Weiner’s campaign manager, Joe Gallagher, also told The New York Post that he supports Weiner’s choice to control the narrative rather than having it be used against him. “It was ‘not something I was very public with … [but] definitely not something I’d say that I find embarrassing,’” Weiner said.
The BDSM session reportedly occurred with his former girlfriend about a year and a half ago at Midtown’s Manhattan’s Parthenon studio. Weiner alleged that she leaked it to her friends who are “also in the scene,” according to The New York Post.
“It’s certainly put a strain on the friendship,” Weiner told the outlet.
