- louiebaur, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4Thats it I couldn't think of the name of it
- gossipmonkey, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2is she the one who says, "Oh, it's fanTAStic!"??
- Wonderama, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0So very hot. But as the old saying goes, somewhere, someone is still sick of her sh!t.
- sogeshirts, on 07/08/2008, -0/+10I think it's total gym.
- AmyVernon, on 07/08/2008, -4/+10so, Christie, when's marriage No. 3?
- elister, on 07/08/2008, -0/+610-12 years ago when she divorced him, this current drama is based on husband #4.
- drmobutu, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Billy Joel was number three...
- WantToPlay, on 07/08/2008, -2/+11It's a shame that their divorce is soooo publicized. I know that she wants everyone to know what type of douche bag her soon to be ex-husband is, But gee can't she think about how this is going to effect the children? It's bad enough that their parents are getting a divorce, now they get to hear it all on tv and anywhere they may go. It's a shame how we as parents, how some don't think about how their actions will effect their children in the future....
I do feel for Christie, I've sorta been in her situation before. But it will get worse before it gets better... unfortunately....
For the record, she is still very pretty. I want to know what her fountain of youth is.- mal1964, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Its sounds to me like she's using the kids for a better outcome in court(more money). I don't understand why she's saying it now If it was so bad why didn't she do something about it before, Because she wasn't affected(e?) by it before.
- WantToPlay, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0I know some women wait too long until they can't handle it anymore. But in the end, it's the kids that suffer....
- Kenzan, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Her fountain of youth is the spunk from the wallets of various multi-millionaires
- WantToPlay, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0True, True... Where can I get one of those? lol

- jeddjohnson, on 07/08/2008, -6/+12I don't blame her for leaving him if he's putting his hands on the kids.
- Rikkochet, on 07/08/2008, -1/+7"About a dozen times" over 13 years (the age of their oldest child).
I doubt he's a serial child abuser. That really sounds a lot more like soup grapes and a bitter wife trying to disrupt divorce proceedings.- MaxwellMoss, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Mmmmmm Soup Grapes
- thailand1972, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Emphasis on "if". It's funny she is saying this about him now, when it happens to give her (possibly) some leverage in the divorce case.
- Ortheos, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6You mean kids are not allowed to be spanked every once in a while? Until about the age of 6-7, kids are retards and need to be taught that the household has rules by force if necessary (if they happen to be extra-retarded).
- Rikkochet, on 07/08/2008, -1/+7"About a dozen times" over 13 years (the age of their oldest child).
- daxxer, on 07/08/2008, -5/+34Women always use the domestic violence ... just a hint of it gets them pity and the guy is outgunned immediately whether true or not. Just look at jedds comment above. If ... and she already has his pity. Dad's get the raw end in every state of this nation. Just my 7 cents (due to inflation!)
- synthpop, on 07/08/2008, -3/+1I'm pretty sure it's the divorce lawyers who bring up the violence card, and all the other dirty tricks used to squeeze every last drop from the poor sap being shaken down
- thailand1972, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Oh, she's not to blame then if she's lying....
- synthpop, on 07/08/2008, -3/+1I'm pretty sure it's the divorce lawyers who bring up the violence card, and all the other dirty tricks used to squeeze every last drop from the poor sap being shaken down
- cnicodemus, on 07/08/2008, -1/+12She can use "overwhelming force" on me.
- JerichoSam, on 07/08/2008, -1/+6This divorce gets messier by the minute. I agree with WantToPlay that the parents should have considered how this would affect their children before publicizing all of this.
- LewP, on 07/08/2008, -1/+16I'm so tired of the drama between people and their divorces. I hate that not only the people in this situation think we are interested, but that people.com needs stuff like this to report. I bet there are two sides to this story.
- starskii, on 07/08/2008, -2/+7Beat him with a stick.
- ToeCracker, on 07/08/2008, -4/+4Not a pleasant situation and he should never lay a finger on the kids.
