Christie Brinkley's lawyer is talking to "The Insider" about her ex-husband Peter Cook's appearance on Friday night's episode of ABC newsmagazine "20/20." In the "20/20" interview, Cook seems to seek to redeem himself in the public eye after a very public divorce with Brinkley that revealed that he had used pornography and had an affair with a teenage woman. He tells Barbara Walters in the interview, "My hope is that the world will see that I'm not the scum bag pervert that I've been painted to be. The misinformation that came out during the trial is the elephant in the room. It's the elephant in the room for my kids. And I'm hoping maybe if I can correct some of the wrongs." On behalf of Brinkley, lawyer Robert Stephan Cohen, released the following statement: "Christie Brinkley initially sought to settle this matter privately. The state of NY is an open court system. It was Mr. Cook who sought to lock the courtroom to the media. Judge Cohen applied the law and Peter's request to bar the media was denied. This was not Ms. Brinkley's doing, it was the law." "Mr. Cook has chosen to breach the confidentiality agreement in the divorce settlement, a provision agreed upon in court to protect the children and allow them to put this ordeal behind them. "This is a tragedy. Mr. Cook has proven once again that the court appointed psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Herman was right when he testified that Peter Cook has an insatiable ego and needs constant reassurance. Mr. Cook continues to put himself first, ultimately hurting the children. "The court awarded Ms. Brinkley full custody of the children and all decision making concerning them. That decision speaks for itself. "Ms. Brinkley plans to explore her legal options." Earlier this week, "The Insider" confirmed that Brinkley had requested a restraining order against her ex-husband, and it was denied. Her attorney said at that point, however, "The Court Order mandates that since Peter Cook has the children this weekend, his parenting has to be away from his home and he can't expose them to the '20/20' broadcast. Christie Brinkley's sole concern is to protect her children." On the other hand, Cook's attorney, James Winkler, told "The Insider", "The restraining order they sought was to suspend visitation this weekend because of the "20/20" broadcast, which Mr. Cook never had any intention of showing to the children. The restraining order was denied."

Christie Brinkley's ex husband Peter Cook says he regrets having an affair during the couple's 10 year marriage.

The former supermodel filed for divorce 2 years ago when she discovered he was cheating on her with his teenage assistant Diana Bianchi, now 21.
Christie Brinkley's ex-husband Peter Cook has spoken. In an interview with Fox News,  Cook says his biggest regret is that he did not make a "better decision" three years ago when he had an affair with the then 18-year-old Diana Bianchi. Cook said that if he could go back and do it over again he would have said, "No, I'm a married man." Brinkley and Cook's divorce trial ended Thursday, with Brinkley winning sole custody of the couple's two children, Jack and Sailor. The days leading to the court decision involved many private matters being made public. Cook expressed the fact that he was resentful when asked how he felt about everything being "dragged through the public mud."  "Christie has been waving a victory sign as though she just a won a war and I just don't see how there's a victory for anyone at the end of a fourth marriage and what these children were exposed to unnecessarily, I don't see the victory in it."  The architect says that he does not regret the ten years that he was married to the supermodel. As for his current relationship with Brinkley, Cook reveals that it is "very strained" but he believes that eventually it will heal.

According to reports, lawyers for both Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook were thrashing out a divorce settlement until 6:15 this morning, and everyone's got what they wanted. Christie is getting sole custody of her kids. Peter keeps his porn addiction.

The agreement was reached early this morning after an "all night" negotiation session at a Manhattan hotel, which follows eight grueling days of horrid details in their high profile divorce.
Christie Brinkley and her estranged hubby Peter Cook have reached a settlement in their divorce case, "The Insider" has confirmed. Christie will get sole custody and Peter will receive parenting time. Christie will also give Peter $2.1 million dollars while she gets to keep all properties. In a statement to "The Insider" her attorney Robert Stephan Cohen says, "After five days of trial and for the sake of their children, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook have reached an agreement. Ms. Brinkley received sole custody and decision making for the children. Peter Cook was granted parenting time and a financial settlement of $2.1 million. Ms. Brinkley will continue to individually own all of her real estate properties." "The Insider" was there as the estranged pair entered the courthouse this morning, where the former model said she was "very pleased" with the settlement, adding that she "had been up all night" and didn't sleep "a wink." Meanwhile, Peter told the press, "I didn't think we'd be here today." Soon after exiting the courtroom, Christie talked to the press, saying, "I was here fighting for custody and I think a mother's greatest fear is someone trying to take her children, trying to get custody of her children, and that's what I was up against. [The settlement] is all I could every want." Meanwhile, all Peter said while leaving was that he was "relieved." The attorney for Peter's former mistress, Diana Bianchi, has given "The Insider" an exclusive statement saying, "the settlement should put an end to this chapter in all of their lives and Diana is looking forward to moving on and putting this all behind her. This has been a media frenzy and put her in the spotlight and she is looking forward to regaining her private life again. She is all grown up and becoming a woman and looks forward to embracing her future."

A source tells the New York Post that, after another day of battling in divorce court, Christie Brinkley made a peace offering to Peter Cook in the form of a call to his cell phone. The 54-year-old beauty reportedly offered to stop challenging Cook's present visitation schedule with their children -- Jack, 13, and Sailor, 10. But Cook, dissatisfied with the current arrangement, turned her down, says the Post's source. "Marriage is partnership," Cook told a reporter when asked to on Brinkley's four marriages. "If you are not a partner, it will fail." And failed marriages can be costly. The Post's source claims that Cook has paid roughly $1 million in legal fees since splitting with Brinkley in June of '06. Earlier today, the hearing went on an unexpected recess, and Christie told "The Insider" that she was hoping for an end to the case soon.
