Cooked Goose

Posted Jul 2nd 2008 5:36PM by Ben Greenman

Christie Brinkley said she was so mad at her estranged husband Peter Cook that her divorce was going to get ugly. She wasn't lying. The trial has now become a portrait of Cook as a sex addict, and not the respectable kind. According to TMZ, he used every medium available: "Cook...admitted he masturbated in front of a web cam and frequented escort, porn and swinger sites, all while married to Brinkley. He also admitted that he had sex with then-teenager Diana Bianchi in his office while she worked for him. He testified he gave Bianchi nearly $300k hoping to keep their tryst on the down low. He said he would leave money for her under a rock outside his office and more cash behind a painting. He also says he bought her a $2000 watch and lingerie."

Is there any chance that demonizing Cook to this degree will actually help his case by making him seem more sympathetic, or at the very least pathetic?
