Ruby Rippey-Gibney — the former San Francisco City Hall aide whose affair with Gov. Gavin Newsomnearly upended his political career — will tell her side of the story for the first time in an upcoming Vanity Fair piece, The California Post has learned.
Details of the piece remain unclear, but a source familiar with the matter said Rippey-Gibney intends to recount her perspective on the affair that rocked San Francisco politics in 2007 and has remained one of the most embarrassing moments in then-mayor Newsom’s life and career.
The story comes as Newsom is widely expected to launch a 2028 presidential campaign after terming out of the governor’s office next year.
David Latterman, a San Francisco political analyst, said it’s difficult to say how damaging the piece could be to Newsom without knowing all the details. But he noted that the tenor of politics and traditional fallout from scandals has changed in large part due to the constant news cycle.
“What would be really sad is if Democrats make a bigger deal out of this than Republicans for self-flagellation,” Latterman told The Post….
…
Newsom acknowledged the affair in early 2007, after his longtime political adviser and former campaign manager Alex Tourk discovered the then-mayor had engaged in a sexual relationship with his wife Rippey-Gibney, who at the time worked as Newsom’s appointments secretary at City Hall.
Tourk, who declined The Post’s request for comment, resigned after confronting Newsom, and the mayor held a news conference apologizing publicly and describing the affair as a “personal lapse of judgment.”
“I want to make it clear that everything you’ve heard and read is true, and I am deeply sorry about that,” Newsom said….
…
Rippey-Gibney has largely avoided speaking publicly about the affair, but she briefly resurfaced during Newsom’s first gubernatorial campaign in 2018…..
It appears that Democratic politicans with affairs ARE being outed at this time….
