Ruby Rippey Gibney, the woman Gavin Newsom had an affair with while mayor of San Francisco, says their relationship wrecked her marriage but was not comparable to experiences cited in the #MeToo movement.
The woman gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom had an affair with when he was mayor of San Francisco spoke out about their relationship on Wednesday after questions about the liaison emerged in the governor’s race. Ruby Rippey Gibney said that although their relationship destroyed her home life, it probably shouldn’t be part of the discussion about sexual misconduct surrounding the #MeToo movement. “I fully support the #metoo movement.
During a GOP gubernatorial debate on Tuesday, Allen and two other candidates blasted Newsom’s relationship with Rippey Gibney, and also criticized Democratic gubernatorial candidate Antonio Villaraigosa for an extramarital affair he had with a television reporter when he was mayor of Los Angeles. The Republican candidates said that in addition to being immoral, the relationships left the men vulnerable to blackmail at a time when they were elected officials.
