Just hours after Justin Timberlake was arrested in Sag Harbor for a DWI, Britney Spears—who spoke out about their early 2000s relationship in her memoir—posted a cryptic Instagram photo, and fans think is a direct jab at her troubled ex.

While vacationing in Las Vegas, Spears shared a series of snaps documenting her trip—including a summery pic in a pool and a photo of her vacation cocktail, which she captioned, "It’s the little things you know 🌷🌷!!!"

"The drama," one person simply wrote on X.

"I wouldn't get too smug if I were her. She's not doing any better," another fan more harshly responded.

"Yeah…girlfriend needs to keep working on herself. She has a ways to go. Leave Justin alone," a third person criticized.

Other users, however, were quick to jump to Brit's defense, claiming any connections between Spears' cocktail post and Timberlake's arrest were nothing but a "reach."

"Way to jump to conclusions," a fan commented under one headline. "Literally nothing else going on this week huh," a second person chimed in.

Whether Brit meant the cocktail post as a shady callout or not, Justin Timberlake is in hot water after his arrest early Tuesday morning. According to sources, the singer—who claimed to police officers that he had just "one martini"—was reportedly "wasted" at Hamptons hotspot the American Hotel.

"At one point, just before closing, somebody got up to go to the bathroom and left his drink on the table. When [the guy] came back, [Justin] was drinking his drink," an onlooker told The New York Post.

The arrest report claims there was a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage" that was "emanating from [Justin's] breath" when he was pulled over shortly after leaving the restaurant. He sustained charges for driving while intoxicated or impaired and also received two citations for running a stop sign and failure to stay in his own lane.

Spears herself has gotten candid as of late about her own history with alcohol. In fact, late last year she released a teaser of her memoir and revealed that she would drink daiquiris with her mom when she was in the eighth grade.

"For fun, starting when I was in eighth grade, my mom and I would make the two-hour drive from Kentwood to Biloxi, Mississippi, and while we were there, we would drink daiquiris," Spears writes in the book. "We called our cocktails 'toddies.'"
