Christie Brinkley is determined to set the record straight.
The 65-year-old supermodel went on Instagram on Friday to address "haters" and "conspiracy theorists" who say she faked a "Dancing with the Stars" injury that left her with a broken arm.
"It goes against my better judgement to acknowledge haters and conspiracy theorists but because this involves my precious daughter I’m setting the record straight," Brinkley began. "It’s sad that we live in a time where the truth is not as scintillating as hurtful lies."
