Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods are settling a lawsuit brought against the New York sports bar and restaurant they own which alleged bartenders were denied tips they made and underpaid for overtime.
A Monday, May 18th New York federal court filing by Timberlake and Woods’ attorney said they had reached an agreement in principle with Ana Campos and Jonathan Weiss, bartenders at T-Squared Social in Manhattan, to settle the lawsuit.
The parties have 30 days to finalize the agreement, after which the case will be dropped.
Campos and Weiss sued T-Squared in January alleging the bar’s management was illegally “retaining their tips and paying the wrong overtime rates.”
Only a couple months into the lawsuit, the parties went into mediation and came out of that with the framework of a settlement, according to the recent court filing.
Timberlake and Woods opened T-Squared Social of Manhattan in 2023 with the golfer saying in a press release that the idea came to them while playing golf.
“Justin and I thought it would be cool to create a place that combines our favorite things and brings people together to just have a great time,” Woods said, according to an ESPN report.
The two also own another T-Squared Social in Scotland.
Both men have other legal issues ongoing. Timberlake is in another lawsuit to block the release of police body camera footage from a 2024 DWI arrest.
Woods was arrested with a charge of DWI in March, afterwards saying he was stepping out of the public’s eye to “seek treatment.”
