Billy Joel reacts to Justin Timberlake’s DWI arrest near his Hamptons home: ‘Judge not lest ye be judged’

Only the good get pulled over?

Music legend Billy Joel cautioned outsiders from casting aspersions about Justin Timerblake following the pop star’s arrest for allegedly driving while intoxicated on Long Island this week.

“Judge not lest ye be judged,” Joel, 75, told PIX11 News on Tuesday afternoon – just hours after Timberlake, 43, was pulled over in Sag Harbor.

The “Piano Man” singer spoke to the outlet while he was eating at the American Hotel, where Timberlake was spotted partying before he was nabbed by cops.

The swanky spot is also a short walk from Joel’s home on Bay Street.

Timberlake was stopped by police just after midnight on Tuesday, and was also cited for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane, court documents showed.

The “Sexy Back” singer – who is in the middle of a world tour that includes upcoming dates at Madison Square Garden – told the officers he had just “one martini, and I followed my friends home.”

He also refused three times to take a Breathalyzer test, and failed a field sobriety test, according to charging documents.

A witness at the American Hotel told The Post that the singer was “wasted” — and even downed someone else’s drink when its owner went to the restroom.
