HBO says it’d cancel ‘Cathouse’ before featuring Drew Peterson, suspect in missing wife’s case

HBO: Drew Peterson not welcome on brothel show

CHICAGO — HBO says there’s no chance Drew Peterson will appear on “Cathouse,” its reality television show set in a Nevada brothel.

In fact, HBO spokeswoman Tobe (TOH’-bee) Becker says the network would cancel the show before allowing the former suburban Chicago police officer to appear.

Peterson is a suspect in the October 2007 disappearance of his young wife, Stacy.

Peterson publicist Glenn Selig (SEH’-lig) said Wednesday that his client was weighing an offer from the owner of the Moonlight Bunny Ranch outside Carson City.

Becker calls that a “stunt” that HBO does not condone.

Selig did not immediately comment Thursday. A spokeswoman for the Bunny Ranch says they’re still talking to Peterson.
