Never much into drugs, he self-medicated with booze and cigarettes. He had an epiphany: “The people I was locked up with were never going to be able to overcome their problems, whereas mine were all self-made,” he told Schruers. Another family member found him, and this time, Joel checked himself into a mental hospital, where he stayed for three weeks. “I thought to myself, ‘Oh, great, I couldn’t even do this right.’ It was another failure.”Ī few weeks later, Joel tried again, this time drinking furniture polish. “The next thing I remember, I woke up in the hospital and learned that they had pumped my stomach,” Joel told Schruers. Alarmed, Small raced to Joel’s mom’s house in Hicksville and found Joel on the floor. Not long after Weber took off, Joel overdosed on Nembutal, then called Small to apologize.
He was 21, broke, friendless, loveless and “crashing at my mom’s place again, which is abject failure.” When Small discovered the affair, Weber left them both, disappearing for weeks. Almost like a European-type - not a typical American girl.” intelligent and not afraid to speak her mind, but could also be seductive. “She wasn’t like a lot of the other girls I knew at that time who had taken home ec and cooking classes,” he told Schruers. Elizabeth Weber was married to Small, and they had a baby son, Sean - but Joel was knocked out. Joel met his first wife in 1970, through his friend and bandmate Jon Small. His three tortured marriages - and the music they’ve inspired - are testament to that. His song The Stranger, is also about Elizabeth Weber. He claimed he was impressed by her intelligence. Clearly he wrote these songs when he was deeply in love with her, beguiled and totally unaware of her ultimate intentions. Male or female.īilly Joel’s song ‘Just The Way You Are’ is also about Elizabeth Weber. Seems most people get spellbound by beautiful sociopaths. What puzzles me is, Elizabeth Weber wasn’t even beautiful. Cause you will barely survive any kind of relationship with them. Yes men.beware of women with sociopath attributes. What a devious dangerous horrible woman Elizabeth Weber was. But her brother Frank was able to avoid re-paying it by declaring bankruptcy. He eventually discovered her and her brother Frank ultimately siphoned 60 million of his money. Trying to get him to sign over all of his rights to her.
So, in typical sociopathic style, Elizabeth Weber turned up at his bedside with a contract in her hands. Ended up in hospital doped and medicated, really high. And to win her back he offered to buy her an Upper Eastside apartment and an new Alpha Romeo car.īefore he was able to give her these further monetary gifts. When his singing career was on fire.Įlizabeth Weber and Billy Joel split at some stage. She brought her equally money hungry ruthless brother Frank in on deals so he could siphon off money too.Īnd they made so much money from exploiting Billy Joel. ‘Yes, But do I get publishing rights too?’ He asked her if she liked it,Īnd as a typical money grabbing sociopath that she was. He wrote this song Always A Woman, and a year later played it to her on her birthday. His relationship with her caused him to attempt suicide at least twice. Unfortunately she became his wife and manager. She was his drummer's wife, when their affair started. Billy Joel didn’t know this at the time because he was young. (The medieval Italian family of extremely ruthless financial tycoons)Įlizabeth Weber was a tough arrogant outspoken manipulative gold digger. He has since described her and her brother Frank, as the Borgias. Regarding this beautiful song, Billy Joel has stated that this song was written about his 1st wife Elizabeth Weber.
