As Justin Timberlake weathers the ramifications of his Tuesday arrest on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, hes found a vocal ally in Gayle King.

On Wednesdays episode of CBS Mornings, King came to Timberlakes defense, calling the pop star a really, really great guy who happened to make a bad decision.

This is clearly a mistake, she said. I bet nobody knows it more than he.

Though the broadcast journalist acknowledged theres never any excuse for driving while intoxicated, she noted that Timberlake was not an irresponsible person.

Hes not reckless, hes not careless, she said. Clearly, this is not a good thing. He knows that.

Watch King discuss Timberlakes arrest on CBS Mornings below.
