She's Learned Her Lesson

Filed under: Love Line > Christie Brinkley

wenn1539408.jpg

Looks like Christie Brinkley is ready to celebrate now that her divorce to hornball Peter Cook is finalized.

Brinkley says in a new interview, "I'm free! I've got my sweet freedom! And I don't mean that boat!"

The Sweet Freedom Brinkley is referring to is a $250,000 boat that was a big point in the divorce case. Seems Cook loved that book.

And now, unfortunately for him, the boat that Brinkley most likely paid for all by herself, will get sold.

Oh, and Brinkley is also stuck paying her fourth husband $2.1 million.

He shouldn't even be getting ANY money!

As for a possible marriage number 5, she claims that's not happening.

Brinkley says, "I'm not going to marry again. I know too much about the marriage laws and divorce laws. Getting married again would not be a very intelligent thing to do."

Of for the divorce case, Brinkley adds, "I was fighting for my family. I think when you're fighting for your family's well-being, almost anything you have to go through is worth it. What I was interested in was custody and decision-making."

Well, next time try to find someone who's not gonna be after you for your money. And get one hell of a pre-nup!

    Christie is a no good rotten two face cheater. Nothing like calling the kettle black. What goes around comes around. Christie remember when you cheated how does it feel now! Your just as bad as Peter. It sucks as the kids suffered through the dirty laundry. Your not a good mother point blank. Men will be men looking at porn. Like you never have? Just that he got caught and you didn't! You'll get yours back in spades………

    I'm just like Perez. I think every man is secretly gay. So I will take Peter and keep him safe and warm. Isn't that right, Perez - there really are no straight men anywhere.

    WTF, Why in the hell should she pay him a damn dime. He cheated on her, he should fork over everything he has to her. The sleazy bastard.

    Ummm, sweetie you got married and divorced FOUR TIMES. Ms. Brinkley is not doing her part in breaking the stupid model stereotype.

    So, how long until she is married again? Maybe the 5th times the charm. This woman is totally and completely motivated by money, and I am totally on TEAM COOK! That man was kind enough to adopt her son Jack from her third husband whom she admitedly divorced because he didn't have as much money as he claimed to (look it up). I feel no sympathy for her, and nobody else should either.

  12. Me says – reply to this

    The reason the divorce settled so quickly is that apparently the two private detectives that Christie had hired to tail Peter for the past year obtained damning video evidence that would have been "explosive," according to them. And it wasn't sexual either. It apparantly has to do with the way he treats his kids, and activities he's involved in while his children are there, some of which they said would be considered illegal. So they said his reptulation was already in ruins, but this REALLY would have been the nail in the coffin. As it is, Alexa Ray said that Peter Cook once shoved her head in bucket of water. He doesn't sound like the best dad.

    I think ultimately BOTH parties are at fault. He's not the angel she used to lie that he was in interviews, and she's not the best either. To me it wouldn't matter if she cheated in the past….it's about whatever was going on with the kids. Unfortunate for her that she lied in the media about how wonderful a father he was, because that did come back to bite her. whoops.

    Does Peter Cook have any money of his own. With his life style; 2.1 million will not last very long. Internet fees are skyrocketting! I can imagine his architect firm will not be as popular with people knowing that he jacks off in front of a web cam. I would be afraid to touch things that came off his desk! He relly did not get much for a man who is used to living the HIGH LIFE. He has to be dirt with the jet-setters.

    I know alot of people are on Christie's side, but I'm telling ya, there's something wrong with this woman. 4 husbands? No one will stay with her? They all cheated on her with YOUNGER WOMEN?!?!?!?! Billy Joel got himself a 20 year old (married her when she was 22, I think), Cook is cruising porn sites and screwing 18 year olds?

    Why? What is Christe not fulfilling that ALL her husbands had to find others??? Show me a beautiful woman, I show you a man tired of her. Christie Brinkley isn't as innocent as some of you want to believe. Wait until Cook writes his book like Madonna's brother. The "ice princess" Christie will be exposed.

    funny how if a man divorced a woman and say she was sleeping with your best friend. Half of what you got, she gets or if you have not much, she gets the house and you get to live in a part of the city were you can get killed.

