It's been almost four years since Christie Brinkley and her cheating husband of 12 years, architect Peter Cook, slugged it out in divorce court.
But the four-times-wed supermodel's tearful breakdown while discussing their ongoing custody issues, during a March 27 visit to the Today show, made it clear that their battle is more bitter than ever.

And 58-year-old Christie, who was scheduled on the morning program to tout her turn on Broadway in Chicago, is even more distraught behind the scenes, insiders tell Star.
"I married a monster!" Christie recently told a friend. "My marriage to Peter was a complete nightmare. Even thought I divorced him, I can't get past it." Adds a source: "Christie is still piecing herself together. Peter shattered her life and continues to harass her."
