Peter Cook: "I'm Not a Scumbag Pervert"

Posted Oct 11th 2008 11:33AM by TMZ Staff

Peter CookIn last night's "20/20" interview with Barbara Walters, Christie Brinkley's ex, Peter Cook, claimed he's not a womanizing, sex-crazed pervert. He's just drawn that way.

Cook went on to claim his motivations in the world's ugliest divorce trial were not financial. Comparing his sullied reputation to an "elephant in the room," Cook told Walters he just wants his kids to know the real him.

He must mean the guy who's the loving father and dedicated husband -- not that other guy who bathed daily in online porn and banged his 18-year-old assistant.

1. Why does everyone blame him for the problems...it is not he that has been married FOUR times. To me, Christie is proven to be a bad marriage partner. And folks...she is NOT that pretty, attractive sure...but no raving beauty.

2. Peter - Yes, you are. No matter what the issues were in the marriage.....sleeping with a 19 year old makes you a SCUMBAG.

3. AWHHHHHH, he just wanted attention from his wife....great way to go about it. As for his comment on "coming clean" , the only reason he admitted anything was because the teen's father came forth and disclosed everything to CB!! Then he said, he increased "their" wealth five times, from a measly $60 million to $80 million. Where I went to school that is a far sight short of five times...besides real estate was going up ANYWAY, so the increase seems more a matter of the market increase vs his skills!!! To me it appeared he did this interview to get CB back...LOL! He said, she didn't give me a chance to talk to her about it, she just threw him out....good for you CB!! Smart woman! Glad you were smart enough to have a pre-nup also, maybe Paul McCartney should have talked to you before he got married.....

6. So.....#1 comment - we're not supposed to blame him, but he can blame HER? Get real. Whatever their problems in the marriage, at least Christie didn't find a teenager to have sex with. And, P.S. -- Peter's been married before, too.

8. DIRT BAG!!!!!!!!
He spent over 3000 bucks a MONTH on online porn!
He banged his 18 year old assistant and bought her boobs.
This guy is a major pig, perv and dirt bag and no amount of interviews on his part will change that.
DIRT BAG!!!!!!

9. I know it's Christian to forgive, but I'm not sure I could forgive my husband for such a transgression. Anger typically follows hurt. That said, I'd probably be an evil, vindictive witch. I'd want to punish him, and no punishment would ever be enough to purge my pain. Let's face it: Cook is a Womanizer.

10. Give the guy a break. His wife wasn't being good to him and he was looking to fill a void. Maybe if she paid more attention to her husband then things wouldn't have gotten out of hand.

11. He actually wanted everyone to feel sorry for him as if he was some sort of a "victim." it shows that he could not honor his committment in a marriage. He is more than likely a good Father and loves his children. He is only sorrry he got caught. otherwise he would still be doing what he was doing. It was very easy for him to just go out and find someone new. I don't see Christie B doing that-----

12. Okay, maybe he's NOT a "scumbag pervert", but cheating on his GORGEOUS wife with an 18 yo DOES make him a SCUMBAG. What an jerk...

13. "I'm Not a Scumbag Pervert"

Okay, we'll give you that one Petie, but, cheating on your GORGEOUS wife with an 18yo DOES make you a SCUMBAG.
Have a nice life, loser...
