Peter Cook: There Is No Temporary Restraining Order Against Me

Peter Cook has confirmed a judge rejected a restraining order filed by ex Christie Brinkley to prevent him from seeing their two children as part of scheduled visitation this weekend.

"There was no temporary restraining order issued against [me]," Cook told Usmagazine.com. "Ms. Brinkley sought to suspend my parenting time with our children for this weekend, and her motion was denied."

Brinkley feared her son, Jack, 13, and daughter Sailor, 10, could be negatively impacted after his highly-publicized 20/20 interview interview airs Friday.

(In the interview, he tells Barbara Walters, "I'm not the scumbag pervert that I've been painted to be.")

James Winkler, Cook's attorney, argues that his client, "had no intention of exposing the children to this interview and would be happy to take them away for the weekend if that would make Ms. Brinkley more comfortable - so that's what he's doing."

(Added Winkler: "The judge did point out, from the stand, that it was Ms. Brinkley who sought the open courtroom in the first place during the trial. My client has never had an interest in exposing the children to any of this stuff.")

Brinkley's lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen told Us that the "court order mandates" Cook take the children, "away from his home, and he can't expose them to the 20/20 broadcast.

"Christie Brinkleys sole concern is to protect her children," added Cohen.

Cook and Brinkley finalized their divorce this past week, four months after a bitter public divorce battle. Brinkley received sole custody of the kids.

The couple split two years ago after Cook has an affair with his 18-year-old assistant, Diana Bianchi.

    You know cheating is wrong. He should of told her that it was time to end this marriage and never cheated with a under aged girl. There are many men who look at porn even when they are happy in there marriage. Thats what men do. He deserve to have joint custody of his children they obviously love him and this has nothing to do with them.

    he's certainly not as funny as the Peter Cook that used to work with Dudley Moore a lot. the original Bedazzled movie was extremely amusing.

    I would have had more respect for Mr. Cook if he just divorced his wife with dignity than to cheat and act like the victim. Christie has class. Remember Mr. Cook, the second you cheated on your wife, you also cheated on those children of yours.

    Um, based on how public their divorce was, why is she freaking out about them being able to see his 20/20 interview? What is she so afraid of?
