Brinkley Begged Hubby Not to Kill Himself

On the second day of testimony in supermodel Christie Brinkley's super screwed-up divorce case, Brinkley says almost ex-hubby Peter Cook once called her threatening to kill himself by smashing his car into a tree.

Brinkley said she begged Cook not to do it because it would destroy their children. When asked why -- Christie responded "it was the right thing to do."

And -- if you can believe it -- the story gets better.

The soon to be ex-Mrs. Cook testified that she didn't want to believe her husband was boning an 18-year-old -- even though the teenager's own dad told her about it. On the stand, Brinkley says Diana Bianchi's stepfather tapped her on the shoulder right before she was to speak at a high school graduation and said "That husband of yours won't knock it off. He's having an affair with my teenage daughter." To make matters worse, she heard the news right in front of her husband.

Christie says Petey repeatedly denied the affair. She says she was "shocked" because her picket fence perfect life had been "shattered" and "vanished."

18. Look....girl is just making sure that he doesn't take any of her $$. I am sure there is a reason she took all of this private. The fact of the matter is that he cheated -- on his wife. Don't F$ck with a super model!

Rock on girl!

For the life of me I cannot understand why she wanted this all out in the public. Certainly things would have leaked out anyway, but I don’t think we’d be getting this kind of play by play.

She must be rethinking this when she hears in court that her ex stated that they used porn in the marriage for sexual stimuli and that’s only day one.

What I want to know is she doing it for the publicity or the money?

21. I think he is a pig for screwing around while still married. That said, she is not much better because she wanted this to be an open proceeding so she could air her "dirty laundry" in public and smear the father of her children. She CANNOT possibly have the children's best interests at heart. They are young and really do not need to know all of this now. Just because he likes to look at naked women, doesn't make him a bad father!!! Also, husband #4??? Some people should just not marry and she appears to be one of them!!!!

23. Doesn't she think that airing their dirty laundry is hurting their children?

24. How many times she's been married is completely irrelevant. He's a dirty nasty pig and obviously doesn't care about the kids anyway. All that time on the computer and balling the TEENAGE secretary, he could have been spending with his kids. But he'll make time now? I don't think so. He's lucky I'm not the judge.

I'm not on Christie Brinkley's side, nor Cook's. I think the dissolution of their marriage and family is sad, but playing it out in front of the press is harmful to the children, it's selfish of her to think of her anger first and her children last. I don't condone what her husband did, but the girl was of legal age. I think the guy is a slug, but then there is apparently no shortage of slugs...male or female.

What struck me as pure hypocrisy is the fact that this husband and father is now suicidal because all of his "activities" have been pulled out of the dark and into the light of day for everyone to see. If he believed that what he was doing was perfectly normal, then: 1) why hide it; and 2) why become suicidal now that everyone knows?

Your conscience is that voice rattling around under your hairline telling you, "Gee, if you do that and your mother/father/friends/spouse/kids found out, would you still do it?"

Both of their consciences must have been on vacation, they are deaf, or their consciences were speaking in Mandarin because apparently neither one of them heard what it had to say.
