Christie Brinkley under fire from ex-husband Peter Cook

Billy Joel stood by his ex, Christie Brinkley, as she battled fourth husband Peter Cook in divorce court. What makes Billys allegiance remarkable is that, according to a former nanny, Christie put Billy through a similar hell.

Cook and Brinkley have officially reached a settlement, but hes continued to charge that shes trying to turn their children their daughter, Sailor, and Brinkleys son with Rick Taubman, Jack against him.

Thats why Cook is cheered by the delivery of some fresh dirt on Christie, courtesy of Alzirene Vianna, who looked after Billy and Christies daughter, Alexa Ray, from June 1993 to December 1994.

In 1995, when Billy and Christie were still dealing with matrimonial issues, Vianna gave Billys lawyers an affidavit, which weve obtained.

Vianna alleges in the never aired 40 page statement that:

Christie never encouraged Alexa to call Billy and told Vianna to eavesdrop on phone conversations Alexa had with Billy. When Vianna took Alexa for a visit with Billy, Christie told Vianna to let her know if Billy was drinking again. I want you to spy for me, Vianna quotes Christie as saying.

After Christie had left Billy for handsome Colorado businessman Taubman, she was packing her bags for Telluride when Alexa, then age 8, started acting up. Christie told her in a very harsh tone that if she wanted to come with her to Colorado she would have to stop behaving like this, because she didnt want Alexa to ruin her relationship with Ricky.

It wasnt long before Christie and Rick were getting into arguments: Ricky would kick furniture and slam doors. Once, while staying at a hotel in California, Rick wouldnt let Christie into their room. Christie started pounding on the door and kicking it Rick later told Christie: No wonder Billy left you; who can live with you?

Once, while Rick was getting into a car outside their house, Christie opened a window, threw something and said, [Bleep] you, you ass !

People began to talk about Christies addiction to prescription drugs. Said Vianna: I remember going to the pharmacy every day in East Hampton to get several prescriptions filled for [Christie].

Christie wouldnt grant Alexas wish for Billy to come to school events. Alexa sobbed when she said goodbye to Billy after a visit and seemed to withdraw.

Gary Smith, a spokesman for Cook, says Viannas tales of parental alienation and interference unfortunately continue to this date and come as no surprise to Mr. Cook.

Claire Mercuri, who represents Billy and Alexa, says, These accusations are false and unfounded.

Brinkleys lawyer, Loren Plotkin, calls Vianna a disgruntled employee, adding: Christie Brinkley denies these baseless, false and malicious allegations. One must question the motive of the individual who dredged up this document as nothing more than a shameful, transparent and ultimately fruitless attempt to hurt Christie and her family.[source:celebritymound.com]
