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.