    Seems that is the way life is, hmmmm. guess women don't have to give half.

    As long as we as a society label men a certain way and women a certain way, will we ever truly be equal? or is that all b.s.?

    You can have a nice companion without getting married. It's over-rated and if you split up, it's a lot more difficult than if you were just in a relationship and had your own residences. If people do not want children, there is no point in hooking up legally. In fact, it's really stupid.

    Congrats, Christie!

    Now you can take the kids to California and start a new life for your
    family there. Let Peter Cook rot in hell in the Hamptons with NO MONEY.
    Perez, the 2 million he received is only going to pay his legal fees.
    The ego maniac looks like a bloated alcoholic and now he is broke!!
    He'll have to go back to selling drugs at gay truck stops in order to
    pay for internet porn which he loves.

    "Seems Cook loved that book." Book? what book? Do you mean boat?

    I'm thinking, this is your 'job'. This is all you have. You write very little so should be able to do it without making stupid mistakes, all the time. Or, are you on drugs? I bet you're doped up and just lame and clueless because of it. That would explain your stupid stories and lame comments.

    This fucking cunt has had 4 bad marriages! All she talks about is their "perfect life as a family and how could he ruin it". Listen douchebag!! Your probably a fuckin pain in the ass to deal with and wont give it up to your husband. Why wouldnt he go elsewhere? I dont agree with him going after a teenager though.
    Message to all you woman!!!! Just because your hot and everybody worships your ass doesnt mean a guy wont get sick of you! Examples…..Halle Berry, Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, and Jessica Alba. All these woman are considered the "most beautiful" but yet their men have all cheated on them. Perez, you may be skinnier on the outside but we all know you'll be a fatty again real soon!

    Re: stefy
    Maybe there is something wrong with her, but say she's one crazy lady, or just sucks at giving guys what they need–that's NO reason to cheat or spend $3000 a month on porno. If she sucks, and couldn't satisfy him, maybe HE should have been honest and gotten out of that marriage sooner. And for the record, Billy didn't cheat on Christie with his current wife. That'd be disgusting seeing as how she would have been close to ten years old at the time of the Joel-Brinkley divorce. And he dated others before marrying Katie. Bottom line, there's NO excuse for cheating. And you can look at it from Christie's point of view. If you say that Peter is justified in cheating, then maybe Christie was too. Seeing as how Peter spent all of his time playing with his stick and banging 18 year olds, Christie OBVIOUSLY wasn't being satisfied either, but did she cheat on him? NO

    The bitch is on her 4th Divorce. She must be a bad picker of men but don't worry this bitch will find another guy to rip off and Divorce again. Yeah, sure …. it's always the guys fault while she ALWAYS gets the kids, houses and money. Give me a fucking break.

    If she is giving him 2.1 million he can buy the boat from her if he loves it so much. I would have liked to have heard the things he was afraid the detectives were going to say. I wish her all the best and believe most women are gullible, she just happens to be famous. I think women should stick together more, but if a man is involved he is the good guy in most of your eyes. I can tell most of you are young and naive.

    Something about her is off. It's like she's empty and souless.
    Why is it that with all her beauty and fortune, the one thing she doesn't have and can't hold onto is love?
    I bet that when they are older, even her children will dump her.
    Christie may be celebrating her "dirty" victory and feel good about how she got revenge on a man, who, like many others before him, just stopped loving her,but, in the end she will wind up a bitter, lonely, old woman.

    Re: wildw – Wee don't know if Christie cheated on Cook. But one thing is certain, she is in need of mental help herself. There is a fakeness about her that can't be ignored and behind that pretty smile and really good plastic surgery is a bitter, anger middle-aged woman.

    Cook make have lost in the short term, but in the long term it will be her children who will lose out. Her son doesn't even belong to Cook, she took him away from his father, her 3rd husband, who she married quick and divorce quicker. I'm not saying infidelity is good nor Cook is good (he's a cad for sure), but Christie needs to stop acting like she's the triumphant victim because she's not. Remember, we all thought Charlie Sheen was the bad guy until we learned more about Denise Richards and realized she's nuts too.

