WWhen even a psychiatrist who has only met the two of them briefly recognizes that Peter Cook is a narcissist that says to me that he really has no business making decisions about the children because everything is about him. I’m sure Christie is angry and bitter about the affair but according to the psychiatrist, she has the ability to put it behind her and move on (with therapy). As the child of a narcissist, I can tell you that they don’t change. Their lives and their decisions need to revolve around themselves and sadly that makes them poor parents.
And as for Christie having issues with co-parenting, she and Billy Joel seem to have gotten along just fine for 22 years raising Alexa.

Sheila-
I totally agree with you, espically if my husband did something like Peter.
He CLEARLY has issues. As I mother I too, wouldn’t want him making any parenting decisions, as he has proven his poor judgement with the whole teenage affair, porn addiction, and hush money thing…

That’s not the kind of person I would want as a role model in my daughters life, absolutely NOT!

Maybe they’ll be able to work out an agreement in the future once he gets himself together, but for now I’m on team Brinkley.

This guy is a hundred times crazy..he was married to CHRISTIE BRINKLEY!!! She is gorgous and he is just an idiot to have cheated continuiusly.

Sheila,

who ever said Peter was trying to take the kids from her (like she has from him)?? Why can’t she share joint custody of their children

and like I said before, just because a man cheats on his wife, doesn’t mean he gets his parent card yanked!

I feel sorry for any woman that thinks “my husband cheated on me, that’s why he shouldn’t be allowed any custody of the children” because that’s not grounds to take away the rights of the father.

Just because she is granted “sole” custody doesn’t mean her ex won’t get visitation rights. The two are separate issues. However, if he cared much about those kids he wouldn’t have behaved in such a despicable manner.

Even at their age, I feel these kids should be able to make their own decision as to whether they want to see or spend time with their father based on how he treats them. Children are people with rights and feelings, and are too often used as pawns in divorce cases. If I were a judge allowing visitation, it would have to be supervised. Wouldn’t want him viewing porn or bringing women home and doing other harmful/inappropriate behavior around his children.

It really didn’t matter if the divorce was public or not the things that came out everyone knew a long time ago.

I dont like she had to pay him so much money. And I cant believe she has 18 properties in Hamptons. I have never been there but that’s the place if i could I would live. I guess some of them are investments, which is great ! In OK mag, there is a spread of one of her homes, where she now resides. Boy is that ever a cozy place !!! On the beach, old mill looking, just absolutely amazing. Looks like typical Hamptons as I imagine it !!!! And she looks so young !!!

It’s not Cirque de Soleil but Cirque du Soleil

Heather- I would fight tooth and nail, move Heaven and Earth to keep my kids. I would pull out all the stops if my DH and I split and he tried taking the kids! That is my number one fear that someone will try to take my kids away from me.

Both of the children are “his.” He adopted Jack after Christie bought out his bio father Rick Taubman, so he signed away his rights. It seems as if Christie has control issues regarding her children. It appears that she does not deal well with co-parenting.

This divorce should have never been public for the sake of her children. Apparently her excuse is that they’re in the mountains somewhere away from the media. That’s BS. Sailor and Jack may be in the mountains but all of their peers are not. They’ll hear about it and suffer….because Christie wanted to model the part of a scorned woman.

How sad for her children and what a demonstration of immaturity.
