- Christie Brinkley revealed that Billy Joel's drinking problem led to their divorce after almost 10 years of marriage.
 - Brinkley described Joel's behaviour during his drinking binges as "delusional," and said a specific incident where he falsely accused his band of eating his pasta, which he had eaten, as the final straw.
 - Although they tried therapy, Brinkley stated that "booze was the other woman," ultimately leading her to ask for a divorce.
 - Brinkley's memoir, "Uptown Girl," details her relationship with Joel, and she confirmed that she discussed the book's contents with him beforehand.
 - Despite the difficult ending to their marriage, Brinkley maintains a close relationship with Joel, referring to him as her "soulmate" and expressing enduring love for him.
