Christie Brinkley wants her divorce made public

It seems that in the world of celebrity divorces, while some go for a very private arrangement like Reece and Ryan, some spurned spouses want no less than revenge. While Shania Twain might have been giving her former friend, now known as the other woman, a public airing in People magazine, now it seems that Christie Brinkley, 54, wants her divorce proceedings out in the open.

Brinkley filed for divorce from her fourth husband, Peter Cook, in 2006 as news of his alleged infidelity with his then 18-year-old assistant emerged.

Among the things that may be revealed if the case, which begins July 2 is made public, are allegations that Cook trolls Internet porn sites. He also regularly logged on to swingers sites in search of women, the source claimed.

Despite Brinkley’s efforts, a law guardian for the couple’s two minor children however, will ask for the case to be kept private.

One reason Brinkley reportedly wants the case to be made public is because she is still upset at her ex.

“She’s still spitting mad at Cook,” the source said.

While if my husband cheated on me, I’d probably want to drag his dirty laundry out so he could be labeled a scoundrel by women the world over. But, would I want my children to know that daddy is a love rat?

It seems that the attorney representing Christie’s children wants the divorce to be private, to protect them from the knowledge that their father likes women less than half his age. Christie and Peter have two children, Sailor, 9, and Jack 12, and Christie has another daughter with Billy Joel, Alexa, 22.

Considering that the allegations are that Peter Cook likes to view online porn, troll for swingers and had an affair with his 18-year-old secretary, I think the kids have already been exposed to the worst of it. My son is 5 and can already google, although he can’t spell much besides his own name, I’m guessing that two pre-teens can google their father’s name with ease. Maybe having the court records open is not a good idea.

Besides, Peter is hardly alone in the world looking online for sex and porn. Isn’t that what the internet was invented for?
