Christie Brinkley's daughter defends her mom's public divorce

Christie Brinkley’s fight to go public with her nasty divorce from architect Peter Cook has raised some eyebrows, to say the least.

Critics say the supermodel, who pushed for her divorce trial to be open to the public, is putting the couple’s two kids – Jack, 13, and Sailor, 10—at risk by airing her dirty laundry with their dad for the world to see.

Brinkley has accused Cook of such nasty deeds as trolling internet porn and checking out swinger sites for partners. The architect has already fessed up to having an affair in 2006 with his then-18-year-old assistant and reportedly paid the girl $300,000 to keep quiet.

Although the model has been getting flak for skewering her ex in public, Brinkley’s daughter defends her mom’s move to go public with her divorce battle.

“She’s standing up for herself,” Alexa Ray Joel, 22, tells People magazine.

Adds Joel, Brinkley’s daughter with Billy Joel: “I think that is admirable. There’s such overwhelming support for her.”

Brinkley and Cook’s case is scheduled to go to court July 2.
