Ruby Rippey, a former aide of California Governor Gavin Newsom, has finally shared her side of the highly publicized affair scandal that made waves around two decades ago. Newsom, who was serving as mayor at that time, was newly single and began an affair with Rippey, who was married to one of Newsom’s closest advisors.
As Rippey publicly recounted her version of their affair for the first time, the governor also issued a brief response, acknowledging the events.
How did Gavin Newsom respond to Ruby Rippey’s essay?
Shortly after Ruby Rippey’s essay in Vanity Fair surfaced, Newsom’s team issued a public statement on his behalf. The governor declined to address his ex-mistress’s claims directly but chose to stand by his previous apology after the affair first became public in 2007.