- hep2djive, on 07/08/2008, -1/+8I would be dead now if my folks didn't manhandle me periodically. Heck I remember the football coach giving us a swat for any "C" or lower.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4I went to catholic high school and proceeded to get beat down by the teachers and dean of students. All deserved of course because I was a trouble maker. Never did I think I was getting abused, and actually feel it helped me.

- hollywoodphony, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8If you're going to use force, you might as well be overwhelming about it.
- sockpuppets, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Thanks, now there's pickles strewn all over my kitchen.
- norby1, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6 Christie marry me?
- jgambleii, on 07/08/2008, -3/+21Who names their kid Sailor? Anyway, it sounds like the use of "force" was something normal for anyone over 25. I got spanked, my dad use to wrestle me to the ground and sometimes my arm would hurt, or I'd get an elbow in the side. It's no big deal really. It sounds like the father is just a little more old school that Christie is. For the record Christie, "Time Outs" don't work. They really don't.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5Time Outs work, but only until the child realizes they don't mean anything. Then its time to step it up a level.
Its interesting to me though, because it sometimes feels like I am part of the last generation that was reprimanded with a strong hand and don't think its abuse. We accepted our beatings because they were deserved. I knew I did something wrong, so I had to deal with the punishment. Now it doesn't matter if the kid is right or wrong, you so much as threaten to spank or bitch slap you kid and child services are all over your ass. Damn soft kids these days.. - johndoesovich, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1That's not what super nanny says....
but I think super nanny is wrong, time out doesn't work with my daughter and she usually sticks her tongue out at me when I tell her to go. When I was their age, my parents turned my butt black and blue with any sign of disrespect or disobedience.- SpectralSounds, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1If I would have stuck my tongue out at my father when he was in the middle of punishing me, I probably would have woken up in the hospital.
- GiggleStick, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Time out is just practice for the "Big Timeout", otherwise known as the federal penitentiary, or PMITA Prison.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5Time Outs work, but only until the child realizes they don't mean anything. Then its time to step it up a level.
- shutaro, on 07/08/2008, -0/+12I read the headline and thought the article was about her personal chef... I was disappointed.
- mushtakrakish, on 07/08/2008, -6/+1i'd like to use overwhelming force on her vagina! oh god...what have i become?
- uptown, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4unfunny?
- ngmcs8203, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I still think this guy needs to be locked up for being an idiot. How many thousands of dollars did he spend on internet porn? I guess nobody told him the ***** was free on the internet.
- Tyrghast, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7***** like this, celebs doing stupid *****, takes up more of the evening news time than real issues...
- SpyCatcher, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6There has be something seriously wrong with Christie Brinkley that everyone is not aware of. This is her 3rd divorce that has ended with many crazy accusations by her against her former husbands.
I don't know about the rest of you but to me she has no credibility.- GiggleStick, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I agree. She's a hottie, but often they turn out to be rather nuts. When she left Billy Joel for some ski-rescue guy, I pretty much figured she was a flake.
- dorkus999, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Thank god we have digg to tell us about these things!
- rationalbeats, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5in the butt
- natertots, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1what? what?
- ConfirmedCynic, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8Standard divorce tactic. Call the husband a child abuser. It's done so often that such accusations are meaningless. EXCEPT in a family court, where the accusation might as well be a conviction.
- Xihix, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4I don't feel like reading it, but let me make something clear: Hit your kids. It's the best form of discipline, period. Not excessively to abuse them, but the next time they do something bad, such as down right REFUSING to do something or eat something, take one hand out, form a flat surface, and smack that kid. Sending them to their room ***** will do nothing, especially when they're older. I mean, most foreign or minority parents do it, I think it's just unpopular with white folks for some reason.
- johndoesovich, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0I absolutely agree but there is the fear on my part of my child then having the power to go into school and "tell on me" for spanking my kids. There's a balance as you are suggesting by not going too far but my children shouldn't have that sort of power over me where I could have them taken away or I even be put in jail because of it.
