The husband of the female staffer caught making out with Rep. Vance McAllister, R-La., is speaking out and blaming the congressman for destroying his life and marriage.

On Monday, The Ouachita Citizen published a surveillance video showing McAllister, a Christian lawmaker, passionately kissing his scheduler, Melissa Hixon Peacock, in his office back in December.

As a result, Heath Peacock, 34, says that he is "devastated" that his wife Melissa, 33, cheated on him with McAllister, who also happens to be his longtime friend.

"I'm just freaking devastated by the whole deal, man. I loved my wife so much. I cannot believe this. I cannot freaking believe it. I feel like I'm going to wake up here in a minute and this is all going to be a bad nightmare," Heath Peacock told CNN.

Peacock said he was not made aware of the scandal until Melissa confessed to him only a few hours before the news broke.

"He has wrecked my life," Peacock said of McAllister, adding that he and his wife of six years are "headed for divorce." The couple also has a 6-year-old son together.

"It was just a kiss, that was all it was, but it embarrassed me and my family," Heath Peacock said. "This guy has turned my life upside down."

McAllister, who is married with five children, apologized for the act, saying, "There's no doubt I've fallen short and I'm asking for forgiveness. I'm asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff, and my constituents who elected me to serve."

However, Peacock pointed out that "he's apologized to everyone in the world except me."

"I know his beliefs. When he ran one of his commercials, he said 'I need your prayers,' and I asked, 'When did you get religious?' He said, 'When I needed votes,'" Peacock said. "He broke out the religious card and he's about the most non-religious person I know."

Melissa Peacock no longer works for the freshmen legislator.
