    Diana Bianchi Enters Victimhood

    Monday, July 24th, 2006

    Diana Bianchi is the 19-year-old former flingmate of Peter Cook, the 47-year-old soon-to-be-ex-husband of Christie Brinkley.

    As the story goes, Cook met Bianchi while she was working in a toystore in Southampton, LI. Allegedly, under duress and at gunpoint, Bianchi:

    • Quit her job at the toystore to work at Cook’s architectural firm
    • Began having sexual relations with Cook
    • Accepted $1500 per month, jewelry, and a car.

    Of course, I’m joking about the duress and gunpoint. In fact, the whole thing is a joke. Why? Anyone who believes poor, little Diana didn’t know what she was doing is an idiot; Diana is an idiot for claiming naïveté. Lest you forget, there are plenty of 19-year-old women stationed in Iraq. So, put away your Hermès handkerchiefs.

    As I’ve written before, women in dating/fling situations who trade sex for cash, presents, and vacations are prostitutes. Even Jay Leno called Bianchi a whore in one of his monologues last week.

    Because Ms. Bianchi is now claiming to be an innocent “victim” and may file sexual-harassment charges against Cook, she is merely reinforcing the time-worn tradition of women blaming men for their actions — instead of bravely accepting the blame themselves. Moreover, I’ve seen no outcries of embarrassment from women bemoaning Bianchi’s behavior. I wonder why. Hmmm…

    Both parties — Cook and  Bianchi — acted according to free will and must take responsibility for their actions. That’s the whole point of my recent article, “Chivalry Died in the Garden of Eden.” Cook lost a wife and his community standing. Bianchi lost her “innocence” but gained cash, bling, a car, and an international reputation.

    So, exactly how is Diana Bianchi a victim? Nobody held a gun to her head, threatening her to quit her job, join Cook’s architectual firm, and have sex with Cook in exchange for remuneration. Sniff. Sniff. She expected to have an affair with a world-famous woman’s husband — in the Hamptons, no less – and escape scrutiny? Pathetic. Pathetic.

    Instead of entering womanhood at 19, Diana entered victimhood. She doesn’t understand that, until she holds herself accountable for her own actions, no man will respect her. Don’t worry, she has plenty of company.