- HumanRecalled, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3@manhandling their children
oh yes ...of course ! Funny this only comes as a defensive move in court after he was caught cheating !
Appparently by her logic and admission were to believe that piledriving the kids was just fine as long as he didn't stick his dick in the babay sitter ! Now that he was caught the gloves are off
hahahah come now Christie now your just looking petty - dumpyhumpy, on 07/08/2008, -0/+14Excuse me, but who the ***** cares?
- Bittermanscolon, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Totally, I got enough to worry about without giving a ***** about people who could give a ***** about me.
OMG, they're celebrities!!! I should warship and appease them constantly! ***** sakes......
- Bittermanscolon, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Totally, I got enough to worry about without giving a ***** about people who could give a ***** about me.
- forceuser, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Did anyone else think of Star Wars?..
- MildApplause, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1zomg I remember that! It's the part where the one guy is all "Use force, Luke"
- forceuser, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1FORCE CHOKE
- MildApplause, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1zomg I remember that! It's the part where the one guy is all "Use force, Luke"
- seks03, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Why is this such an important divorce? is it only because it's Christie Brinkley or is there something else about this case? I just don't see what makes this divorce anymore important then others going on.... now if you don't mind, I'm going back to my A-Rod divorce minute by minute updates.
- dalittle, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I wonder why they do not have a prenup? This would have been over before it began and they could both get on with their lives.
- Serial0Hacker, on 07/08/2008, -2/+0Cook needs to be thrown out on the street.
- Kenzan, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2All's fair in love and war. Especially during a divorce, people (especially chicks who stand to get some serious cash) will say or do anything to increase the payout and make the ex suffer.
In all likelihood, you never know who's telling the truth with these things.- SpectralSounds, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2It's pretty easily actually. The person that has the most to gain, will lie the most.
- mattlohkamp, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6who posts this *****?
this is not news, and digg.com is not FOX. - slayernine, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Why should I care about celebrities?
- Groovydoo, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0The guy sounds like an a-hole but one has to ask: why did she procreate with this bastard let alone marry him in the first place? I doubt this was a overnight transformation on his part.
- mm911, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I can't escape this story! Why is this on the front page? Why is it on ANY page ANYWHERE?
- BOFH2, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1burying because to publicize anyone's divorce is stupid. That being said I hope the kids are okay.
- hercule22, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0see more here http://www.paradisegardeen.com/
- rgodfrey, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Hey Peter Cook, what happened to mawwiage being a bwessed awwangement, a dweam wiffin a dweam?
/Princess Bride, ask your parents about it. - jeanette3654, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2This "charge" is pretty much a SOP for any female in a divorce piss-up. Doesn't have to be true or even proved, just put out there. Since the man is a big, smelly brute, he is presumed to have done it. In every single divorce case that I have personal knowlege of, I wouldn't give custody of the family cat to the female, much less the kids. FYI, as you can see by my name I'm a woman and I bring this point of view up because, in my experience, it is the truth!
- MildApplause, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2I wonder why people care about celebrity divorces. These people are millionaires many times over and so they have enough money to live comfortably without working for several lifetimes, regardless of whether they win or lose. It's not like one of them or the other is going to be living under a freeway overpass because of this.
The *loser* will be better off financially than most people could ever hope to be. - luiyuming, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1Peter Cook sounds like a real sleaze but getting caught doing something borderline illegal when you were in your 20s shouldn't be relevant in divorce proceedings.
- DrPh0bius, on 07/09/2008, -0/+1So his use of "overwhelming force" with the kids was fine until she found out he loved porn I guess???
Because, she said it happened over 13 years, and she waiting till now to be outraged by it... - DrWayne, on 10/18/2008, -1/+0Hey!!! Sex-tape with Christie Brinkley is real!!!
