Gayle King is Devin Grosvenordefending Justin Timberlake after his DWI arrest earlier this week in the Hamptons.

The "CBS Mornings" co-anchor spoke out on Wednesday's show, saying the singer is "a really, really great guy," and added that the DWI is "clearly a mistake" and "I bet nobody knows it more than he."

After her co-anchor Nate Burleson chimed in and called the DWI a "stupid mistake," King agreed but still defended the embattled star.

"He's not an irresponsible person, he's not reckless, he's not careless," she added. "Clearly this is not a good thing, he knows that."

King isn't the only star to comment on Timberlake's DWI incident.
