Christie Brinkley has fired back after ex-husband Peter Cook appeared on a television show, allegedly breaking the terms of their divorce.
"Christie Brinkley initially sought to settle this matter privately," Robert Stephan Cohen, Brinkley's attorney, told reporters.
"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," he said.
On Wednesday, Brinkley filed for a restraining order after hearing that Cook had conducted the interview, but the judge denied her request.
"My hope is that the world will see that I'm not the scumbag pervert that I've been painted to be," Cook told Barbara Walters on her TV show 20/20 with Barbara Walters.
"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 I can correct some of the wrongs."
However, according to Brinkley's lawyer, he's only made things worse.
"This is a tragedy," Cohen's statement concluded. "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.
Cook continues to put himself first, ultimately hurting the children. The court awarded Brinkley full custody of the children and all decision making concerning them. That decision speaks for itself."
