Christie Brinkley’s Best Friend Speaks Out!

Although Christie Brinkley and husband Peter Cook are keeping mum about Peter?s alleged affair with a 19-year-old, others aren?t.

The mother of alleged teen mistress Diana Bianchi comes out of the woodwork, slamming the allegedly unfaithful Peter in an interview with the Daily News as a ?predator? who preyed on her daughter.

?She felt that Peter groomed her daughter and showered her with gifts, flattered her, showed her the high life, and that way, you know, what girl really is gonna resist that,? Daily News staff writer Jane Ridley told Access Hollywood.

Mother Frances Platt?s tearful tale and strong words were enough to convince Ridley that the family will take legal action against Cook.

?I do think we will see it coming to court,? Ridley told Access.

Platt also defended Bianchi?s innocence, saying:

“She’s very naive and trusting. She looks worldly, like she knows everything. But she doesn’t.”

And that softer side is easy to see in a video of the aspiring singer at 17.

During a piano performance, Bianchi delivered an emotional rendition of Journey?s ?Open Arms.?

And she eventually broke down in tears.

As for Brinkley, best friend Jill Rappaport spoke out on the ?Today Show? Thursday, laying to rests rumors that Christie is currently in Los Angeles.

?Her main focus right now is for her children,? Rappaport said. ?She has taken them to a place, where there are no computers, no phones, where they could be shielded from all these horrible headlines.?

Jill also bears the burden of having originally paired ?Cook the Cad? with Christie.

?It’s just such a shame because she is definitely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met,? Rappaport said. ?I won’t be doing any matchmaking any time soon after this.?
