Candidate in high-stakes Virginia election performed sex acts with husband in live videos
A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia performed sex acts with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website while asking viewers to pay them with “tokens" or ”tips” for individual requests.
A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia had sex with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific sex acts.
Screenshots of Susanna Gibson on the website were shared with The Associated Press. The campaign for Gibson, a Democrat running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in a district just outside Richmond, issued a statement Monday in which it denounced the sharing of the videos as a violation of the law and her privacy. Gibson called the exposure of the videos “the worst gutter politics.”
“It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me,” she said in the statement. “My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”
I could not care less about such a thing when it comes to a candidate and I wish no one else would either.
She’s being accused of…having sex with her husband lmfao
Now let’s cut to a montage of all the elected men who fucked around on their spouses and had no consequences
If she was anti porn it would be an issue. If she bill herself as a "good Christian", it would be an issue. If it was legal, so what? Porn-loving self professed Christians likely won't vote for her though.
i think it's a positive
Where's the problem? She and her husband were obviously consenting, the viewers were consenting.
Who the hell cares.
The real controversy is that somehow Wapo and AP decided to assist a GOP operative in violating Virginia's revenge porn laws
Chaturbate TOS:
You may not, download, reproduce, sell, rent, perform, or link to any content made available through the Platform, except as expressly permitted by the Community Member and/or Independent Broadcaster, as appropriate, responsible for such content or otherwise as permitted by the rules of the Platform.
Virginia revenge porn law:
Any person who, with the intent to coerce, harass, or intimidate, maliciously disseminates or sells any videographic or still image created by any means whatsoever that depicts another person who is totally nude, or in a state of undress so as to expose the genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or female breast, where such person knows or has reason to know that he is not licensed or authorized to disseminate or sell such videographic or still image is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
It's clear from the TOS that unless Mrs. Gibson expressly permitted dissemination of the materials, that the sites on which they were reposted AND the GOP operative "had reason to know" that they were not licensed or authorized to disseminate the content. That said, it's hard to prove malintent in a political context. GOP operative could simply argue that there was a public interest in this information being shared.
I'm pleased to find this as the top comment. It summarizes my reaction perfectly.
It was pretty vanilla sex between a married couple without a condom, the only kind of sex God likes. You'd think the Republicans would be thrilled.
Seems fine. Sex workers are allowed to have political opinions. These were consenting adults. This wasn't infidelity, because it was a married couple. There's really no controversy here, unless you think sex is intrinsically a bad thing, in which case you're probably repressing yourself and everyone else
Not to mention this is 2023. A candidate who is naked on the internet was bound to happen and we’ve been saying it for over a decade. Okay, it happened. Can we move on and discuss the outrageous problems we as a country and as an entire species are facing? That’s be great.
Oh gosh this is absolutely terrible.
Where?
I'm betting OnlyFans and I have no idea why the AP is being so prudish about it.
The issue is that the videos were deleted from the original site and are now being hosted elsewhere without her consent.
Chaturbate is mentioned.
That's shit is more plain than unsalted butter.
I don't see the problem here.
The only difference between this and other sex scandals that Republicans have ignored is that in this case the woman consented. I'm therefore forced to conclude that they believe consent is the problem. Men can rape all they want because men are dumb animals who just grab women by the pussy and have no actual moral agency, and a woman being raped isn't an issue because she didn't want to do it and is therefore "morally intact". Sex is only a scandal if it's not straight, or if the woman consents. Both of those represent wilfull violations of the rules of their death cult, and must be punished.
The videos were pretty standard sex between her and her husband. Honestly, it'd be cool if they just owned it- respond to gotcha questions at debates etc with a shrug and a "yeah, so?" explain how to tip through the various platforms and then give people links. Seems like reacting as if it's shameful just gives right-wing scolds leverage.
They (the GOP) Had no problems with Melania Trump's naked photos and infact praised her for being so "bold and beautiful" 🤮🤢 but they have a problem with a ("one") Man and ("One") women who are married to each other hosting naked photos of themselves.... and they do not realize the leopards feasting on their faces? Or is that shock and adrenaline keeping them from noticing lmao 🤣😂 fuck the hypocritical GOP fascist..
So? Oh no, someone's having a sex life? Get fucked, prudes. Literally. It'll help you loosen up a bit.
