Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley are slamming a New York Post report that daughter Alexa Ray attempted suicide after fighting with Brinkley on a family vacation as "false." The pair released a statement yesterday saying the 23-year-old’s “dangerous actions” came “while suffering a devastating heartbreak,” the AP reports. Alexa Ray’s rep says she is feeling better and spending time with family.
