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."

61. She's a big loser just like him for having this aired in public. She doesn't care about her kids, she just wants to humiliate him for cheating on her. No wonder she's been through so many marriages!

If working on your relationship means cheating on Billy Joel, then you are right. This isn't anything that she hasn't done at least once. Move on. Don't air his dirty laundry in public, particularly when you have so much of your own.

64. Don't you people realize why CB is doing this???? It's because Mr. Porno wants custody of the children. One being CB's son from another marriage that Mr. P adopted. Now that's why she's doing it, he wants to take her children from her, he's a dirtbag with a capital D.

65. God Bless Christie Brinkley. It's just a reality check for all women, men are PIGS!!! You think you have the white picket fence, always watch your back. People are cruel - especially when you've made something out of yourself...women are jealous little tramps too!!! Always watch your back and only let those precious, precious people into your circle of friends. Have a close relationship with God, he's the only one you can really trust!!! Don't let the devil get you down Christie, you're beautiful, smart and witty...still young enough to start over again - be glad that your rid of the loser - better now than finding out later!!!!

66. Oh look what we have become. A wealthy woman who financially supports her husband is betrayed, used and jilted. Apparently, this is so common that readers are critical of her for airing his dirty laundry in public. Oh, they worry, what kind of mom could she be allowing her poor kids to see their dad for what he is? First of all, do any of you really think the kids don't know? Secondly, would all of you find this so much more tasteful if Ms. Brinkley were left broke, homeless and fighting for custody of her kids against a powerful man with a good income while she looks for legal aid attorneys to rep her in a custody dispute. And wouldn't we all feel better if we could just say "poor girl" to an aging housewife with no resources who will appease her soon to be ex-spouse for the possibility of a better financial settlement which she will need in order to provide for the kids? But our victim is not pathetic or poor or under educated. And our villan is not going to get cut the slack that desperate dumped and betrayed women cut. Amazing that we find it so distasteful that Mr. Cook is getting his just dessert that readers feel the need to blame the woman for his lying cheating ways. Oh she must have done something for her husband to cheat on her? Do all of you still blame women for domestic violence too? I know. All men would do the right thing by their wife and kids if only women would do more for them. Because working and raising a family and cleaning and cooking and trying to look like your 18 when your 45 is just not trying hard enough.

68. I feel so sorry for Christie and do NOT get you all that are saying she is hurting her kids blah blah... 1st, that pig Peter (fitting name btw) is the one who did and NOW admits to all those cold sometimes perverted things, not Christie. And kids young or old know a lot more then people think they do when something like this is going on and what they didn't already know they will eventually find out anyway. You feel horrible and sick inside when you find out the one closes to you is a perverted stranger who has betrayed you and humiliated you, unfortunately I know. So give Christie a break. Some of us never find a sincere real man.

70. I can't believe ppl are pissed off at her for this stuff becoming public and I agree with that because of the kids but Brit's business is out there and it's oh her kids will hate her when they see/hear this stuff...No different here.

71. The man is disgusting. He deserves to be exposed for the piece of crap that he is. I am so sorry for her.

72. Let's see...how is a whole lot of publicity helping her cause? Has anyone even thought of this woman in the last
five years? The soon to be ex-hubby is a pig of monumental proportions, but after this is over, we'll see Brinkley on Oprah's
couch bawling her eyes out and getting loads of middle-aged woman love. She'll string this mess out for as long as she can and get loads of money. She'll be on the cover of People soon enough.

73. In my opinion he deserves all the humilation he can get. I hope she now "slams" him silly. Here he is screwing around with this young girl playing on her ignorance. Trying to pay her off for her not to expose their affair. Taking her to THEIR home to have HIS fun. Seems he didn't care about his children's feelings at the time. I am not saying 2 wrongs make a right...I am saying" WHAT YOU SOW YOU SHALL REAP"!! He has an air about him as arrogant,smug and sleezy....You Nail Him Christy!! HE'S A PREV!!

74. So what if Christie has been married 4 times? So, she's guilty of having bad taste in men. It is just rumor that she cheated on Billy Joel, but even if that rumor is true, it was with an adult, and Billy has obviously forgiven her, so no one else needs to hold a grudge on her for that. Look at all the sleazy, skanky things we have already found out about Peter Cook-this affair with the teenage Bianchi girl was not the first time, from what he himself admits to, he already had it down to a science! Think of how many other affairs he must have had and paid off the young girls, who will stay quiet cause they don't want to get dragged into this. Christie has to do this, it is her only shot to keep this pedophile perv away from the kids
