More of Anthony Weiner’s dirty laundry came out on Tuesday, a year after he resigned from Congress in disgrace and admitted he was involved in a long sexting affair with a woman.
Despite the negative image being portrayed of him by the public, Weiner insists he is still in the race to become mayor of New York City.
“People who know me are still going to vote for me,” Weiner said.
At the start of his campaign, Weiner said other instances of his sexual high jinks might be brought to light. And as predicted, it did.
Hours after some of Weiner’s pervy online chats were posted, Weiner gave a statement which confirmed some of the raunchy details and apologized.
Later, he held a press conference with his humiliated wife, Huma Abedin.
“It took a lot of work and whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony … I love him,” she said when she took the podium. “I’ve forgiven him. I believe in him.”
This public icon might have been able to salvage his marriage after his sexting scandal, but other icons haven’t had the same luck.
Here are a few celebrity sexting scandals that went awry.
