Meagan Broussard Speaks Out About Anthony Weiner Photos, Twitter Scandal

Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) admitted Monday to having inappropriate online relationships with six women. Now, one of those women is speaking out.

Meagan Broussard, a 26-year-old single mother from Texas, says that she exchanged dozens of sexually charged photos, emails, and Facebook messages with Weiner over the course of a month.

It began innocently enough, she says. “On April 20, I clicked on his Facebook page that I 'liked' a video of Rep. Weiner addressing a gathering of construction workers in Washington, DC,” she wrote on Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com site, where the photos of Weiner shirtless first appeared Monday, prompting Weiner's confession.

“I commented that it was 'hot.' That’s the only way I came into contact with him at first.”

“From there, he introduced himself to me over Facebook Chat,” she continued. “Within an hour, we were sending messages back and forth. It became an everyday correspondence.”

Broussard says she susp­ected Weiner was corresponding with other women. "This is something that's regular, he's done all the time, he's comfortable,” she recalled thinking when Weiner began corresponding to her, in an interview with Sean Hannity scheduled to air on Fox News Tuesday night.

Not all the messages were sexual, she told Hannity. "They weren't always like that. But, most of the time it
was, hey, how are you doing, what are you -- you know. And it went on from there."

She said she sent Weiner photos of herself, but not risque ones. “There's PG-13 ones, but nothing that I would ever be embarrassed about," she said.

ABC News also said that it "licensed" photos from Broussard.

“All of this still makes me really nervous. I live in a small town. I don’t want this and all the anxiety that comes with it,” she wrote on BigGovernment.com. “I was worried that all of my personal messages and photos were going to come out, and so I came forward. I just hope to be left in peace."

I like how these "informers" who destroy other people unwittingly impugn their own character in the process. What was this lady doing carrying on such a relationship with a married man? Why isn't she being criticized and demonized. She let it go on, and in fact, she initiated it.

I understand that Weiner admitted what he had done, but I ask you, who had to reveal it. There were other women who have kept quiet, but not this woman, and certainly not brother Andrew!
She is a right winged conservative. She played him and he fell for it. His sex life IS NO BODY'S BUSINESS, but his wife had to know that he was a sleeze. A lot of men who are in the public eye ARE, but so are the women attracted to them.

oh yes, I ALWAYS respond to my Congressman's actions by saying "hot". She sounds so innocent (rolls eyes). What the media is not reporting, but what is evident from the transcripts with the Las Vegas women - AT LEAST - is that some of these women were much more of the pursuer than the pursuee. Not that I condone Weiner's actions. However - let's get real ... this is a non issue and it was between consenting adults. Weiner should not resign.

She came forward to Fox and Briebart because she wanted to be left in piece?

She's cashing in. (And isn't there a word for women who sell anything for money?)

I ain't saying that she's a gold digger ... but the push to sell her story has gained vigor

i agree, that photo came from someone and it was not the stork, she knew the person to contact because she had the right piece of material and outed his facebook buddy, she must be desperate for cash

I KID YOU NOT - There is Facebook page where she is called a NEWS PERSONALITY!

well next to some of the other news personalities she seems downright cuddly, and intelligent.

"I jumped into the media spotlight so I would be left alone.... So I contacted Breitbart and Fox with the hopes that no one would know my identity as I would be embarrassed by this. Wouldn't want my friends to know that I had been communicating with a married Congressman."

HA! what a laugh.... She'll be selling her story for weeks to come.
What's her real story?

I have to admire Anthony's taste in women. Megan Broussard is a fox!

Oh right- and the way you choose to be "left in peace" is by going straight to Fox network, the only place in the US that is so obviously trying to destroy the democratic party? I have much more disgust for this woman than I do anyone else involved in this story. ANY female who tries to capitalize on this - ONLY after it becomes public, is nothing more than a sleazy, cheap trick in my opinion. I am ashamed of my fellow females.

Fox Lies reaches new heights of Hypocricy by trotting out the faux Victim.
Maybe the woman could take some lessons from the half time governor from Alaska and Roger Ailes, who are attempting to perfect the act of Wambulance Whining.

Your comment shows a true disregard for facts with a bent on ranting regardless of what is or isn't.

This woman and the others who have come out of the woodwork have some nerve. They were all willingly participating in the exchanges with Weiner but, now that this has become a scandal, they can't wait to get their names in the news and throw Weiner under the bus. This particular woman is married and seems to have no problem exposing her family to this mess. Does she really think she is just a victim? Astounding!

you may want to re-read paragraph two - top line.

A victim? When did the word victim enter into the picture? There were NO victims in any of this. Victims do not willingly participate with their supposed attackers, especially for years!!
I agree with you and all the others - these women are nothing but cheap witches!

better question is why she went to breitbart instead of the tabloids with the deep pockets

why is that exactly?
