When Huma Abedin’s Private Life Went Public

October 18, 2021 · 5:04 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Huma Abedin has an excerpt of her new book in Vogue on the moment she got a text message from her then-husband, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY): “My Twitter was hacked and someone posted a photo. There might be a story, but I am working on fixing the problem. Nothing for you to worry about. See you soon.”

“He told me not to worry, so even though the concept of being hacked was unsettling, I didn’t. I just saw this as yet another item on the unending stream of incoming. Anthony was the problem solver in our relationship, and since he said he was handling this one, I was sure he would.”
