Joel, Brinkley issue statement about daughter

By Alexandra Heilbron on December 10, 2009 | 16 Comments


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 🙂

    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.

    We all work with Storage area Web server 2003 and also 08 with ESX5. VMware basically will not support Safe-keeping Server 03 about ESX5, but it really operates. i actually have not experienced any kind of effectiveness troubles and so i have never dug all around inside logs, even though. natural meats possibly be experiencing numerous problems u easily need ideas about it. Coming from the things i could see we live ready to go great. I carry out wish to mention that most of us do the following: – Increase however VMkernel for each networking playing card within the VMware coordinator. – Nominate just one single Multilevel playing card to each VMKernel. – Be sure the brand new VMKernels usually are lively for any ISCSI HBA. – Arranged the multipath policy to each ISCSI datastore to Around Robin.
