Ginger White: Herman Cain And I Were 'Involved In A Very Inappropriate' Relationship (VIDEO)

Ginger White says she and Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain had an affair that lasted more than a decade in a report released by Atlanta-based station Fox 5 on Monday.

The Georgia businesswoman said what occurred between herself and Cain was "pretty simple." She explained, "I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship."

White opened up over the weekend about the alleged affair, which she said went on for 13 years.

Fox 5 reports:

When [Cain's] new book, CEO of SELF, came out in 2001, she says Cain once again autographed it for her writing, "Friends are forever! Everything else is a bonus."

Even before White's accusations came to light, Cain sought to do damage control. During an interview on CNN on Monday, the presidential candidate preemptively said he was expecting to face allegations of "an affair for an extended period of time" and denied any wrongdoing.

While Cain did not identify White by name during the appearance, he said of his accuser, "It is someone that I know who is an acquaintance that I thought was a friend."

In the past month, sexual harassment allegations leveled against Cain by multiple women have been thrust into the public eye. The Republican hopeful has vehemently denied their charges.

"Here we go again," Cain said on Monday. "I didn't do anything wrong."

In speaking to Fox 5, White alleged that her physical relationship with Cain ended before the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza launched his campaign roughly eight months ago. She said, however, their communication continued beyond that point.

White predicted that her decision to go public with her side of the story will likely mark the end of her relationship with Cain. Nevertheless, she said, "We have a friendship now."

Convenient that these allegations come out right when he's in the running for president. You're telling me those 14 years something was going between them - if it even was - she doesn't say one word? But at the peek of his career she just throws him under the bus? That's bull. She's disgusting.

Am I completely out of place for feeling bad for this man? I am always curious what these people hope to gain by coming out publicly about secret relationships. A recent study showed that one out of every three couples struggles with infidelity at some point in time. The man is human and maybe he did mess up but maybe he didn't. I understand that the problem with a Presidential candidate having an extra-marital relationship is the fact that it would show proof of the mans character and his level of honesty but is that the best thing to judge him on. Exhibit a. President Bill Clinton he accomplished quite a few great thing's even though his personal life was considerably less than perfect. Don't get me wrong now, I don't like the guy and I would never want him as my President but I just think that people should have come forward years ago if it was serious to them and they weren't just pulling some celebrity stunt.

It also makes a man vulnerable to blackmail or secret manipulation. You see the measures he's going to now to dodge and deny these allegations? You want a president that is emotionally, intellectually and politically paralyzed or neutralized by a shady past? We had that once and it didn't serve the country well at all.

Okay so obama is down in ratings and his wife has an image problem she gets booed at nascar so what do you do if you think Cain is an option for blacks who don't know how to vote? Put cain up to obama now and It makes obama look like the boy next door and put ms. ginger up there and it makes michelle look like june cleaver. Futhermore the dems better watch out there is a group of light skinned black women in the south who have a lot of money legitimately. They are everything Ginger is not married, owners of homes many not renters, and they sleep with their husbands. If this scandal goes to far and taints their image they might pull out of backing the dems all together if they suspect this is a political move on the dems part. That is a lot of money to loose. White women arent for obama anymore most independent white men are out that only leaves black women of wealth who hang in the balance allother blacks are for him. This group of women historically has a record of voting inconsistently they vote both democrat and republican because they have money and white bloodlines. Hope this group dosent get to pissed off by all the negative coverage of miss ginger they should pull their money and support all together an not vote in 2012 giving the win to the republicans.

The other real scandal here is her race. Is this woman black or white? MOst whites thought she was white. If she is black then most people in the state of north carolina must be passing for white. She looks like every so called "white"person in the state of north carolina. If this story about her continues she is going to "out" every white person who is secretly loaded with black DNA still running aroun the south and perhaps the whole world!!!~! There sure was a lot of humping going on behind the wood pile below the mason dixon line cause a lot of so called white folks sure look like Ginger White. Passing for white that is the real scandal here.

She has more credibility than her former boyfriend. But what's really creepy is that people continued to support that man after the sting of sexual harassment charges. A CEO who would insult and harass the people who work for the company he leads - male or female - is unfit for any leadership position.Same as a Speaker of the House or representative who would hit on women. (The reference I'm making here is to an aging, pudgy, white man - not an aging, homely black man.)

He's so guilty he can't even face his wife. The *first* thing he should have done was rushed home to comfort, console, and explain things to her - presidential candidacy be d*mned! That is, if he was innocent that's what he most likely would have done.

Men like Cain don't think like this. In fact, most men think first of themselves, especially when they've been caught doing something illicit or unethical. If they cared about their wives and families, they would think before they do something to humiliate them. This is a great case study for women who think they should stand by a man no matter what. Doubt if old Herman would have stood by his wife if she was the one who had the affair. Men are self-centered. That's why he thought he could get away with the harassment charges in the first place. He is truly ignorant.

I plan on still voting for him. I do not believe any one of these liars. If he loses he loses but I liked him from the beginning. If you were planning on voting for him, do it still. Do not listen to people who are trying to destroy him. It is clear that they are deathly afraid of him. VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE. That's what primaries are for. Herman, You are still my candidate until and unless you are no longer there.

Could it be possible that Herman, Ginger White and Kimberly Vay all had something going on? Just asking, 'cause if that is the case, "Herman you are d-man, you sly old dog!"

Where Is the NAACP if this was a Liberal Black man they would be in th streets. The man has three strikes: 1. He is a Black Republican and a conservative.

2, He has money he made it himself that crosses accross all boundaries.

3. He is not a Politician we do not elect only people who are not professional politicians.

When all thsse money grubbers get through or the people that are paying them to speil this junk line them up for lie detector tests. If they will not take one then they have to retrack their lies.

"...we do not elect only people who are not profession­al politician­s." I do not think that sentence means what you think it means.

How old are you, where are you from, and where did you learn English?

Little boy. If you cannot understand what I wrote nor the meaning therein then go back to grade school. You remind me of the so=called people who greated us back from the NAM war. Provided you were even born yet. I am all of 74 if that is any of your busines went to school somewhere in the USA it is none of your business anyway. The sentence means what I want it to mean. We do not elect only professional politicians. I have been chairman of several people who were not professiional politians. In other words maybe you will get this, i havee seen many people who work for a living, run and get elected. Unlike Barney Franks whose only occupation has been a politician all his life. We do not need any more Barny Franks who does not know how in the heck to make a real living, and he has the guts to tell me what to do?

Well he finally quit, we need strict term limits now. I run two different business as if you care, and keep them going through the Obama years some how, so I do know what I am doing, and to heck with perfect English, it is what I accomplish when I am done that matters.

The mainstream media were delighted to report on Mr. Jackson's child by his mistress, Mr. Sharpton's error in believing a young girl's terrible story, and the shape of Mr. Clinton's private parts. Scandals sell papers, bring in high ratings, and attract lots of leering clicks. That's all the corporate lapdog media care about: the bottom line.

Don't think this was brought up from the left. The left wasn't even looking at Cain. This was someone from the right as they didn't expect Herman to do this well and got nervous so had to bring him down.
