Elle Macphersonis opening up about her relationship with the “Piano Man.”
During an appearance onWatch What Happens Live, Macpherson said that while she was dating and living withBilly Joelin the 1980s, he kicked her out of the apartment because of his blossoming relationship withChristie Brinkley, whom he went on to marry.
“Billy Joel said in his autobiography that he brought Christie Brinkley back to his penthouse and you were there waiting for him. What happened that night and how do you look back on your relationship?” a fan asked the supermodel, 54, during the talk show on Thursday.
“There was some overlap,” hostAndy Cohenremarked, referring to Joel’s previous admission that hedated both women at the same time.
Macpherson went on to explain that at the time of the incident, she was living with Joel, 69, in Central Park West in uptown Manhattan.
“I think he was dating Christie at the time, just starting to,” she shared. “So yeah, I got ousted, what can I say?”
She then weighed in on a long-standing question about whether “Uptown Girl” is about her or Brinkley, now 64.
“I think it’s [about] all the uptown girls, put it that way,” she remarked, adding, “he liked tall girls.”
In his 2014 biography,Billy Joel: The Definitive Biography, the singer revealed that prior to marrying Brinkley, he enjoyed a fling with Macpherson, who was then 19 years old.
