Billy Joel Reveals How Feeling ‘Like a Homewrecker' After Having an Affair Drove Him to Depression
Billy Joel is shedding insight into one of the darkest periods of his life in his new documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes. The documentary — which premiered Wednesday, June 4, at the Tribeca Film Festival — featured the 'Piano Man' singer, 76, opening up about the origin of his marriage to his first wife, Elizabeth Weber Small, who he wed in 1973. Elizabeth's ex-husband, Jon Small, was in a band called Atilla with Joel from 1969 to 1970. At the time, Joel had moved in with Elizabeth, Jon and their former couple's son — and Joel had an affair with Elizabeth. 'I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker,' the 'New York State of Mind' singer said, according to People. 'I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset.' Following the affair, Elizabeth ended her relationships with both men and a distraught Joel coped by drinking, explaining that without a place to live, he was 'depressed to the point of almost being psychotic,' he said in the documentary. 'So I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.' I was just in a lot of pain and it was sort of like why hang out, tomorrow is going to be just like today is and today sucks. So, I just thought I'd end it all.' The film featured an appearance by Joel's sister Judy Molinari — then, a medical assistant — who explained after she gave him sleeping pills to help him get sleep, he took all of them and ended up in a coma 'for days and days and days.' 'I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet,' a tearful Molinari said. 'I thought that I'd killed him.' When the six-time Grammy winner finally woke up, his dark thoughts returned. Describing himself as 'very selfish,' Joel said he remembers thinking he wanted to try again — but he wanted to do it 'right.' During his next spiral, the 'Honesty' singer ingested a bottle of lemon Pledge — and it was Jon who ended up rushing the musician to the hospital. 'Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life,' recalled Joel. Joel, who has since forgiven Joel for his indiscretion, shared his own thoughts on the experience., 'He never really said anything to me,' he explained. 'The only practical answer I can give as to why Billy took it so hard was because he loved me that much and that it killed him to hurt me that much.' Afterwards, Joel — who described himself as a 'lost soul' at the time— sought help. He checked himself into an 'observation ward,' remaining there for several weeks. The stay changed the course of his life forever. 'I got out,' he added, 'and I thought to myself, you can utilize all those emotions to channel that stuff into music.' Billy Joel: And So It Goes is set to premiere on HBO in July. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at

Sabrina Carpenter Hitchhikes Through Mayhem in 'Manchild' Music Video: Watch
The post Sabrina Carpenter Hitchhikes Through Mayhem in 'Manchild' Music Video: Watch appeared first on Consequence. Sabrina Carpenter has revealed the official music video for her new song, 'Manchild.' Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the video takes place primarily on the road in the American west. It finds Carpenter hitchhiking and ending up in a variety of scenes and situations ranging from the mundane to the absurd, with dozens of different costumes and looks to match. Get Sabrina Carpenter Tickets Here Throughout, Carpenter ends up in (or around) multiple different vehicles (like a jetski-converted car, an electric mobile chair, a shopping cart sidecar, and a car with trees growing on top), shoots pool with a shotgun, runs with a puppy from gunfire, smokes a cigarette at a gas station while her driver douses himself in gasoline, hitches a ride by roller skating and grabbing onto a massive truck, takes a bubble path with two pigs, and gets in all sorts of crazy spats with the men she encounters on the road. When it ends, she ditches her ride, sticks her thumb back up, and grabs the next available vehicle. Watch the official video below. Carpenter's 'Manchild' arrives as a standalone single after the deluxe release of her 2024 album Short n' Sweet arrived in February. The single is being pressed on a clear transparent 7-inch vinyl along with a B-side called 'inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man.' She teased both the single and its music video earlier this week, posting a short clip of her hitchhiking with the caption, 'this one's about you!!' Carpenter is also heading on tour this summer and fall, with headlining sets to come at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and this weekend's Primavera Sound.

Sabrina Carpenter Drops 'Manchild' and Drags Every Hot, Useless Man to Hell in a Miniskirt
Sabrina Carpenter didn't just drop 'Manchild.' She announced it like a pop culture dominatrix on the side of the road. Hitchhiking in cutoffs and giving truck-stop bombshell, she served denim legs and disdain. And then, on June 5th, she served the song: a stiletto to the chest of every mediocre man who ever asked her to split the bill on a date he planned. This isn't just a bop. It's an existential crisis in a mini skirt. 'Why so sexy if so dumb?' is now in the Feminine Constitution, right between 'We ride at dawn' and 'Block him immediately.' Carpenter's 'Manchild' is less a breakup song and more a burning sage ritual set to a beat. Hot and dumb is officially out. Hot and emotionally literate is trending. Written alongside Amy Allen and pop's moody puppet master Jack Antonoff, 'Manchild' wasn't even supposed to exist. It came after she wrapped her album Short n' Sweet which means it was born purely out of post-project rage and an urgent need to call someone's man a dumbass in 3-part harmony. And honestly? That's art. Pop culture Twitter detectives are already connecting the lipstick-stained dots back to Barry Keoghan, who starred in Sabrina's 'Please Please Please' music video just a year ago. While 'Manchild' might not be directly about him, it's definitely about his vibe hot, chaotic, and emotionally unemployed. Sabrina may be saying 'I swear they choose me,' but fans are saying 'Barry, blink twice if this song's about you.' 'Manchild' is made for blasting with the windows down, fresh heartbreak in your chest, and your bestie screaming backup vocals from the front seat with her vape in hand. Carpenter calls it 'a road trip' but let's be clear. It's the kind of road trip where you leave him on read for six states straight. This isn't a soundtrack. It's an exorcism in rhinestones. Let's break down the poetry of it all. From 'Half your brain just ain't there' to 'I choose to blame your mom,' Carpenter delivers surgical lyrical violence with the sweetness of a southern belle and the energy of a woman who's done explaining basic human decency to men in Carhartt. And don't miss the holy sermon at the end: 'Amen. Hey, men.' If that's not Grammy-worthy, we riot. 'Espresso' was cute. 'Manchild' is couture vengeance. If you're still texting a man who thinks 'therapy is for weak people,' turn this song on, put on a claw clip, and ascend. Sabrina Carpenter just gave us a national anthem for emotionally neglected women everywhere. And if your man thinks it's not about him; it is.
