Sleazy six-word comment Gavin Newsom allegedly made to staffer about ‘pregnancy weight’ before she became his mistress

Ruby Rippey, the ex-wife of aide Alex Tourk and former mistress of Gavin Newsom, published a Vanity Fair essay detailing their affair. Rippey alleges the then-San Francisco mayor made a sleazy six-word comment regarding her pregnancy weight. She further claims that Newsom's memoir does not provide the full truth about their relationship. In response to these explosive details, Gavin Newsom has spoken out to address the claims made in Rippey's new tell-all piece published on Tuesday.
