Christie Brinkley's Ex Peter Cook Paid Teen Lover For Silence: Report

Supermodel Christie Brinkley's cheating hubby, Peter Cook, paid $300,000 to his former teenage lover to keep her from singing about their torrid affair, The Post has learned.

Cook's payment to then-20-year-old Diana Bianchi last March came in exchange for a promise not to sue him for sexual harassment.

The Post first reported last year that a deal had been made - but terms of the confidential settlement had been kept secret until yesterday.

Two sources familiar with the deal said Cook, 49, paid Bianchi $300,000, and in return she agreed to never talk about their relationship, which began when she was just 18 years old and working in his Hamptons architectural firm.

What kind of idiot cheats on Christey Brinkley???

[Dorraj]

I personally can care less about there marriage even though I think cheating is almost always dead wrong. However I cant stand this woman or any woman like her. Please explain to me how this selfish, thoughtless tart is thinking about her children by embarrassing them with this trial. What do you think the kids at their school is going to say. Divorce is hard enough on children but this fool of a mother wants to make it just that much worse. We all get it Christie, your husband was a cheating jerk, but you are acting like a damn two year old.
What you are doing now is so much worse than cheating cause you are hurting your own children to get sympathy for yourself. Plus this is your FOURTH MARRIAGE! C'MON! You are really that upset? My mother cheated on my father and while I am sure he was pissed at my mother he never bad mouthed her to me or my brother and didnt go around calling her names, cause he knew the only people who would really be hurt is his kids. Kids in school can be very cruel, and you are open your own kids up to this cruelness.

So what.

[Harrier]

Not sure why she keeps marrying losers. Perhaps she fancies the playboy type, feeling that once she marries, she beats all the others. A strange problem she has in seeking happiness

[wayoutleft]

i can't shut mine up with money either.

[IndependentMeans]

I just think to demand an open court is SO wrong. Only because of her child(ren) with this man. She really wants them to hear and read that about their dad? I would never do that kind of harm to the father of my children, and he is a real ass too.

[GQTaste]

Thats what anybody would have done in that situation. If they have the money of course it would go down that way.

[andvoodoo2]

NOW we know why she wanted the divorce made public.

My experience of Christie Brinkley by her interviews and comments in the past are that she is very fine person, who just has bad taste in men. I think she has had a lot of positive mail that supports her. There is something so creepy about a cheating spouse, who lies constantly to cover his (or her) misdeeds.

[BrianT]

She is obviously not able to please men-one would assume she does not enjoy and limits sexual activity to a minimum.

[Changeling]

And you'd base that assertion on exactly what?

Guys don't mess around with other women solely because their woman isn't an animal in bed. Sometimes that's part of it, sure. But most men cheat because:

She's there.

She's "different" (i.e. NOT my wife or GF. It's a new experience)

She'll let him take her to bed.

[BrianT]

She is an attractive, wealthy woman who cannot find one man to be happy with, yet "it is just her taste in men", meaning she continually hooks up with flawed people. Neither on of us knows her personally, she might be an absolute monster.

[speakyourmind]

It's sad, really. Remember even Halle Berry's husbandS (plural) cheated on her too. Just doesn't matter how "hot" you are. Some people don't have any conscience, men and women alike.

[rzan]

Her first husband physically abused her, which is sad because so many people value her beauty and her talent and that she is obviously a good person. In her second divorce, she was very worried about his daughter whom she had also adopted during their marriage. It was not all about her.

[speakyourmind]

I never implied that it was.

[CammyV]

How nice that his new/latest girlfriend is defending him. Watch this space for further announments when she is the one being cheated on with some young chickie.
The man seems to be a sleeze that can't keep it zipped.
I don't know why Christie has such bad luck with men. Poor judge of character? Remember the guy she married after only knowing him for 5 minutes? And the marriage lasted less than that.
Maybe she just likes big parties and pretty outfits...wait...she's a model. I get it now.

[lisakaz2]

I know re: this "new girlfriend" Like she thinks that he can't possibly cheat on her with some new thang. What a load!

I don't know about Christie. She was married to Billy Joel for a good while but he might have been inattentive. He's on his third marriage now, so it can't be just her.

[BlueandGreen]

Christie comes across as a genuinely sweet gal, but she has lousy taste in men!

[ICanHasDemocracy]

I hear Ashley Dupre is looking for a backup singer....

[Changeling]

Not only for "children of the '80s."

She's still just plain hot.

Not that "makeup caked on, liposucked, plastic surgeon sliced "cougar" trying desperately to retain even a little of what she once had." definition of hot either.

A few more lines around the eyes, but she looks much the same as she did back then.

Definitely gifted with extraordinary genes.
