Come on, admit it -- you want to be able to take a little piece of the Anthony Weiner scandal and claim it as your own. It's OK! We do too. And that's why we are thrilled to discover that sextee and former porn actress Ginger Lee once filmed with Chatsworth-based company Red Light District Video. According to Chatsworth Patch, Lee has starred in several videos for the company, including "Swallow My Pride 9."
Lee, if you'll recall, is the woman Weiner told to lie to the press, and consequently the one who may pose the biggest problem for him when his actions are reviewed by an ethics committee. In an email, he asked her if she wanted to speak to a member of his PR team, and suggested a few ways that she might respond to media inquiries as to the nature of their relationship. According to TMZ, he wrote:
"The key is to have a short, thought out statement that tackles the top line questions and then refer people back to it. Have a couple of iterations of: 'This is silly. Like so many others, I follow Rep. Weiner on Twitter. I don't know him and have never met him. He briefly followed me and sent me a dm saying thank you for the follow. That's it.'"
Lee, who quit porn in 2009 and now works as an exotic dancer, also runs a personal website, Ginger Lee's Guide To Life & Other Important Stuff, where she blogs about her daily life, as well as her battle with lupus. She is surprisingly candid about her medical condition, and has refrained from talking about Weinergate online.
