Porn Star Says Representative Weiner Asked Her to Lie
Reuters ^ | June 15, 2011 | Michelle Nichols

A porn star said on Wednesday that embattled Representative Anthony Weiner asked her to lie about their e-mail relationship in the hope that an Internet sex scandal surrounding him would die down.

Ginger Lee, who is also a stripper, said her exchanges with the Democratic lawmaker from New York began with political discussions of abortion rights and healthcare but Weiner kept trying to sexualize the conversation. She said she never reciprocated his lewd messages.

Weiner denied for more than a week that he sent a close-up photo of himself in boxer briefs to a woman in Seattle on May 28, claiming his Twitter account had been hacked. But on June 6 he tearfully admitted he had lied and that he had inappropriate exchanges with six women, some after he was married.

As bipartisan calls grow for Weiner to resign, he has instead been granted a two-week leave of absence so he can get professional treatment at an undisclosed facility.

"He asked me to lie about our communication," Lee told a news conference in New York, flanked by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred. "I knew I couldn't lie for him but I didn't want to be the one who kicked him under the bus."

"I think that Anthony Weiner should resign because he lied. He lied to the public and the press for more than a week," she said. "If he lied about this, I can't have much faith in him about anything else."

Allred said Lee had about 100 e-mails that she had exchanged with Weiner since March, when he initially contacted her on Twitter after she posted a supportive blog about him.

If I’m rich and powerful and having frequent communications with a porn star that involves pictures of my tool, I’m either having sex with her or trying to. period.

She’s certainly no less credible than a congressman. At least a porn star makes an honest living even if I disagree with the morality of her job.

If he quits, why would Huma stay with him? Instead of being married to an influential congressman, she would have a husband who is only a has-been and therefore beneath her station.

Maybe I am wrong. Perhaps she really married him for his charm, warmth, and lovable personality.

Excuse me but, as a professional actress in the adult entertainment industry, isn’t it actually your JOB to lie?

You might better define "morality"
with a few pictures to help us poor FReepers
determine her innocence (or whatever).

Because Weiner can make a comeback, just like Spitzer!

Somehow, I knew Gloria Allred would rear her ugly head in this mess.

Bet Huma is pissed that she didn't hire her first.

It would be more shocking would it not, if he’d
asked her to tell the truth~!