    Christie Brinkley is a fraud and fake….why would any woman, who supposedly puts her kids first, CONTINUE to live with man who was so "abusive and mean" to Alexa and the other two ? Why did she testify that her kids were "her uptmost concern, and therefore, she wouldn't and couldn't be dating anyone right now" Yet, just a few days later, Miss Liar is ready to date again, and see "what the summer brings" ! Why did the trial end, just before we find out how many lovers "Miss Perfect" has had ? Or what a control freak she really is ?? Peter Cook and Christie Brinkley BOTH got what they deserved- each other. What's really sad, though, is all of the Hamptonites that think they have to kiss her ass, to stay on her good side !! (Oh, yeah, I would have said that it was sad for her kids, but they're already ruined any way. Hopefully, "Mommy" will have a few pennies left for their continued shrink sessions for YEARS to come)

  47. Patti says – reply to this

    This woman is a complete ass and the only person she cares about is herself. She portrays herself as such a "victim"….what does she think her kids are in this mess? And what kind of mother would watch their child be abused yet stay with the father, smile and give interviews saying what a wonderful person he is and that he's "their rock. She's a psychopath.

    And you have to love how that pathetic, crossed eyed loser Jill Rappaport runs to her side like a loyal kiss ass. I'm sure Christie bought her off long ago too.

    Hey Christie, your kids see what a loser you are and I have no doubt you'll be a lonely old bitter woman living with 75 cats someday. Hopefully the kids will favor their Dads. Even though they are losers too they are better than her.

    To all these people who are questioning if something is wrong with her because she has had four husbands. People, beautiful women sometimes have difficult times with relationships because they are seen as objects. Trophy wife, anyone? Many men are attracted to beautiful women simply because they want other men to be jealous of the object on their arm. But men also get tired of objects. So, I imagine, being one of the most beautiful women in the world, it is a bit difficult to discern whether or not someone truly loves you or whether or not they are using you as an object.

  49. Quid says – reply to this

    duh is a good name for you.
    No one is questioning whether something is wrong with Christie because she's been married 4 times…..although it doesn't make her seem stable. If you took the time to read what everyone wrote, you'd see that her mental health is being questioned because of the way she presented herself throughout her court battle.
    Also, someone beautiful on the outside may not be so beautiful on the inside.

    Brinkley came out of court smiling and holding up a homework project that she claims that SHE did for the son. That was her proof of being an involved parent. This woman has a screw loose. From what I have heard those kids had nannies until last year…no doubt she got rid of them in time for the trial so she could claim that she is raising them all on her own. She needs to turn off the fake smile and fake personality and go have her ahead seriously examined.

    She'll be marry again for the fifth time, you wait and see. If we learned anything from this trial it is that this woman has serious mental issues as does that father. Both of these kids will be a mess in a few more years.

    No, next time try not to find: 1. an alcoholic narcissistic musician, or a 2. peter pan narcissistic never worked a day in his life playboy, or a 3. porn loving narcissistic babysitter fucker. Hmmm, what does Christie have in common with these men? (narcissism)

    Her gigantic ego makes her repulsive and clearly gets in the way of making the best decisions for her kids. Anyone who could continue to marry the type of men she has, have kids with them and then buy the kids from them outright should be committed to a mental ward. I wonder how many more times she can blame all of her failed relationships on the guy?

    I hope she does everyone a favor and locks herself in one of those 18 properties she won in court and never comes out again. Her fake smile and "always thinking she is on the runway" poses make me sick.

    Geeze, some of y'all are dumb. Christie prolly does need some therapy, but then again so do most people….but to say ALL of her husbands are narcissts is ignorant and stupid. Seeing how only 1 got a actually diagnosis. The woman just needs to focus on getting herself better and firstly, take care of her children. We've all got issues people! But it doesn't mean that everyone's gota damn mental/personality disorder!
