Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley's estranged husband has reportedly agreed to pay his former teenage lover $300,000 to persuade her to keep her mouth shut about their affair.

Cook was said to silence his 18-year-old assistant Diane Bianchi with the payout deal not only to keep her quiet, but to also prevent her from filing a sexual harassment suit against him.

What a douchebag!

A source told People:

"Peter settled because he wanted to his children left out of it. That's the difference between them - he wants the children left out of it and (Brinkley) wants the kids in it."

However, Christie won her bid to keep the proceedings open to the public last week so we get to read all the dirt. Yay.
