RoadFish.com mens lifestyle and finance magazine today pointed to the public name-calling displayed by Christie Brinkley and ex-husband Peter Cook as a model for how not to behave in the midst of settling a divorce. Brinkley and Cook began filing for divorce four years ago, and this week tore into each other on national televisions the Today show about everything from divorce settlements to how their public dispute affects their kids.
On Tuesday, model Christie Brinkley went on the Today show and according to the Huffington Post, Brinkley told host Matt Lauer that her ex-husband, architect Peter Cook, still owes her child support, has sent her inflammatory emails, and that there has been a character assassination of her going on. She also claimed that she alone has observed the confidentiality agreement by turning down chances to go on Oprah and Primetime to do a sympathetic show, and states that Cook has broken the confidentiality agreement by going on shows such as Barbara Walters, Geraldo Rivera, and Good Morning America where hes discussed their divorce. She stated that she has never taken part in name-calling,
According to Fox News, Cook did an interview on Wednesday on the Today show with Savannah Guthrie. Cook called Brinkleys tears on the show the previous day crocodile tears. Cook also claimed that Brinkleys entire interview with Lauer was dishonest, and is quoted as saying on the show, The entire content of her interview was a lie, where she claims that I am harassing and bullying her on a daily basis we havent emailed each other directly in two years, so this perception that Im harassing and bullying her is nonsense. Cook stated, She does not want peace, she wants attention.
RoadFish.coms Senior staff writer is quoted as saying, I understand that being famous brings with it a good amount of paparazzi following your every move, but it makes me very sad to see how Brinkley and Cook are handling the details of their divorce, especially with three teenaged kids. It seems as though theyre bringing it into the public eye, not the other way around. I believe that there is a much better way to handle breakups than what were seeing with these two. Its petty.
Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook were married in 1996 in New York and had a child together, Sailor Lee Brinkley Cook, two years later. Cook also adopted Brinkleys son, Jack Paris Taubman, whom shed had with her former husband Richard Taubman. Jacks last name was officially changed to Brinkley Cook.

I am absolutely positive that these two things has helped me avoid what Im sure could have resulted in dozens of misunderstandings and disagreements. I do believe that Brinkley and Cook could take this advice to heart and apply some ethics in their own situation.
