Bianchi
The doe-eyed beauty at the center of Christie Brinkley's divorce case took the stand yesterday as the star witness and dished on the sordid affair that was ultimately the death knell for the supermodel's marriage......and even wore a rosary on her wrist. Bianchi spoke with a tiny, shaken voice as she recounted the intimate details of their tawdry trysts and the money he showered her with. She met Cook when she was just a 15-year-old clerk in a toy store in 2003. In 2005 Cook hired the young stunner to work at his Hamptons architecture firm when she was just 18. After months of flirting - they finally had sex that spring, she testified. But she denied Cook's claim that she just stripped and asked for sex one day. Bianchi recalled a couple less liaisons than the dozen times Cook said he bedded her. "Ten, at the most, I would say." Bianchi's stepdad, Brian Platt, described telling Brinkley of the affair at the 2006 graduation ceremony at Southampton HS, where Brinkley gave the commencement address. He said when he outed Cook in front of his wife, the architect "looked like he urinated in his pants. I did tell him that his day was coming and it was coming pretty soon," said Platt.

Good for Christie Brinkley for exposing this guy to the public! The world needs to know what goes on out there. Like many others, he wanted to have both his wife and his mistress.

At her news conference following this first day at trial-—Christie said she was hearing a lot of the sordidness for the first time.
Was hard not to feel sorry for her. Hubby’s activities are a bit much, even in the permissive, fully fornicating, liberal world Christie lives in.
Good for the stepdad.
Setting off a bomb in public and raining down destruction on many people is good? This was the stepdad's envy and resentment striking out and was a wicked thing to do. I'm not defending Cook but the stepdad's public ambush wasn't any better.
He kept it non-violent. I’m sure the stepdad considered a number of more unsavory options for Cook.
Who is Christie Brinkley, must be somebody special, people keep posting threads acout her. I’ve never heard of her.
What did Cook do to the stepdad? Is the world a better place now for what the stepdad did or was it a selfish destructive act that left a mess?
Did the abortion loving CB ever have any realistic reason to expect that her fourth husband would be faithful to her? Did she not know his character? Did he not know her character?
Brinkley is the worst? How do you figure? She wasn’t unfaithful to her husband and she didn’t engage in perverted sex on a webcam. Could she have divorced him quietly? No, he refused to split their assets evenly or grant her full custody of their children, and I’m sure you’d agree that it would not be good for kids to be in the custody of a sick bastard like Cook. So since he would not do this in a reasonable manner, they had to go to court. And of course, when one goes to court, one drags out every gun in the arsenal. In Brinkley’s case the arsenal included evidence about his disgusting activities.
I’m glad to see him getting publicly humiliated.
How old are you? She was a very popular model in the 1970’s and married at the time to Billy Joel. Have you heard of him?
I said the -70’s but it may have been in the 80’s.
She had a bit cameo on two Nat Lampoon Vacations, and a Billy Joel video.
At least she didn't expose her genitalia like the current famous ones do. Although this latest escapade is coming close.
If many parents knew what their little princesses were
doing,they’ed be shocked to say the least!
I don’t feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for her children. She has 3 children, 3 different men, a child born in ever month with a “J”, on the 1st or 2nd of the month. She was a Democratic delegate from NY in 2000.
Her children do not deserve all this crap, they are innocent in all this. The girl who testified was not innocent either but at least she seems to understand that now or, at any rate, is telling the truth. I suppose she will now go back to pursuing her “music career”. Ha!
Her fourth husband? Is she a slow learner?
I’m 71 an never been into music or movies.
So she pays her bills on the first of every month? Minus 9 months I’d say she has a large tax bill in April and a lot of summer vacation bills.
(Think about it...)
Cheers!
Yes, you'd think that after two failed marriages she would either give up entirely or get some therapy, because clearly something is wrong.
She's probably guilty of being a dumb as a rock former model who chooses horrible mates.
Brinkley’s a Bush-hater and an anti-American. People like her should never be surprised when they are betrayed by those who are so much like them. Nihilism begets nihilism.
Landfill Troll?
Wow, look at her brains! /sarcasm

Before the split.
He looks like a relative of Jay Leno ;)
Man: Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?
Woman: Well, yes...
Man: Would you sleep with me for $20?
Woman: $20? What do you think I am?
Man: We know what you are, we are just haggling over the price...
“Landfill Troll?”
What in the hell are talking about or saying, newby?
Google is your friend.
“Google is your friend.”
Not mine!
I guess I should have said she is a ...
Sorry. But if she needs consolation, I am available 8^,
Christie Brinkley was the sole model in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for several years running. That's where I first heard of her. Then, she was married to the one-time pop star Billy Joel. His song, Uptown Girl, was said to be about Christie, and the video that played on MTV (that was back when MTV played music (the M in MTV used to stand for Music)) featured Billy Joel as a gas-station mechanic, and Christie was the pretty girl customer. She became more famous, at one time licensing her name to some sunglasses line, and Billy Joel's music pretty much sucked forever after they got divorced. Now he is pretty much washed up, since his life is pretty much worthless adfter having been married to Christie Brinkley, then divorcing her. Christie's father was a producer named Don Brinkley, and that may have helped her get started in the fame business.
Dang. That head of his looks like it escaped from Easter Island.
And she’s hawking some exercise gizmo on TV with Chuck Norris!
I disagree....
Busting the bastard in public, in front of his wife was the most effective manner......and for him, the safest.
No attempt to blackmail, No exposure to being bought off with a bribe, No risk of being killed to be silenced,
Think of it a turning on a light, and watching the cockroaches scamper....
“Im 71 an never been into music or movies.”
I could never imagine going thru life and never having the experience of listening to “The House of the Rising Sun” or seeing “We Were Soldiers.” How sad.
“The House of the Rising Sun or seeing We Were Soldiers. How sad.”
Never heard of either one and don’t consider anything sad about it.
I was forced into music when I was young by my mother but was allowed to give it up after I played in the L.A. Junior philharmonic orchastra in rhe 5th grade.
Music is totally distracting and anyone that worked for me that brought a radio to work after being warned not to was fired on the spot.
Never in my life could stand any form of fiction and have successfully avoided it since even before i was in school.
