Christie Brinkley has responded via her Facebook account to the tax lien that has been put on her Bridgehampton home.
“I have worked hard, and consider myself very lucky to have been employed since I was 17 years old,” she wrote. “I have also dedicated time energy and resources to giving back as much and as often as possible. I have never had an issue with the IRS. I never intended for my tax returns to be filed late, and I was surprised to learn of it online, on Friday, Dec. 2. I immediately instructed my accountants to remedy the situation, which for most people is a private matter. I regret not paying more attention to my accounting, but I have been and remain focused on my whole family as both my parents navigate serious health issues. There have been slanderous and false accusations associated with this report and it’s the collateral damage to my family, friends and fans that hurts me the most. I am confident that this too shall pass and I am grateful for outpouring of understanding and support I have received.”
Yick. And which one is publicly airing every sordid detail of your ex-husband’s sexual proclivities, and then immediately settling out of court before he could do the same? Where does that fall in the scale of collateral damage to your family?But two points to give her credit for: 1, from a PR perspective, she’s getting right out in front of this issue, and 2, she’s right: this sort of thing usually does get handled privately. But then again, taking your clothes off is done privately and she chose to do that for a living, so there’s only so much we can weep for her.
Rotfl, you are officially my favorite commenter
Firts learned of it on-line!? Liens are not put on property until you have ignored MANY MANY warnings.
