Billy Joel was the opening act for a friend of mine way back in the day. Even before he was rich and famous, he was crabby and disagreeable, even to the headliner musicians for whom he was opening! One would think one would have put on a facade of pleasantness when one is presented with what could be “THE BIG BREAK”! LOL (I know I always DID! )
I can’t imagine growing up with such a person as my Daddy!
Prayers for this pretty and talented young lady.
He had an unpleasant childhood. Growing in a single parent home was probably unusual in the 1950s.
The mother ... well, the mother seems to like her drama and attention, too. Poor kid really never had a chance. I’ve come to see Brinkley as despicable. So now it sounds like her dad is, too. She looks more like dad than mom, which had to be difficult.
I would pray that she find peace in her heart. It has to be a terrible thing living in that bubble, despite the worldly possessions and celebrity, and even the talent.
