Christie Brinkley Granted Divorce, Kids, Fondest Wish
I’ve refrained from writing about this simply because I wanted to wait until it was over and then do a wrap-up. Well, suddenly, it’s over and I’m not prepared! Okay, here it is: Peter Cook is horny and Christie Brinkley has problems picking appropriate men to marry. I think that sums it up.
After dragging out her almost-ex’s dirty laundry for all to see, including her children, the former model claims that a settlement in this case is all she ever wanted in the first place:
Triumphantly addressing the media after reaching a surprise settlement Thursday morning in her divorce trial from Peter Cook, Brinkley called the settlement “a very bittersweet moment.” She added: “It really is the death of a marriage, but it’s also I think a new start for all of us and I’m very pleased with the results today.” [...]
“I was here fighting for custody,” she said. “I think a mother’s greatest fear is somebody trying to take her children, trying to take custody of her children. That’s what I was up against. And so I’ve won custody and decision-making, and that’s really all I ever wanted.”
When asked whether she has any regrets about the ugly trial going on as far as it did she said, “I really didn’t have a choice. I was trying to settle the day I learned about the absolute truth about the facts, and I wanted to settle but unfortunately we could not reach an agreement until 6 o’clock this morning.”
In the trial we learned more than we ever wanted to know about Peter’s peter’s activities, including the claim that he’s had sex with thirty-five women (whether that is an accumulated total is still in question), he likes to pay for internet pr0n, and he was boinking a then eighteen-year-old in his office. Well. Makes for nice dinner-table conversation, doesn’t it?
I know that divorce battles can get ugly. Really ugly. And sometimes you do have to come out fighting for what you believe is the right thing to do for yourself and your children. It takes two people to make a marriage and it takes two people to make a divorce. But now these kids (he adopted one of hers and they have one biological child together) have to grow up knowing that daddy likes to watch movies of naked women on the computer. It does make me wonder if part of what Christie wanted to do was embarrass Peter as much as he embarrassed her.
Two screwed-up people came together and made a screwed-up marriage which turned into a screwed-up divorce.
Regardless, it seems to be over, and now Christie can move on to her next ill-chosen marriage. Really, Cover Girl, after dragging out his dirty little secrets for the world to scoff at, I think you should stop and take a good look in the mirror and fix your own obvious problems.

He cheated on Cristie Brinkley? Idiot.
Did she spread the dirty laundry all over for even her kid to see, yeah…but lets face it, their dad is a perv. Truth. And some jabs for being a snake-in-the-grass scumbag, yep. Good job Christie. Marry a decent man next time.

Actually, she has said she never intends to marry again. Whether she keeps that promise or not remains to be seen, but she did publicly say it, anyway.
As for her dragging his secrets out, well, if he didn’t want these things exposed in court, he should have tried harder to settle with her. I don’t blame her in the least. He wanted to play, she played back, his dirty little weird pervy secrets are now public knowledge. Imagine what fun will be had for years and years when some new chick he’s trying to date Googles his name…
