Christie and Cook, when she thought they were happy. I could always see how creepy he was. Poor Christie.
Christie Brinkley broke down in tears yesterday as she told a court how her life 'vanished' on the day she learned her husband was cheating on her with an 18-year-old employee.
The 54-year-old former supermodel was at a school graduation ceremony in June 2006 when the teen's stepfather tapped her on the shoulder and told her: 'That husband of yours won't knock it off. He's having an affair with my teenage daughter.'
Sobbing, Miss Brinkley said she looked at her husband Peter Cook,
sitting in the front row of the graduation ceremony,
where she was a guest speaker, and thought:
'My God, it's true. He did do that."
'His face was so tense. He was saying "no".
I knew from his face.
It explained the feelings I'd been trying not to feel.'
She said that was the day 'my life as I knew it had vanished.
That was also the day that my world was completely shattered'.

Repulsive puke Peter Cook tearfully admitted to "pleasuring himself in front of a webcam," as well as USING Christie's 13 year old son's identity to lure young girls into sex."
"I found conversations of him trying to lure girls saying he would take them shopping, saying he would pay them if he could see their face,' she said.
Asked how she felt about finding out about his porn obsession, she added: 'I felt really stupid. Why didn't I know? Why wasn't I aware of this? I felt humiliated. I felt shattered. I just felt grief-stricken.'
Brinkley claimed Cook threatened to commit suicide several weeks after she discovered his affair.
She said Cook phoned her up in a hysterical state: 'He was sobbing and said he was driving erratically and that, "I'm going to drive into a tree."
'I said, "Pull over. You need help." He said, "No, I'm going to kill myself." Then I spent the rest of the day trying to find a place he could go to get help.'
After a brief cross-examination by Cook's lawyer, Brinkley denied suggestions she was a bitter ex-wife.
She said: 'I think a certain amount of anger would be perfectly normal."
"After all I supported this man for almost ten years, he never paid for a single thing and he lived a wonderful life... all the while he was carrying on like this behind my back. It goes without saying that there was a certain amount of anger.'
Brinkley was giving testimony a day after she came face to face with her estranged husband's former lover Diana Bianchi, now 21, at their divorce hearing in Long Island, New York.
During his evidence on Wednesday, Cook said he had given Bianchi a $300,000 pay-off and had extramarital trysts in his office and Brinkley's Hamptons homes.
Brinkley said yesterday that she told Cook to give her his computer passwords 'if you've got nothing to hide'.
She found emails there from Bianchi (below)
and the porn sites Cook visited. 'I know a lot of men look at pornographic sites,' she said.
But, in Cook's case, she said he was trying 'to connect with people' in their neighborhood.
It was not a voyeur site. It was a meeting site,' she said. 'It was more than I could bear."

Creepy Cook had testified that he and Brinkley used pornography 'to get the mood going'.
Cook's lawyer attacked Brinkley's emotional testimony, referring to her acting background.
Brinkley responded with a laugh, declaring, 'If you want to call me an actress, that's fine. I'm no Meryl Streep, but I have been in a very successful movie.' (Brinkley had a small role in successful 1983 comedy National Lampoon's Vacation.)
Cook met Miss Bianchi while she was working at a Hamptons toy store in 2004.
Miss Brinkley cried repeatedly on the stand yesterday as she explained how her once happy marriage fell apart.The blonde ex-model, who inspired ex-husband Billy Joel's hit Uptown Girl, said she first became suspicious when she found a brunette hair in an unmade bed at an empty house she owned with her husband.
Although he denied having an affair, she said that in the last two years of their decade-long relationship she felt like 'a burden' to him.
Even when she went into hospital with an infection, she said Cook barely seemed to care.
She described returning from the 2006 graduation ceremony at Southampton High School near the couple's mansion in the exclusive Hamptons enclave on Long Island and asking Cook for the car keys for her to drive away and leave him.
Christie Brinkley's husband spent $4,000 a month on internet porn sites using their 13-year-old son's identity, a court heard yesterday.
The husband, 49-year-old SCUMBAG Peter Cook, also had an affair with a teenage employee, slut Diana Bianchi, below.

During opening arguments at Central Islip Court on New York's Long Island, Miss Brinkley's lawyer Stephen Cohen said Cook visited websites devoted to sexual swingers - using their son Jack's name.
Jack is Miss Brinkley's son from her third marriage, to property developer Richard Taubman.
Cook, her fourth husband, adopted Jack shortly after they wed in 1996.

She fought to have the hearing held in public, saying her children needed to know the truth about the break-up.
The couple are battling for custody of Jack and his sister Sailor, ten.
Four-times-married Miss Brinkley also has a 22-year-old daughter, Alexa Rae, from her marriage to Billy Joel, her second husband.
The 54-year-old mother of three - the inspiration for Joel's hit Uptown Girl - intends to bring 44 witnesses in the case.
Her first was 21-year-old Diana Bianchi, whose affair with Cook ended the marriage.
Miss Bianchi was 18 and working as Mr Cook's personal assistant at his architectural practice when the affair happened. He met her in early 2005 when she was 18 and working at a toy store.
Their affair began that March, around the time he hired her.
She was paid a salary of around $10,000 to type magazine articles on to the company's website.
He also left her cash payments in various spots $250 under the rock outside his office, more behind a painting.
Before their relationship ended in late 2005, they had sex in the office a number of times, and at homes in the Hampton's owned by Miss Brinkley.
The fling stunned Long Island society, of which Miss Brinkley is a leading light. She filed for divorce two years ago as it emerged that Cook had paid Miss Bianchi $300,000 'shut-up' money.
Miss Brinkley also intends to call as a witness a married woman who left her husband for Cook and was then dumped by him.
Cook's current girlfriend and an interior designer he briefly dated are also expected to be hauled into court.
At the opening yesterday Mr Cohen called Cook 'a liar, drunk and adulterer' who spent $4000 a month on porn but failed to contribute to household expenses.

Brad Pitt arrived at the Lenval hospital in Nice yesterday with daughters Shiloh and Zahara for a visit with their pregnant mother .
Angelina checked in on Monday night for a pre-booked appointment in the maternity clinic.
The troubled star has had to endure countless stories being sold to the press by her friends, her ex husband Brian McFadden and even her own mother.
The former Atomic Kitten singer said: 'You do feel suicidal; you lie there thinking "I don't want to live any more".
Kerry says that she has considered suicide but would never do it because of her kids
But Kerry says she has never attempted suicide and has got through her problems with the help of new husband Mark Croft, who she describes as 'my safety net, my backbone, my rock'.
She added: 'I've watched my mum over the years, trying to kill herself countless times, and to me it's a coward's way out and it made me feel unloved and unworthy.
The star has remained tight-lipped since her mother told Star Magazine last month that she had been involved in prostitution to fund her drug habits.

Kerry says that Mark's official job is now her chauffeur. SICKKKKKKKKKKKK
She denied that he is a 'glorified taxi driver' and added: 'He's a chauffeur now darling!'
And what about the fact that he blatantly cheats on her and tells everyone he's with her for her money?
'No matter what Mark's always going to be labeled a cheat. It doesn't bother me in the slightest because I know that Mark isn't going to go out for burgers when he's got steak at home', says Kerry.
'Mark is one of the most loving people - brilliant with the kids, brilliant with me and he certainly never cheats. Ha! Ha! SOO good looking too.
'Mark is my best friend. If you put Brad Pitt next to him, I'd still pick Mark ten times over. He's my safety net, my backbone, my rock.'
P.S. This Sunday I'll be back as usual, with even more, I promise.
