Alexa Ray Joel testified yesterday in her mom Christie Brinkley’s divorce settlement case and said on the stand that Peter Cook treated her well before he married her mother.

But afterward? She said he was constantly on her case, chastising her “if I chewed too loud” and criticizing her piano playing.

Said the aspiring singer/songwriter/pianist: “He was just very critical of me in general.”

Wait — it gets worse. When her lengthy shower caused a leak in the kitchen below in 2003, Cook allegedly stormed into the bathroom and demanded she mop up immediately. When she got downstairs wearing only a towel, he pushed her head into a bucket and yelled, “You clean this up!” she said.

Now we’ve learned that not only did Cook like to spend absurd amounts of money on porn, but he also enjoyed shattering the self esteem of you girls.

Way to pick ‘em, Christie!

Spotted: Rock & roll royals Alexa Ray and father Billy Joel share a laugh during rehersals for the 2008 Rainforest Foundation Fund Benefit Concert in New York City on Wednesday.

The “charity” organization fronted by Sting has recently come under fire after accusations of hoarding money raised at a 2006 concert.

The New York Post recently reported that only 41% of the funds raised at the star-studded concert at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall were spent on saving trees.

The other 59%? Funding for Billy’s booze. (Ok, it’s a cheap shot, but it was slim pickin’s.)
