Traci Nobles Writes About Anthony Weiner Scandal In New Book, 'I Freinded You' (VIDEO)

First Posted: 10/12/11 10:31 AM ET Updated: 10/13/11 09:56 AM ET

Traci Nobles, the 35-year-old former cheerleading coach from Athens, Georgia who exchanged explicit text messages with former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), has now written a book about her online affair with the congressman.

The book, I Freinded You (the misspelling is intentional), is set to be published this week. "If anyone would have told me a year ago what would have been in store for me just one year later, I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams," Nobles writes in the book, according to an exclusive excerpt published in the Daily Mail.

Weiner resigned in June after he mistakenly tweeted a photo of his underwear-clad genitalia from his public Twitter account. He initially claimed his account had been hacked, but after more photos and revelations emerged, Weiner admitted to having online relationships with six women.

Nobles exchanged messages with Weiner for nine months. After the scandal broke, she was outed by her roommate, who sent a screenshot of a private Facebook conversation between Nobles and Weiner to the Las Vegas Sun.

But Nobles says that not all of their conversations were sexual. In an excerpt published in the Daily Mail, Weiner complains about his wife's devout Muslim parents, who he describes as "a bit backwards thinking."

"A lot has to do with religion," Weiner, who is Jewish, wrote to Nobles. "Lots of restrictions and how I've never been accepted by them."

"Touchy is a good word for this. It's been touchy and worse from the beginning."

Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, revealed during the Weinergate scandal that she is pregnant.

In September, Republican Bob Turner won a special election to replace Weiner in New York's 9th congressional district.

Correction: This article originally misspelled the title of Traci Nobles' book. The title is I Freinded You, not I Friended You.

Who is this book written for? I cannot think of one segment of the population that would have any interest in reading this. He already resigned and for the moment is staying out of the public eye. I think his family deserves privacy.

Some books should have covers pre-printed with a remainder table sticker.

It clearly pays to have the moral fortitude of an ally cat. Her parents must be so proud. What a feel good success story. Excuse me I have to shower.

Sometimes Murphy of Murphy's Law won't let go. Sometimes it feels like bad luck believes you are his BFF. Weiner keep your fingers off any form of communication that can return to you. Just stick to smoke signals and more code. Safer

I think he should change his name to Willy Weiner and become a porn star.

I understand what has been seen cannot be unseen, but it include it in a book, how tacky.

Shouldn't these male "lovers" win a grammy or something for all what they accomplish while working so hard?

Marriage between high powered, workaholic professionals is hard under the best of circumstances. Sexting is masturbation, not adultery. A.W. was a great congressman and never should have resigned.
