LOS ANGELES – Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is in the midst of divorce proceedings with his wife, acknowledged in a statement published Tuesday that he is in a relationship with a Spanish-language television reporter.
“It is true that I have a relationship with Ms. Mirthala Salinas,” Villaraigosa said in a statement published in the Los Angeles Daily News. “As I've said I take full responsibility for my actions, and I once again ask that people respect my family's privacy. For my part, I intend to stay focused on my job, and to work as hard as I can every day to be the best mayor I can be.”
Villaraigosa had previously declined to comment, but issued the statement after the paper told him it was set to publish a story about his relationship with the Telemundo newswoman.
Salinas moved off the political beat, which includes coverage of the mayor, about 11 months ago, Telemundo spokesman Alfredo Richard said. He said the station wouldn't comment on employees' personal lives.
Messages left after hours by The Associated Press with Villaraigosa's office and at Telemundo, whose parent company is NBC Universal, were not immediately returned.
The mayor and his wife separated last month after 20 years of marriage. Corina Villaraigosa filed for divorce June 12, a day after the mayor told reporters in a City Hall news conference that he took the blame for his crumbling marriage.
“Villarsalinas” actually rolls off the tongue a bit better. ;)
No está culpable.
So, is he going to change his name to “Villasalinas”?
“Romance” in Atzlan.
Well, he has good visual sense at least...
Speaking out of both sides of his mouth award!
Will we have to refer now to Mayor Villaraigosalinas?
I wonder if he came here to clean her toilet.
Another example of the close relationship between the press and the dimocRAT party.
He has better taste than Bill Clinton......
So now both LA and San Francisco have currently serving philandering mayors..... what a great state! Maybe the CA voters just need to establish publicly funded brothels for their politicians...... /s
I don’t think anyone’s surprised least of all the wife. If Antonio wasn’t the mayor, would Mirthala even looked in his direction? I think NOT!
Continuing he said: "And man is she ever fine. Oh man what a bod. I don't need viagra or cialis, she's so hot. You guys are just jealous. And you should see some of her FRIENDS! I get shaky just thinking of them too. Maybe I can talk her into having some of them join us. You guys should be so lucky! And uh, oh yeah, THIS IS A PRIVATE MATTER! (I can't wait for the weekend to get her out of those clothes. I get dizzy and I'm about to faint with anticipation as it is.")
“Doing the work that legally married women wont do?”
“Publically funded brothels?”
I believe they are called City Hall.
He may have better taste but HE is still a rotten tamale.
Its a cultural thing...family values and infidelity.
Good one!
Yes it is...Go to confession on Sunday and everything is now fine!
