UPDATED , Tuesday 3:27 p.m.:Justin Timberlake isn’t in hot water after all over his polling -place selfie.
“The 20/20 Experience” singer is not facing scrutiny from authorities after posting a photo of himself seemingly at a polling place on Instagram, despite an earlier statement from the Shelby County, Tennessee, district attorney’s office.
“The statement released earlier today by my office regarding Justin Timberlake and an investigation was incorrect and was released without my knowledge,” Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said in a subsequent statement. “I am out of town at a conference. No one in our office is currently investigating this matter nor will we be using our limited resources to do so.”
Earlier Tuesday, the Shelby County, Tennessee, district attorney’s office told TheWrap that it is looking into the selfie, which Timberlake, a Memphis native, posted on Monday.
Shelby County DA spokesman Vince Higgins told TheWrap that the office “was made aware of a possible violation of state election law. The matter is under review by the D.A.’s office.”
Tennessee prohibits the taking of photos or videos in polling places. The law, TCA 2-7-142B, is a Class C misdemeanor. Violators face a sentence of up to 30 days and a fine of no more than $50.
“Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!! No excuses, my good people!” Timberlake wrote in a caption accompanying the photo. “There could be early voting in your town too. If not, November 8th! Choose to have a voice! If you don’t, then we can’t HEAR YOU! Get out and VOTE! #excerciseyourrighttovote.”
TheWrap has reached out to Timberlake’s management for comment on the matter.
Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, are supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and held a fundraiser for Clinton at their Los Angeles home in August. The luncheon event reportedly raised more than $3 million for the candidate. Afterward, Timberlake tweeted a series of photo booth-style pictures featuring himself with Clinton and Biel.
Those photos, presumably, were legal.
