Weiner Dated His Former Press Secretary

Early Monday morning, the NYP reported the names of the string of women that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Johnsonville) dated in his allegedly Playboy past. One of whom was Serena Torrey, former publicist for New York magazine.

But what people may not realize is that Torrey was once the congressman’s press secretary back in 2001. True enough, Gawker has referred to her as the “ice goddess publicist,” and the phrase fits. Word of romance between them spread even back then amongst Hill leadership aides, but it wasn’t clear if she dated him while working for him.
