Christie Brinkley is one of the most renowned models. Over the years, she has often grabbed the headlines for all things personal, and this time it is no different. In a recent conversation, the 72-year-old model revealed that she was rethinking the concept of happily ever after.
It is worth mentioning that Christie has gone through 4 divorces in her life. Amid this, here’s a look at when Christie broke her silence on her ex-husband, Peter Cook, being unfaithful to her after 8 years of marriage.
What did Christie Brinkley say about her ex-husband, Peter Cook’s affair with an 18-year-old?
Christie Brinkley broke her silence about her fourth husband, Peter Cook’s affair in her memoir, Uptown Girl. Revisiting the time, she revealed that it was “the most tortured relationship” she ever had. She reportedly found out about her husband having an affair in 2006 before speaking at a local high school graduation when an unknown man approached her to drop the bombshell. Christie wrote:
“The man said, ‘Excuse me. I need to tell you that arrogant husband of yours has been having an affair with my teenage daughter.’ I was so stunned that I froze. As soon as I saw him, Peter’s eyes were already trained on my face, as he began shaking his head, ‘No.’ When your whole world falls apart, and you realise in a heartbeat you’ve suddenly become the cliché middle-aged woman whose husband is having an affair with a much (much) younger woman, what do you do?”
Christie eventually got the full story from the teenager’s father, who was a local police officer. She revealed that when she looked into the crowd, she saw “mouths agape”, which reminded her of “The Scream” oil painting. Social Life Magazine, with whom Christie spoke in celebration of her memoir, wrote, “They all knew. Maybe some judged. Maybe some didn’t. But in that suspended moment, she felt faint, exposed… as the floor might drop beneath her.”
Following this, she decided to investigate with her girlfriends and dig through Peter’s computer. Soon they found a “labyrinth” of documents, including “a panoply of incriminating photos and porn accounts” that she never knew existed. Christie wrote:
“I was good at guessing passwords, and soon enough, a panoply of frightening email exchanges, incriminating photos, and porn accounts populated the screen like fireworks. It was so insane that it was almost funny, and soon enough, the three of us were doubled over in laughter, as printouts of girls in X-rated poses began piling up on the floor faster than trash outside a greasy takeaway.”
Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook’s split
According to reports, Christie and Peter’s split resulted in a six-year court battle. At the time, Peter claimed that his ex-wife could use her celebrity status to paint him out as the bad guy; however, he did not want this press and was not interested in it. He also urged her to “go do a charitable act of something” to get her name in the paper and to “stop throwing your family under the bus.” Soon, Christie’s lawyer Tom Campagna shared a statement as a rebuttal, saying:
“Peter Cook has repeatedly broken the confidentiality agreement that Christie has continued to uphold. Peter is the only one to go on national television spewing sexist, disgraceful, demonstrably false lies, which gives a taste of what Christie has had to endure since Peter betrayed his marriage vows. Peter embarrassed himself and hurt his family by having an affair with a teenage girl and admitting to an extensive pornography habit.”
