NEW YORK (CBS) Could a former "American Idol" winner be the newest sex tape star?

Court documents filed in a custody dispute between Antwuan Cook and his wife, Paula Cook, are alleging Barrino made a a sex tape with the married man. Barrino is also named in the lawsuit as a "home wrecker."

Paula Cook is seeking custody of the couple's two young children, ages 1 and 4, along with child support and alimony.

According to local news channel WCNC in Charlotte, N.C., the complaint filed Wednesday by Cook's wife says Barrino's arfair with her husband began in August of 2009, a few months after Barrino gave WCNC an interview and described the kind of man she was seeking.

The complaint references a sex tape as one possible element to prove an affair. Court documents say the "Husband and Ms. Barrino have at times recorded their illicit sexual activity."

According to WCNC, North Carolina is one of seven states where a person can be sued for  being a "home wrecker" to a marriage. And, although Barrino is not being sued, she could be. The complaint filed by Paula Cook could be a potential first step in a lawsuit in which she could be "on the hook for millions" of dollars.

Court documents claim that in a phone call, Barrino told Paula Cook, "He don't want you. Maybe the next time that you get a husband you'll know how to keep him. That's why he is here with me."
