Carri Lyn Ciamarra is scheduled to take the stand to testify in the Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook divorce trail on July 10, but she doesn’t want to. Ciamarra, through her attorney Anthony Mangone, has criticized Brinkley for dragging her into court to testify against Cook. Mangone, says he’s attempting to stop Ciamarra from testifying, because she and Cook did not become close until after he and Brinkley were already legally separated. Mangone said:

"This is nothing more than a jilted woman trying to ruin someone else’s family. We feel her testimony is unnecessary and irrelevant to the current proceedings."

Amen. Ciamarra issued the following statement through her attorney:

"I first came to know Peter Cook in February 2007 after meeting him in New York City. The nature of that relationship is a private matter."

Asked whether Cook and Ciamarra were indeed dating last year, Mangone replied:

"She maintained a very friendly relationship with Peter Cook from February 2007 to August 2007. She’s a private citizen, and it’s not fair to explain what type of relationship it was."

Although Mangone criticized Brinkley, the attorney did not paint her estranged architect husband as an innocent victim. Mangone said:

"He’s got some credibility issues, and I’m not trying to gauge what kind of relationship they had or who decided to end it. The press has done a good job in exposing who he is."

He added that his client has no desire to be used as a pawn in court. Mangone added:

"They might expect her to sit and cower in the courtroom. She’s not going to sit down and die for these people, and it’s a shame she’s being dragged into this mess."

Brinkley asked the judge to keep the trial open for the media to report on. She should have the decency to keep this private, but like Mangone said, Brinkley is a jilted woman out for revenge, and doesn’t care who it hurts, even her kids.
