Christie Brinkley’s ex-husband blamed her for compelling him to cheat her. He said that the supermodel did not meet his demands, needs and attention that he wanted.
"I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage," Cook said. "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 wanted a little acknowledgment, 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," he said. At times, he said, he felt like "I was a guest in someone else's life."
Christie's lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen, released a statement Tuesday saying that Cook may face additional legal action for speaking out about the case.
"It is shocking that Mr. Cook, after having his day in court, would continue this firestorm created by his bizarre behavior by violating an agreement and court order that prohibits either party from discussing their marriage or divorce in any public way," Cohen says. " Ms. Brinkley plans to pursue her legal options arising from his gross disregard of the children and the court order.”
Brinkley has agreed to give Cook $2.1 million, most of which went to legal fees.
