Christie Brinkley Says Raising Kids in the Spotlight Is One of the 'Biggest Bummers' of Fame: 'That Really Hurts'


Christie Brinkley says that raising her kids in the spotlight has been one of the "biggest bummers" of fame, saying that it "really hurts" to see her kids go through public scrutiny.

The former Sports Illustrated model, 71, appeared on the Totally Booked with Zibby podcast and explained that raising her three kids in the spotlight has been one of the "toughest" things she's experienced in regards to being famous. The mom of three goes on to explain that fame affected her kids differently and became particularly difficult with her younger daughter, Sailor. Brinkley says that's just how Alexa was raised, and it's only natural that her daughter would want to follow in her father's footsteps.
