Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley fire back at ‘vicious lies’ about daughter
They maybe divorced, but Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley are united in the fight against what they are calling false reports about their 23-year-old daughter.
The superstar former couple says that a New York Post story about their daughter’s recent suicide attempt was “filled with vicious lies and attempts to smear our character and that of our beloved daughter,” the Associated Press reports.
In an article Tuesday, Dec. 8, The Post claimed Alexa Ray Joel attempted suicide after a fight with her mother during a family vacation ‘from hell’ in Turks and Caicos.
Brinkley and Joel asked the public and media to consider the source before drawing conclusions.
The mean-spirited article makes Brinkley sound like a mix between Joan Crawford and Freddy Krugger.
It claimed the supermodel bashed Billy Joel constantly and urged her daughter to stay “slim at all costs” even if it meant spitting out brownies.
Now what kind of psycho would spit out a brownie?

Survivor star clear of cancer cells
“Survivor” star Ethan Zohn is on his way to being a different kind of survivor.
The winner of “Survivor: Africa” has received holiday cheer in the form of a clear cancer screening, according to PEOPLE.com.
After five weeks of radiation treatment, the strapping 36-year-old recently received word that his body has no active cancer cells.
“This is the best possible news I could have gotten at this stage of my journey,” Zohn says in a PEOPLE.com article.
He thanked his fans for their support and prayers.
Zohn, who won the hit reality show’s third season, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in April.
Despite the great news, his battle is not over. Doctors are still planning to preform a stem-cell transplant operation.
