Sydney Leathers Crashes Sexting Partner, Anthony Weiner, Concession Party
Anthony Weiner was leading the polls after he announced his mayoral candidacy for New York. However, the votes plummeted when his sexting partner, Sydney Leathers, revealed their relationship.
As of Sept 10, Mr Weiner got only 5 per cent of the votes, lagging far behind from Bill de Blasio, Bill Thompson, Christine Quinn and John Liu.
He had accepted his defeat and gave his concession speech.
"We did not win this time. But I could not be more proud of the campaign that we ran,"We never backed down. We never ducked."
However, the drama of the night was not his speech nor was the fact that he had lost the election. The drama happened an hour before his speech.
The drama happened when Ms Leathers crashed the event, wearing a low-cut red dress which exposed her biggies. She blocked the entrance to the restaurant, much to the media's frenzy.
She was asked why she had come to Mr Weiner's event.
"I just felt like I should. I felt obligated after being this involved in the situation," Ms Leathers said.
"I was shocked that he was so high in the polls before the scandal happened. It was shocking to me knowing the type of person he is. He tried to lie about the second scandal and tried to act as if the first scandal was the only thing that ever happened, that he had done wrong and he was this changed man and that's not the case and I am proof of that," Ms Leathers continued.
Mr Weiner's concession speech had to be delayed for an hour because he had to scamper in a near fast food to avoid the controversy being made by Ms Leathers at the entrance of the restaurant.
The scene at Mr Weiner's concession speech was the second time that Ms Leathers derailed Mr Weiner's campaign event.
On Tuesday, Ms Leathers stood outside Mr Weiner's Manhattan campaign headquarters while holding an anti-Weiner sign. Mr Weiner had to change his plans for the day.
Ms Leathers' sign reads: "Don't vote Weiner. Download 'Weinerizer,'"
"Weinerizer" is a parody of Britney Spears "Womanizer" recorded by Ms Leathers herself.
