Christie Brinkley and Alexa RayBilly Joel and Christie Brinkley have issued the following statement regarding the apparent suicide attempt of their daughter, Alexa Ray Joel. It reads: “Every parent can imagine the pain and anguish we face as parents of a daughter who is working to recover from the dangerous actions she took while suffering a devastating heartbreak. As much as we hate dignifying tabloid stories with a response, we feel we must set the record straight to protect our family. The story that ran in the New York Post on December 8th, and has been subsequently spread across the Internet, is filled with vicious lies and attempts to smear our character and that of our beloved daughter. We ask the public and legitimate media outlets to please ‘consider the source’ and to not further exacerbate our daughter’s situation by repeating and legitimizing these false reports.”
With much appreciation,
Billy Joel & Christie Brinkley

    Im SOOOOO sick of the F******* media trying F*** everyones lives up with stupid lies or twists in a story just to make it sound worse then it is. What is wrong with them? They should all be given a swift punch in the face and kicked to the ground and then ill ask them how it feels to be S*** on when there down on the ground in pain.
    Try reporting something honest and interesting like a squirell water skiing :)

    i didnt hear them deny that she tried to kill herself. i never read the article in the post so what did they say that was lying?

    What??? Tribute deleted another of my comments? I don’t get it, I’ve kept everything very clean lately! What’s up with that? All I said in my comment on this article is that some rag mags have been saying all kinds of wrong things, including that she had a fight with her mother, and that these people are celebrities and should expect to have their lives out there for everybody to see, but that they are human and these magazines shouldn’t be lying about them.

    Nothing has been deleted – we’ve had a lot of technical difficulties today, our apologies. Everything should be running smoothly now.

    Hey demigod,

    Did you ever read “The Old man And The Sea” like you said you would??

    P.S. Hope everything has been going well with you, I’ve been off the site for months as I’ve been sick and also had computer problems!!
