Alexa Ray Joel Opens Up About "Dramatic" Suicide Attempt

Dec 6, 2010 09:54 AM

alexapiclogo230.jpgOne year has passed since Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, attempted suicide at her West Village apartment in New York.

Now speaking out on the incident, the 24-year-old tells the NY Post, "I have a flair for the dramatic."

The singer, who tried to kill herself by swallowing a handful of sleeping pills after reportedly breaking up with her boyfriend of five years, rock musician Jimmy Riot, says:

    "I got caught up in my own head. It was a panic. I didn't want to die. I just didn't want to feel what I was feeling at that moment any more."

Joel, now living in NY's Nolita neighborhood, adds:

    "My West Village apartment never felt like my home. It was lonely. I was out of a relationship, and I was struggling with it. It was too big for me. This feels like home."

As for how she's feeling now, she says, "I'm starting to grow a thicker skin and grow into myself, and you learn to accept your quirks and your appearance."

Sounds like she's on the right track!

Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley's daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, was hospitalized last week and is now in stable condition.

Now her famous folks have this to say:

    "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."

Well there ya go!
