Divorce Drama And Mudslinging Continues For Christie Brinkley
Christie Brinkley 's ex-husband has accused her of reigniting their divorce drama in order to get publicity for her return to the stage in Chicago. Four years after the couple divorced, the accusations have started flying once more, ABC News reported yesterday (March 7, 2012). 58 year-old architect Peter Cook has accused Brinkley of "throwing (her) family under the bus" as a means of gaining extra publicity for her career.
Brinkley claims that her ex-husband failed to pay the correct amount of child support last year. Cook claims that this was because the children were in his full time care. In response to her claims that he is a bad parent, Cook fronted with a passionate counter-argument, saying "She can use her celebrity to get the media to say 'He's a bad guy.' You know . I'm not trying to sell tickets to anything. I don't want this press. I'm not interested in it. And there's got to be a better way for her to do it. Go do a charitable act or something, get your name in the paper."
Brinkley's attorney, Tom Campagna, released a statement that read "Peter Cook has repeatedly broken the confidentiality agreement that Christie has continued to uphold... Peter embarrassed himself and hurt his family by having an affair with a teenage girl and admitting to an extensive pornography habit." Cook maintains, however, that he is trying to act in the best interests of his children, saying "I'm a good father. I love my kids. I accept my responsibilities with my children. I accept my legal responsibilities to her. I follow the rules and all I ask is that she do the same thing." Brinkley is scheduled to return to Broadway to play Roxie Hart in Chicago this April.
