Huma Abedin contemplated suicide amid Anthony Weiner sexting scandal
Huma Abedin suggested she contemplated suicide as her estranged husband Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal exploded into the national spotlight, she revealed in a new interview.
The long-suffering former top aide to Hillary Clinton opened up in her first-ever TV appearance about the emotional and mental toll Weiner’s sicko behavior had on her.
“You write that, for a brief second, you contemplated walking off the subway platform?” “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell asks Abedin, whose memoir is set to hit shelves on Tuesday.
“Well, one of the best things I’ve had in my life is my faith, and the belief that there is always a way through,” Abedin, 45, replied.
At the end of the interview, O’Donnell asked Abedin — who shares 9-year-old son Jordan with Weiner — whether she’s still “angry” with the disgraced congressman.
“I can’t live in that space anymore,” she said. “I tried that. It almost killed me.”
Asked to characterize her relationship now with Weiner, as they continue to finalize their divorce, Abedin replied, “We are good.”
“He is my co-parent, and I learned the full truth, I processed it and moved on,” she continued. “I wish him well. He, I hope, wishes me well. I think he does.”
Abedin discloses for the first time in her new book that Weiner’s infidelity went beyond the X-rated texts he sent and received from various women, the interview reveals.
“I know it’s hard for you to say it, but you found that he was having physical relationships in your apartment?” O’Donnell asked, prompting Abedin to respond with a simple, “Yes.”
She added, “It was that moment that I realized the way I had been handling my response to him was not working.”
