GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — Christie Brinkley wants her ex-husband to shield their children from a televised interview in which he explains his affair with a teenager and his Internet-porn proclivities.
Brinkley lawyer Robert Stephan Cohen said Thursday that Peter Cook must keep the couple’s two children, ages 10 and 13, away from the Barbara Walters interview scheduled to air on ABC while he has custody of them this weekend.
“His parenting has to be away from his home, and he can’t expose them to the ’20/20′ broadcast” airing tonight, Cohen said.
Cook explains his infidelity in the interview. “I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage,” he told Walters.
The attorney also filed papers in Suffolk County seeking a temporary restraining order; the divorce became official Sept. 29.
