Welp, you don’t hear stories like this every day (thank goodness). Christie Brinkley was minding her own business at her $15 million home in the Hamptons in NY (which includes a private beach) last Saturday when “drunken stalker” Erica Remkus decided to make an appearance… and boy did she ever.
Apparently Remkus went to cop a squat on Christie’s private beach, claiming that she’d just seen another man do the same, when Christie ran towards her and sprayed her with a hose. Remkus later took to Facebook to call Christie a “dumb bitch” over the incident, but Christie’s not taking this lying down.
Here’s how it all went down, according to the Daily Mail (so take it with a grain of salt):
At first Remkus did not recognize infuriated Brinkley, who yelled: ‘What are you doing?!’ You can’t pee in front of my house! You have to go away.’
‘You’re standing on my rocks. You can’t pee on my rocks. I walk there!’ shouted the Uptown Girl.
Remkus yelled back: ‘These are not your rocks. This is not your beach. ?The beach is public property. You don’t own it.’
But the squatter had to make a hasty retreat before she could relieve herself, when Brinkley charged at her with the garden hose. Sprayed from about 30 feet away, it was then that hairdresser Remkus realized she was being doused by the 62-year-old famous swimsuit model.
Unperturbed, Remkus defiantly peed on the sand near the home, while being recorded by the model with her cellphone.
Remkus said: ‘I would not have peed if she didn’t spray me. After that, I kind of had to.’
Brinkley then called the cops, who interviewed the woman, but said authorities would not normally press charges unless an officer had witnessed the urination.
Yikes. Anyhoo, that then led Remkus to post the following to her Facebook page:
To which Christie then responded on Instagram, writing the following:
Sounds like drama! In all seriousness, I don’t think Remkus actually gave a shit that it was Christie Brinkley but probably thought it was a good story to tell. That doesn’t make peeing on someone’s private property okay, but this whole story is just too weird.
Jeez 62 is the new 32 unbelievably beautiful
