"The Insider" has the latest... Court has just wrapped in day two of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook divorce trial. Moments after leaving the courthouse, Christie spoke to the press saying she has forgiven Cook's former mistress Diana Bianchi. "After two days of testimony I can't help but think about Diana Bianchi, and I want her and her family to know I feel really bad for them," she said.  "I feel bad for her and I forgive her.  Today it was really difficult to relive all the horror. I just I feel like it's been a really long day." Meanwhile, Cook did not speak to the media after court. Earlier today, Christie took the stand and became very emotional when testifying about the day she found out about Cook and Bianchi's affair, calling it the day "her world was completely shattered." She said under oath that it was the day she was given an honor at South Hampton High that Bianchi's step-dad approached her and told her about Cook and Bianchi's affair. "I was in complete shock," Christie told the court. "I thought I had the picket fence life." Christie went on to testify how when she and Cook were first married, he was an attentive step-dad to Alexa Ray, her daughter with Billy Joel. But then his attitude changed once their daughter Sailor was born in 1998. She testified he went from being a good guardian to Alexa to her "number one critic," ing on her clothes and becoming discouraging of her piano playing. Christie claimed that at one point Alexa Ray told Cook that she thought he preferred Sailor, to which Peter responded "F*** you!" And when Christie told him to not talk like that, he told her "F*** you too!" On the stand she described in detail seeing the Internet pornography her husband subscribed to. He told her it was the guys in his office who introduced him to it. He also told her he was going through a mid-life crisis and once he called her crying and said he was suicidal and was going to plow his car into a tree. Christie testified he even tried to help him, attempting to find a rehab center for sex addicts. Meanwhile, Christie's good friend Jill Rappaport also took the stand today revealing that she was the one who introduced Christie to Cook. Jill went on to say that she rushed to Christie's side when she found out about the affair. She testified she found Christie lying on the ground almost catatonic and that Christie's knees were covered in blood. She says she thought Christie was dead. Cook also took the stand, where he denied some of the allegations made against him, mainly about Alexa Ray. He also admitted to a cocaine conviction when he was 22. Alexa Ray, Bianchi and Cook all took the stand Wednesday as well. Click here for all of Wednesday's bombshells.
