Christie Brinkley Settles Divorce Case

Staying up through the night, supermodel Christie Brinkley, her husband and now internationally-known cad Peter Cook and their attorneys Robert Cohen and Norman Sheresky finally settled their contentious divorce case at 6:00 a.m. this morning. Brinkley and Cook participated in over a week of trial in Central Islip Supreme Court. Testimony was bitter and embarassing.

The two had been battling over certain financial matters as well as custody and visitation of their two children, Jack and Sailor. Cook’s position as to both money and children was damaged by multiple witnesses reporting extramarital affairs, an internet pornography habit, covert payments of hush money to a mistress and cruel behavior towards the children. A psychologist hired by Brinkley to perform a custody evaluation testified that Cook has severe narcissistic personality disorder.

The agreement gives Brinkley sole legal and physical custody of the kids. She will therefore be allowed to make all final child-rearing decisions herself but must at least consult with Cook first on major issues. Cook get visitation every Wednesday and every other weekend. Brinkley also keeps 18 disputed pieces of real estate and a boat. She agreed to pay Cook $2.1 million, most of which will go towards his attorney’s fees. The other terms of the settlement remain confidential.
