Brinkley's hubby 'turned suicidal' after extramarital affair became public

Washington, July 4 : While testifying against her love rat hubby at the divorce trial, supermodel Christie Brinkley aired more of Peter Cook's wrong doings.

Brinkley detailed a call she received from Cook shortly after she discovered news of his shocking affair, describing her estranged husband as being hysterical and suicidal.

"He was sobbing and said he was driving erratically and that, 'I'm going to drive into a tree,'" People quoted Brinkley, as saying.

"I said, 'Pull over. You need help.' He said, 'No, I'm going to kill myself.' Then I spent the rest of the day trying to find a place he could go to get help," she added.

Brinkley and Cook, an architect, married in 1996 and she filed for divorce 10 years later after it became public that he was having an affair with Diana Bianchi, his teenage assistant.
