Over the years, former Congressman Anthony Weiner has found himself the center of severalscandals.
Before the scandals broke, Weiner was a respected member of Congress.
After the headlines, he resigned from Congress and dropped his bid for New York City mayor.
He was eventuallysentenced to prison in 2017for the crime.
“I have a disease but I have no excuse” (perNBC News).
While he pleaded guilty, he shared that he originally felt his behavior wasn’t a problem.
Given this ordeal, it’s no surprise that his marriage to his wife, Huma Abedin, crumbled.
Recently,Abedin sharedmore about why her marriage to Weiner fell apart.
Sheworked alongside Hillary Clintonfor over 25 years and was respected by many for her extensive career in politics.
However, her husband’s scandals were hard for her to navigate.
As she toldCNN’s Dana Bash, “That was the point where for so long …
I was saying, ‘I don’t understand.
I don’t understand.
Why can’t you just knock it off?'”
His son’s face is visible in the photo.
Rightfully so, Abedin said the final straw for her was when theNew York Postpublished the photo.
She soon began divorce proceedings.
