Christie Brinkley divorce drama begins

Christie Brinkley's divorce proceedings aren't even underway yet and already the spectacle has begun. You may recall that the 54-year-old Brinkley filed for divorce from hubby Peter Cook after catching him cheating with a 19-year-old office assistant two years ago. If that wasn't humiliation enough, Brinkley now has to deal with Cook's new love inserting herself into the sure-to-be messy divorce proceedings.After Brinkley kicked him to the curb, Cook began dating single mom Suzanne Shaw. She's the former lover of a Park Avenue dentist who dumped her when she was six months pregnant. Because of that experience, she says she sympathizes with Brinkley. "I've been there, and I feel for her," Shaw said.
However, Shaw is concerned about the public beating she is sure Brinkley has planned for Cook and would like the former supermodel to back off her boyfriend for the sake of the kids. "He obviously made a mistake," she says. "But one mistake doesn't erase years of being a good person.
"She's doing this to publicly flog him," she continues. "This shouldn't be about her. It should be about their kids, [and] it will mean long-term, protracted damage to them."
I understand Shaw wanting to protect her man, but I think she is way out of line here. This is about Christie Brinkley, her kids and her cheating ex-husband. Shaw is entitled to her opinion, but should seriously consider keeping her mouth shut. If I were Brinkley, Shaw's comments would infuriate me.

Didn't she cheat on Billy Joel with Cook?
Its unfortunate that it happened, but should she really be this vengeful when she did the same at one point also??

The googles tell me there was a husband in between Billy Joel and Cook.

Oh ok, well the point is that she did it herself, so can she really be that surprised that it happened to her ?

I don't see why his girlfriend shouldn't come out and defend him publicly, aren't these the times for "my opinion matters and I should be able to share it"?
Isn't that why all the "columnists" on Parentdish trawl through the news and tabloids, give their opinions on whatever they read however silly and sometimes proceed to advice celebs who don't even know you exist and won't read whatever you write and at the end of it all, just to feel relevant, you ask your readers what they think?
Go ahead Ms Shaw, if Brinkley wants the public to have ring side seats, please share your opinion.

I'm betting that she really doesn't want the public to have ringside seats, she's hoping that the threat of it will cause her ex to settle.
Fingers crossed for her. Doesn't seem right that he cheats on her with his office assistant and then takes her to the cleaners in divorce court too.

Good that she exposed her cheating husband. But really, how many husbands has she had so far? She needs to work on her own mental state. And this world has far worse problems than brinkley's drama.
