Christie Probes Piano Man's Crash
Billy Joel's erstwhile Uptown Girl, Christie Brinkley, has shown she will get downright dirty when it comes to the safety of their daughter, Alexa Ray.
The supermodel ex-wife of the recently hospitalized singer was seen snapping photos Sunday at the site of his weekend car wreck in Long Island. She has since released a stern statement taking Joel to task for putting their 17-year-old child at risk with his reckless-driving ways.
"The seat Alexa was sitting in only hours before this latest crash was completely destroyed," Brinkley said. "I'm worried about Billy, but like any mother would be, I am alarmed and concerned about my child's safety by this frightening pattern of accidents."
On Saturday, Joel plowed into a tree near Sag Harbor at about 10:30 p.m., on the far east side of the island, after losing control of his Mercedes. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer-songwriter--whose car was so totaled, he had to be pulled from the vehicle by emergency crews--was sped to the local hospital and wound up being airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital to be treated for unspecified injuries.
Though the 53-year-old entertainer was released the following morning and is apparently fine, the crash is his second major accident in less than a year. Last June, while driving late at night, he lost control of another Mercedes-Benz in the same area and sustained minor injuries. That, coupled with his recent stint in the Silver Hill rehab clinic in Connecticut for what he later described as "a prolonged period of overindulgence," has got Brinkley steamed.
Joel could not immediately be reached for comment, but the Sag Harbor cops swear the rocker wasn't drunk at the time of the accident, which might appease his ex-wife a little bit. "We did not have probable cause to arrest him for DWI," Detective Paul Fabiano told New York's Newsday, although he admits Joel was not given a Breathalyzer test.
Brinkley, the inspiration for Joel's late-'80s hit "Uptown Girl," was married to the singer for nine years before they amicably divorced in 1994. She currently has custody of their daughter and is remarried (to architect Peter Cook) but reportedly remains close with Joel, who sees Alexa often. It remains to be seen if that will continue post-accident.