What's the issue here? Other than GQP weirdos upset that they can't get laid?
While it's perfectly legal to record your own sex tape and sell access, I can't imagine how stupid you have to be in order to run for office and think it won't become public and negatively affect your campaign.
She should have come forward with the information when she first decided to run. She would have been able to control the message.
Yet if she was advocating for guns and straight-up shooting political competitors, and a GOP, she’d be feted as ‘standing up for American values’.
Erections have consequences.
I hope that one day our culture moves past this sexual shame bullshit so that grown adults doing completely legal things with each other don't have to worry about shamed for crap like this.
People are going to have to start getting over themselves. As time goes on, there are going to be more and more candidates with similar shit. Younger Millennials/older gen z are going to have a lot who were on Onlyfans. Eventually someone is going to add it to their donate links. As long as it’s consensual, who gives a fuck.
so???
this is a good strategy!
Imagine caring at all
Conservatives are judt weirded out because their sex scandals involve rape/children.
And?
Lol we live in a post trump post bobert world, y'all really think there is anything that would shock me about this story
AP was light on photos, MSN doesn’t share that reluctance: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/virginia-house-democratic-candidate-performed-sex-acts-with-husband-on-webcam-for-tips/ar-AA1gA7t7
Those poor kids. It seems pretty ghoulish of MSN to put multiple pictures of their school aged children in an article about their folks banging on Chaturbate for tips.
MSN was reposting a NY Post story. Would be unsurprising if, in about a decade or, there’re lawsuits alleging emotional distress, lost wages, trauma, etc., against various media outlets.
Lady, you stream yourself and hubby fucking and that's then suddenly an invasion of your privacy? What fucking Looney Toons world is she living?
You are totally right despite the down votes. I concur, that you should not live stream porn of yourself if you don't want people to see that. Her privacy for that act was lost when she turned on that stream.
This is a simple fact of how the Internet works in general. Don't put it online if you don't want someone to see it.
Yeah. 2023 and people still fail to grasp the most simple concepts of how the internet functions.
In the world where those weren't public but behind a paywall.
I see nuance is lost.
okay? a man and woman (or man/man, or woman/woman, or…) should be able to do what they want, as long as enthusiastic consent is given.
what's up with everyone being enthusiastic these days? maybe the first time with someone new but most times it's more like? eh, ok might be fun.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The campaign for Gibson, a Democrat running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in a district just outside Richmond, issued a statement Monday in which it denounced the sharing of the videos as a violation of the law and her privacy.
“My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”
The revelation marked an explosive turn in a contest that will carry significant weight in determining the balance of power in the Virginia General Assembly.
Watkins cited a 2021 Virginia Court of Appeals ruling that found it was unlawful for a man to secretly record his girlfriend during a consensual sexual encounter even if he did not show the video to other people.
Gibson, 40, a nurse practitioner and married mother of two young children, won a Democratic primary in June and is running against Republican businessman David Owen in one of the most competitve districts in the state.
Gibson had an account on Chaturbate, a legal website where viewers can watch live webcam performances that feature nudity and sexual activity, according to the screenshots reviewed by the AP.
The original article contains 739 words, the summary contains 209 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
If you don't approve of porn, this probably matters to you. Thus it's not about Susanna Gibson.
Democrats make it sure hard to support them sometimes. This isn’t conduct becoming of a representative.
Oh get over yourself, no one believes you’ve never looked at porn, you’re in no position to judge
My teachers had sex. My parents had sex. My grandparents had 12 kids, they had lots of sex.
My politicians have sex, sometimes they lie about who with and make statements about lying with the same sex but still get caught with the same sex. I like a politician who has sex, is positive about the act, is big on consent and privacy, and knows the internet grift.
If we want doctors and engineers and teachers and lawyers and cops and businessmen and construction workers and whomever else being represented in our government, if we want experts there to make the laws, I think it would behoove us to have a sex worker or two.
I'd pay for Mitch McConnel nudes (consensually sold) if only to say I owned copies of that tortoises' scrotal sack.
Get over it, lots of people have sex. Unfortunately for us, your parents were among them.
When she gets a campaign donation does a bell ring and she says "ohhh thank you baby?"
Ewwww politics.
