Susanna Gibson, a Democrat running in one of seven tossup House seats in the closely divided legislature, denounced the “illegal invasion of my privacy.”
A Democratic candidate in a crucial race for the Virginia General Assembly denounced reports on Monday that she and her husband had performed live on a sexually explicit streaming site.
Susanna Gibson, a nurse practitioner running in her first election cycle, said in a statement that the leaks about the online activity were “an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me and my family.”
The Washington Post and The Associated Press reported on Monday that tapes of live-streamed sexual activity had been recorded from a pornographic site and archived on another site. The New York Times has not independently verified the content of the videos. The Democratic Party of Virginia did not respond to a request for comment.
Ms. Gibson, 40, who appears on her campaign website in hospital scrubs as well as at home with her husband and two young children, is running for the House of Delegates in one of only a handful of competitive races that will determine control of the General Assembly. Republicans hold a slim majority in the House, and Democrats narrowly control the State Senate, but both chambers are up for grabs in November.
If there’s anything voters hate more than atheists, it’s women that show any sort of sexuality. Juxtapose that with several very high elections and appointments of men who have sexually assaulted women if you’d like to feel a little disgusted this morning.
I’d like to vote for a sex worker for president. They’d be way less likely to assault anyone or be a pedophile than most of the people we elect now.
Yeah I’m sure you will sleep just great after jacking off to a woman who specifically didnt want people viewing her deleted stuff.
Putting things on the internet and expecting people to not find/look at them is laughable. I’d still vote for her, and don’t really care.
Also, it’s a joke. I’m not going to watch it. From the discription it’s way to tame to actually get me off anyway. I need like every orifice filled with something. Preferably some kind of love action tentacle porn situation. Bonus points if their in a fur suit.
Missing the point.
She shouldnt expect it to disappear. But those who go looking for what was deleted and which she doesnt want viewed are messed up because it doesnt bother them what she feels.
Ah yes, feelings. The thing you can lean into and be right about anything. You feel right, so you are. Got it.
Asking to have some empathy isn’t the same thing as asking to use feelings to decide in everything you come across.
So if I understand correctly, our candidate live-streamed sexual activity to Chaturbate, and is mad that someone saved and uploaded the video elsewhere.
Our candidate is a naive idiot.
“Invasion of my privacy without consent” You waived any claim to privacy when you hit the Begin Stream button and invited To Whom It May Concern into your bedroom. The video left your computer and arrived on someone else’s computer, and hence permanently entered the state of being “on the internet.” You’re 40 years old, you and I grew up on the same internet in the same time period, you are both young and old enough to know better.
If you don’t want the entire internet to see your gonads, don’t upload your gonads to the internet. Probably don’t even photograph your gonads in the first place, because your phone probably puts your entire camera folder on the internet anyway.
On the topic of a 40 year old woman and candidate for state office sharing an active and apparently adventurous sex life with her husband: Excellent, carry on. Living as long as I have under the thumb of right wing hypocrites who spend their entire lives trying to criminalize anything except being white, male and straight pausing only to take it up the ass in an airport men’s room, I’d honestly prefer a candidate whose take on the matter is “YEAH I like getting dicked all the way down. Wanna watch?”
It’s the blaming someone else for something YOU did that chuffs my spuds here. You chose to broadcast. And you can’t stop the signal, Mal.
A grown adult woman fucked her grown adult husband on camera for adult friends viewing over chaturbate, and this is a scandal I’m supposed to care about?
The moral colors of the pro piracy wing of lemmy coming out in force with no understanding of consent or nuance.
She’s an idiot if she thinks live streaming porn of herself online was somehow ever going to be private.
Maybe so but Virginia has a revenge porn law and under that this is technically a crime, as it is intended to intimidate her. No one cared about the videos till she was running for office.
I would be too, that’s lost income.
How come it is an invasion of her privacy if they’re live streaming? She’s just stupid.
Wow, what a body…I think this was either really stupid or really. I feel like this might have been leaked on purpose to get publicity…pity/empathy from the female voters and lust from everyone else. Whatever it was, she’s got my vote!
I don’t think it’ll hurt her much; though there certainly is some degree of difference between a private video being leaked and a public livestream being saved / leaked, they’re still both illegal invasions of privacy and hence this will be viewed by most reasonable people as Republican skullduggery rather than any moral failing on her part.
The best way to avoid ones’ sex tapes appearing on the net is not making any in the first place. But that seems to be a bit too compliceated for some.
What a shitty take.
