Anthony Weiner’s Ex-Wife and Former Hillary Clinton Aide, Huma Abedin, Laments ‘Being Judged’ During Their Marriage

The ex-wife of former U.S. House Rep Anthony Weiner (D-NY) Huma Abedin, who was also a former Hillary Clinton aide appeared today on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash.

During the interview, Abedin lamented about “being judged” during their marriage, which was tumultuous as he resigned from Congress within a year after they were married.

The interview took place as Abedin is promoting a new book that was released, a memoir of her experiences working for Clinton and her marriage to Weiner.

“I do think for me, every time I was making a decision at it related to my marriage, I was being judged big time,” Abedin lamented.

Bash agreed with her, “You were judged big time.”

“I was judged big time,” Abedin said before adding that her situation made headlines as opposed to most people who have to go through something like that.

As Fox News reported, in the end, however, it was her son’s well-being that led to her deciding to leave Weiner, after seeing an image of Weiner’s crotch that he had sent to a woman, with their son visible in the background, sleeping next to Weiner.

The image was published in August of 2016 by the New York Post while Clinton was in the middle of her presidential campaign that Abedin was working with.

Abedin described that picture as the “breaking point” as it ultimately led to federal charges and a conviction for Weiner, who served prison time.

Weiner also had a failed New York City mayoral run in 2013 when more pictures surfaced and he admitted to engaging in the same behavior at a press conference, with Abedin by his side.

Abedin said she appeared with him at the press conference because “I didn’t think it was right for him to go out on his own because I had encouraged him to run.”
