How Christie Brinkley Discovered Husband Peter Cook Was Having An Affair With a Teenager

Christie Brinkley is getting candid about her relationship with ex-husband Peter Cook which she reportedly described as “tortured.” In her new memoir titled “Uptown Girl,” the 71-year-old opened up about the moment she found out in 2006 that her ex was cheating on her with a teenager. She recalled that she was giving a commencement speech to a local high school in the Hamptons when a man approached her. “Excuse me,” he said softly. “I need to tell you that arrogant husband of yours has been having an affair with my teenage daughter,” she wrote, according to an expert published by People. The former model added that she was “so stunned” that she froze, sharing, “When your whole world falls apart and you realize in a heartbeat you’ve suddenly become the cliche middle-aged woman whose husband is having an affair with a much (much) younger woman, what do you do?” Brinkley also revealed that she did some digging on her family computer alongside two of her friends and found a “labyrinth” of files. “A panoply of incriminating photos and porn accounts populated the screen like fireworks, and before I knew it, my printer was shooting [beaver shots] out into the room. It was so insane that it was almost funny and soon enough, the three of us were doubled over in laughter, as printouts of girls in X-rated poses began piling up on the floor faster than trash outside a greasy takeaway,” she detailed.
