Christie Brinkley was trying to have a nice Fourth of July like the rest of us by gathering with friends and waiting to see a fireworks display. Her time, however, was nearly ruined when a strange woman allegedly decided to pee on the supermodel’s property.
After several tabloids reported a story about Brinkley having to battle a woman who relieved herself in the 62-year-old’s yard, the blonde beauty took to Instagram to give her take on what happened.
“I know it's Independence Day but that does not mean ‘free to pee’ in front of my guests and me at my fireworks gathering,” Brinkley wrote. “Maybe the trespasser should celebrate ‘Depends Day’ as she apparently thinks she lives in ‘The Land of the Pee’, as I was forced to hose down her mess after she urinated in my yard all the while throwing things at me.”
The model then added that the woman may have been drunk, “My wish for everyone on this Fourth of July is...May you live in the Land of the Free from belligerent drunken stalkers with weak bladders and foul mouths. (that's not too much to ask right ?) Peace! I'll raise my glass of Bellissima Prosecco to that...Cheers Happy 4th to everyone!”
The woman who Brinkley accused of using her yard as a toilet tells another story about what happened.
Erica Remkus, 36, said that she was not drunk and just really had to pee after watching a fireworks show but could not find a bathroom for hours. She says where she ended up going was on public property and Brinkley sprayed her with a hose trying to get her to move.
"The fact is she sprayed me for no reason," Remkus said. "Because she said I was on her beach. She sprayed me multiple times. Not for peeing. For being on her 'public beach.' She didn't 'spray a peeing woman.' She sprayed a woman fully clothed standing on a public beach."
The police were called to the scene but did not find any criminal activity going on upon arrival. Remkus, however, says she is considering pressing charges against Brinkley.
