- Peter Cook testified that he and Brinkley used pornography "to get the mood going." He also acknowledged spending about $3,000 a month on pornographic Web sites in 2005.
- Alexa Ray Joel, Brinkley's daughter with "Piano Man" Billy Joel, said Cook once shoved her head into a bucket of water.
- Diana Bianchi, the young woman whose affair with Cook set off a tabloid frenzy and ended the couple's marriage, testified that he hid cash for her under a rock and gave her $15,000 to help her buy a Nissan Maxima in 2005.
- Bianchi said the two had sex about 10 times before their relationship ended in late 2005. Cook counted about 12 rendezvous -- some at the office, some at Brinkley's homes in the Hamptons.
- Cook said he was trying to protect himself and his family from scandal when he paid off Bianchi with $300,000.00 in May of 2007.
- Alexa Ray Joel, 22, testified that Cook treated her well before he married her mother. But she said he was constantly on her case afterward, chastising her "if I chewed too loud" and criticizing her piano playing.
