Supermodel Christie Brinkley was angered by the fact that her fourth ex-hubby Peter Cook broke their agreement and took their kids on a flight with a single-engine plane this weekend.
Before Cook took the kids for the weekend, the two ex-spouses had agreed that he would drive their 10-year-old daughter Sailor and her 13-year-old brother Jack to the Adirondacks. Brinkley and Cook reached the agreement on Friday night during the airing of his soap-opera “20/20” interview Friday night.
However, Peter Cook did it anyway. Sailor called her supermodel mommy hours before the show aired. The girl was hysterical because she was about to board a plane small, single-engine plane.
Sailor was crying because she was scared to get on the plane, a source close to Brinkley said. The fact that Cook took the kids on a flight is a very disturbing issue for Brinkley because she went through a helicopter crash in 1994. She managed to survive the crash, but from then on, she insisted that no member of her family would ever travel via helicopter or small airplane.
“Because of what she went through, Christie has always insisted that the family has to travel on a double engine plane with two pilots,” the source informed.
Cook was stopped from taking the kids on the flight. Brinkley called the cops and they stopped the plane on the runway at East Hampton Airport. However, Cook faked everybody. He drove away with the kids, but after everybody left believing he decided to drive the kids to the destination, he turned the car around, headed back to the airport and took off.
However, to keep his ex-wife from going bananas, Cook asked a friend to accompany him and his kids on the small plane as a second pilot, People Magazine reported.
