On the second day of her divorce trial against Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley broke down in tears as she recalled how her ex had an affair with his teenage assistant.

"My world was completely shattered," she told the court, according to the New York Post.

She said she learned the news after delivering a commencement address at a high school in NYC's Hamptons area in June 2006.

She said the grads were taking turns collecting their diplomas on stage and Cook and son Jack cheering her on from the front row when the teen's step-father approached her.

"Suddenly, I heard these words ... I heard, 'That husband of yours just won't knock it off. He's having an affair with my teenage daughter and that bastard won't knock it off and I have to come to you,'" Brinkley, in tears, said.

"I said, 'What did you say?' At this point my eyes were fading out at the edges, this tunnel vision in a way," Brinkley told her attorney.

"I looked at Peter and he was just going 'no' and I thought it's true " he did that," she continued.

On Wednesday, Cook detailed the affair and his mistress, Diana Bianchi, also took the stand, calling their fling was "mutual."

Brinkley's attorney also revealed how Cook spent $3,000 on Internet porn sites.

The battle is expected to get more heated as the days continue as both bash each other's parenting skills in an attempt to win custody of their two children, Jack, 13, and Sailor, 9.

Cook told the Post the sensational trial "is about parenting and remaining in my children's lives in the same presence I've always had.

"I'm not going to let her take my children the way she has with the last two fathers," he said.

    PLEASE how does anyone feel sorry for this bimbo??? She loves the attention and drama of public celebrity divorces. Since she gets richer & gets to punish her husbands by taking his kids away, its a win win for her. Im sure she was 100% the victim here...yeah right. Props to her for the "tears" on the stand very dramatic. Im sure her attorney told her to turn on the f

    The guy is an admitted adulterer. It was courageous of her to have an open court. It would have been public anyway so why not put it in the open to begin with instead of "he said, she said". She is hurting and I feel for anyone going through that.

    I feel for her. This is why it's so important to really know someone at least 2 years before you marry them. Personal Experience.
