me right back.β
