Peter Cook: "I'm Not the Scumbag Pervert I've Been Painted to Be"
Wednesday October 8, 2008
![]() Matthew Stockman/Getty Images; Diane L. Cohen/Getty Images Three months after settling his bitter public divorce, Peter Cook still is blaming ex Christie Brinkley for his affair with an 18-year-old assistant. "I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage..." he tells Barbara Walters in a 20/20 interview (airing Friday). "I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner... I think I just suddenly realized when I was getting attention from someone else that this is something that is missing in my life." See photos of Hollywood's ugliest divorces. Asked what he wanted out of his marriage, Cook tells Walters, "a little acknowledgement, a little attention, a little thank you every now and then for my efforts, for the amount of time I took to care for her and my family, for the wealth I was building. "Just the tremendous amount of work I was putting into my family... my world became her world," he went on. "It had to be that way... there came a time when I pulled up the driveway to the home that I found, that I built, that I lived in, and I felt like I was a guest in someone else's life." Cook said he decided to speak out now because he hopes "the world will see that I'm not the scumbag pervert that I've been painted to be. "The misinformation that came out during the trial is the elephant in the room," he added. "It's the elephant in the room for my kids. And I'm hoping maybe if I can correct some of the wrongs." What if Brinkley watches the interview? "What I hope comes of it is that she takes the time to heal herself. And she goes back and remembers that I made a mistake, but that I am that person that she wrote the poems about, that she raved about in magazine articles and anybody who she could get... twist their ear to listen," Cook said. "I am that person today, that I was then." In light of the interview, Brinkley's attorney has issued the following statement: "It is a measure of Peter Cook's character that he has breached the confidentiality agreement that is in the divorce settlement and has sought to present this distorted one sided view of his marriage. "Mr. Cook had his days in court, testified on his own behalf and ultimately agreed with the view of the children’s court appointed attorney and psychiatrist that the children should live principally with their mother and that she should be the sole custodial parent."
