Ugly Brinkley Divorce Gets Even Uglier

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 8th 2009 11:08AM

Despite their divorce being official for a year, things are far from amicable for supermodel Christie Brinkley and her ex-husband Peter Cook. The two were in court on Wednesday sparring over terms of their settlement, with each accusing the other of ill-doing involving the couple's children and asking that each other be jailed.

Cook and his attorneys claim that Brinkley is attempting to sabotage the father's relationship with his children. He claims that Brinkley refused to turn over son Jack's passport in a timely fashion, which caused him to miss a school trip to Israel that was supposed to be chaperoned by Cook.

"She is doing everything she can to ruin my relationship with my kids ... I am trying to move on with my life and I wish she would do the same," Cook told the New York Post.

Due to this and other violations that Cook is claiming, his legal team is
Brinkley's lawyer Peter Caronia calls Cook's claims "without merit and totally disingenuous," saying that Brinkley was late in handing the passport over because of the death of a friend's mother and Cook's refusal to pick it up himself.

Cook asked for Brinkley to be imprisoned and forced to take anger management classes, and also wants additional child visitation rights. Brinkley claims that Cook is in the wrong for talking about their case on talk shows and also letting his new girlfriend to spend time with their children. She also wants Cook jailed, and asked for reimbursement of legal fees and to be paid from the sale of the couple's old boat.

The divorce between Brinkley and Cook turned very ugly and very public when Cook's affair with a teenage store clerk became public.

To David - you're joking right?? you do realize that the movie "Vacation" is like 20 years old, right?? did you expect her to stay the same?? you're a jerk. she looks great for 53!!

By Franklen

You've been reading too many fairy tales. People with money and fame don't marry for love. Their marriages are more like business mergers, measuring equity of initial investment, and monitoring return on that investment. When a divorce (or divestiture) turns acrimonious like this one, there is the added factor of publicity for the lagging of aging performers, be they models or actors.

Peter Cook is a fool, what can you say?

By Bob

And Brinkley isn't??....LOL!!!! The only ones suffering now are their children.....

By Gina

David...you're a pure ass for that comment!

By dawn

He should ecome friends with Jon Gosselin after all douches should stick together

By Ron

Are you a man hater????

By russ

This womem has a terrible habit of marrying millionaires and divorcing them. I would guess she is absolutley hard to get along with. She has lots of money from her own accomplishments but she has made a fortune getting divorced from all these men.

By yoga girl

Cook actually had no money. He got half of hers!!

By sharon

Of all the men that she has married, she has been the one that had made the money. Ricky Tauban was bankrupt, and Peter Cook is a successful architect but he makes nothing compared to brinkley's money.

By troy aikman

Uh, ding dong...she was married to Billy Joel. Joel has a home in the Hamptons and HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!!

By ellieswenson

She divorced him because he was cheating on her with a 19 year old girl. HE was at fault, not her. But now the children are caught in the middle of their parents' bitterness, and THAT is not wise or fair.

By Jizzy

That is total nonsense. Christy began to withhold sex. She is not the innocent party. Many men will stray when the wife completely turns her faucet off. She simply seems like an impossible bith to co-exist with.

By YaYa

Let's not forget that Cook has a habit of "seducing" young women (which is what led to the divorce in the first place)-- certainly he is not above slander or any other means of hurting Brinkley (emotionally) because he got caught.

By JEREMY

You and I are ABSOLUTELY on the same page here.Do you remember how HAPPY she was when she married BILLY JOEL and birthed his daughter? She deserved every bit of that happiness. He even wrote a song about her and put her in his music video("UPTOWN GIRL"). That moment will live forever,long after this piece of garbage is rotting in hell.Cook SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW FOR STATUTORY RAPE,anyway. TRUE OR FALSE?

By Kay

She hasn't made money divorcing these men, she has the money from her days of being the world's #1 model, calendars, books, workout tapes, and investing in real estate. She has way more money than Cook does of her own. She is beautiful, classy, not self absorbed and he is a self absorbed, personality disordered, cheater. He is all about himself where she is about the kids, charity work, anti nuclear weapons, etc. She is way better than he will ever be. Go Christy!!

By caeser

Most marriages end in divorce The lawyers are counting on it In fact they have a whole branch dedicated to it called matrimonial law The only winners in a divorce are the lawyers They bleed you dry Don't get married you will be a lot richer and happier
