    Diana Bianchi, 19, from Southampton, New York, said in a New York Post article on Tuesday that she and Peter Cook met in 2004 when she was a 17-year-old store clerk in the Hamptons beach resort on Long Island.

    In an interview with the Post , she alleged that the architect, who is now 47, seduced her with money and lavish gifts, and made advances on her shortly after she took a job at his architecture firm.

    And he attempted to woo her back with repeated notes and phone calls after she broke off the affair. "He was telling me that he was unhappy and that he was having problems at home," she said.

    The interview appeared less than a week after the 52-year-old Brinkley announced that she and Cook had separated. Cook is the supermodel's fourth husband. They married in 1996 and have a 8-year-old daughter.

    Also, Samantha Cole, a 29-year-old singer who claimed to have had an affair with Peter Cook before his marriage to Christie Brinkley, made her comments in Wednesday's editions of the New York Post.

    Cole said she was shocked to hear that Cook had allegedly cheated on Brinkley. "I never thought he would do something like that, being married, with his family so important to him."

    Brinkley, 52, is known around the world for her clean-cut, All-American good looks. Her career as a supermodel has spanned more than three decades, and she has appeared on over 500 magazine covers, in numerous television shows and been a spokeswoman for charitable and activist groups. Enditem
