Christie Brinkley Breaks Down in Court

With her divorce trial underway, Christie Brinkley has a long hard road ahead of her. And it sounds like things are already getting pretty tough.

During the second day of the proceedings, the supermodel reportedly broke down in tears as she explained to the court the manner in which she was informed of her husband’s infidelity.

Brinkley recalled that she was delivering a commencement address at a Hamptons-area high school back in 2006 when the step-father of her husband’s mistress’ confronted her.

"Suddenly, I heard these words ... I heard, 'That husband of yours just won't knock it off. He's having an affair with my teenage daughter and that bastard won't knock it off and I have to come to you,'" said a teary Christie.

"I said, 'What did you say?' At this point my eyes were fading out at the edges, this tunnel vision in a way. I looked at Peter and he was just going 'no' and I thought it's true — he did that."

Brinkley’s attorney also told the court the Peter Cook (Christie’s soon-to-be ex) had run up an internet pornography bill to the tune of $3000.

Nevertheless, Cook told press that this trial "is about parenting and remaining in my children's lives in the same presence I've always had. I'm not going to let her take my children the way she has with the last two fathers."

This one’s gonna get messy!
