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

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.

32. He obviously wants Christys attention here, he came off sad, kinda sucidal actually and the girlfriend bit was weird cause he didn't sit in with her, she seemed expendable. He's paying for his behavior and actually for all his money he seems to not like himself the most. He needs prayer.

33. First - a man being sexually attracted to what's universally considered a sexually attractive young woman is more-than-likely normal; however, that he couldn't decipher between his marriage and his sexual desire shows an immaturity most norms place with teenagers. The fact that the woman has been married a number of times is irrelevant and has no barring on anyone other than her (and potentially those four fellows of which she married). Perhaps she believes in marriage, that men will be faithful, etc., or perhaps she has the female Peter Pan principle that men will be good to her. I think this marriage demonstrates the mistakes of youth (a vast majority of young people perform in this manner); however, when you make youth-based mistakes at 40-50 than perhaps you need a closer look.

As for everyone passing judgment - you do not want to know what this says about you.

34. This poor guy really got the shaft and I believe every word he says. This whole thing is Christie chose to air the dirty laundry so everyone would feel bad for her, she should have kept quiet for her kids sake. He has everyright to defend himself. I have no doubt he feels terrible, but the lady he is with know seems nice and I hope he rebuilds his life. A huge price to pay......the children love him. I wish him well. Just because your a knock out super model does not mean you can use people and not take care of them.The mistress was a poor choice, he obviously needed to feel important and Christy did not.

35. OK, let me get this straight ! If he confesses to being a porn addict and teenie bopper boinker, and explains why (!), we will not think he is a pervert after all ??? What planet is HE from, anyway ? He is extremely self centered, naive' and Stupid.... He is even MORE perverted than I thought. He needs counseling and some different friends. Who's the Mama that raised this IDIOT. Where's his Daddy ? EXACTLY how DOES a guy turn out Sooooo Socially Retarded like that ?

38. What the f**k is wrong with some of you sympathetic sh*theads??? Peter Peckerhead is a sick bastard who just put his kids into years of therapy because he wanted to "explain" his side of things!!! Is this sick f**k for real? He diddles his weenie online to find acceptance and then boinks his 18 y.o. "assistant." I'm thinking father of the year award here......Mmmm? I'm sure a lot of us have dispicable little peccadillos in our families and background........the difference is most of us know enough to keep it to ourselves. The others go on Jerry Springer or opt for a wider, national TV audience and sell out to BaBwa WaWa. Any sympathies deserve to go to the kids. Peter Peckerhead should do us (and his kids) all a favor and SHUT THE F**K UP!!! And a word of warning to that little "chippy" who apparently thinks being P.P's current girlfriend and going on national TV is O.K.........you think your teenage daughter is safe once P.P. starts feeling ignored by you??? You my dear will surely be a grandmother sooner than you think.

39. There is a lot of blame here to go around for Christie and Peter.One-Peter, he should have not done this interview. Add fuel to the fire for the mags. The kids do not need this fuel. Peter, cheating witha 19 yr. or a 29 yr. Cheating is cheating. He felt lost in the mariage,then he should have told Ms.Christie he felt lost. on-line adult porn, big deal. get your spouse involved it too. Oh shut up, many adults like adult porn via the totally privacy of the net or buying some adult porn Playboy cable. that is not illegal or cheating. Even if he did not tell Christie, that and it wa sbetween him nd his laptop. He was all annonymous with it.
19 yr. Diana Biachi was not raped ,drugged ,forced, etc. or anything against her will. She willingly had a affair with Peter. She is not some innocent ,wet behind the ears kid. She may have been the one to initate the affair. $300,000 = $15,000 for a car, ssomebody please give me that money. I can't have an affair with a MARRIED man though for it or anything illegal.
Chrisite and peter should hav edivorced quietly, behind closed doors, quick ,fast per their pre-nup. They did not need that show for the kids to get hurt adn the mags nadpaps to enjoy and make a fortunte of of your misery. That is all Iblame Chrisite for. Give Peter his share of visitation, the pre-nup amt. Good-bye. Dian, thepaps, themags had a field day and money fromthem. Chrisite, I fault her for gettig rid of Billy. he loved her. He is not perfect. No oneis. She went from bad, Satan , as she sid, RickyTaubman,and bad, Peter Cook. I think Peter and Ricky are brothers . Quiet=dignity=privacy.

40. I saw the interview.He should have not cheated and for that hes wrong.Men r pigs... all men look up porn..most men would bang a girl that looked like her.Its a fact. But we should not forget Christie did cheat on Billy joel and got caught because something happened with the plane or something and she was with the guy she was seeing..I forget.Shes done it too.Shes no better..taking the kids away is not right unless hes a unfit dad...she left him cause he cheated not cause of porn watching.Nuff said..he helped raised all three of her baby daddies kids...

42. Why is a man expecting attention and love from his wife called narcissistic? What's more narcissistic than a woman used to be the center of attention as a "model" and demanding a public trial, posing with a big creepy smile before and after it.

43. This guy needs a full time shrink. He's not at fault????????????? You've got to be kidding, $3000 a month on porn because she doesn't give him any recognition. He's a sick SOB and doesn't deserve to see the kids unless it's under constant supervision by a case worker. Someone that is that hooked on porn cannot be trusted, even with his own kid. They lock up perverts, why not him? He's a typical "it's not my fault, I didn't do anything wrong" s_ _ _ _ _ _ d. He's not worth the crap on the sidewalk.

44. He should have just plugged her in the butt...that would have shut her up.

45. Love, honor....in sickness and in health...till death do us part......unless you get a little selfish and bored, then all of that means nothing. Marriage is not bells and whistles all of the time, but it absolutely incredible when it is good. He said as soon as Christie found out, "I was dead to her". He should have thought about that before he porked a teenager. Cook had a lot on the line, but he risked it all.....no piece of tail is that good. As the saying goes when you cheat, "You think you're getting f----d now, wait until you get caught".
