My Story
by Meagan BroussardMy name is Meagan Broussard. I am 26 years old. I served in the U.S. Army, and I am a full-time college student and a single mom.
I admired Rep. Anthony Weiner because I had seen a video of him standing up for the 9/11 responders. It was a rant, but he came across as someone very passionate, someone who cares about what he believes in. I didn’t know much more about him.
On April 20, I clicked on his Facebook page that I “liked” a video of Rep. Weiner addressing a gathering of construction workers in Washington, DC. I commented that it was “hot.” That’s the only way I came into contact with him at first.
From there, he introduced himself to me over Facebook Chat. Within an hour, we were sending messages back and forth. It became an everyday correspondence.
We chatted often, but I wasn’t always available. It was “Hello, how are you doing, where are you going,” that kind of thing. Sometimes, it was more personal. I don’t want to get deeply into all of that.
I don’t want to portray him as a horrible person because I just don’t know him.
I was contacted and asked to tell my story. I finally came forward last week because I saw on television that Rep. Weiner had hired an investigating firm to go through all of his files. I worried that there would be people looking at my pictures and messages. I was nervous, but decided that since my messages with Rep. Weiner were going to come out anyway, I wanted to tell my own story rather than have other people talking about me when they didn’t know anything.
I’m not on a crusade to “take him down.” I just acted to protect myself and my family.
I have nothing against Rep. Weiner. I think he was intrigued by me because I am different than the people he normally meets. I don’t know why he opened up to me in certain ways, but that’s the best explanation I have.
He was trying to get me to talk about myself sexually, and I said, straight up, I’m not an open book. I was real blunt. He would ask me weird things, like “Did you miss me?” I didn’t understand that–how could I miss someone I hadn’t met and didn’t know? What is there to miss about me if you don’t even know me?
He said that he was an open book, maybe way too open. And after that he said to me that I was “too fucking real,” not like other people who were all over him. He realized that I wasn’t taking the bait, and I think that intrigued him enough to send messages to me and open up to me and try to be real, too.
At first I was skeptical that I was really talking to Rep. Weiner, so I asked him to take a picture of himself, which he did. Then I asked him to pick up the phone and call me. I had to hang up because of something that was happening on my end, but then I called back and heard a voice saying, “Congressman Anthony Weiner’s office,” so I hung up. He asked me if I was satisfied, and I guess I was–I didn’t pursue that any more.
Talking to him was sometimes a turn-off because he was so open and just so full of himself, as if he were looking, searching for something. I don’t know if he loved telling me his personal business. I didn’t want him to say more, didn’t want to hear stories about sex with famous people. But I guess he needed to express himself.
All of this still makes me really nervous. I live in a small town. I don’t want this and all the anxiety that comes with it. I was worried that all of my personal messages and photos were going to come out, and so I came forward. I just hope to be left in peace.

Weiner would fall into the class of online predators,real nice guy buuutttttttt!
RESIGN NOW MR. WEINER !!!
THE MOST ARROGANT POS IN CONGRESS.
Need full investigation to see if any government computers or systems were utilized.
WOW, OMG.. He needs to GO… They drive every Republican that has been in a compromising position OUT.. HE NEEDS TO GO..
good luck to you, Meagan…and thank you for your service.
It's fitting that a failing president has an administration full of perverts and liars…but hey..I'm just a racist redneck t-bgr..or so their president thinks I am.
Resign!
She shouldn't be so hard on poor little Anthony…
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
Yes, as it turns out, Weiner is not just a douche, but he's a predator to boot….
Didn't your Mother ever warn you to stay away from strange Weiner?
The Weiner sounds more insecure, sad, and lost the more I hear about him..
I hope his resignation from Congress will be the end of it…
Not holding my breath, though….
No one blames you or is judging you. You are one soul in a very fouled up world. I hope that you find what ever happiness and peace in this world you are able to eek out of it.
We blame Weiner for not holding sacred the public trust and behaving in a manner that left him open to blackmail or far worse.
To us Weiner is a walking used prophylactic who needs to be politically discarded.
Silly conservative! Rules are for Republicans, and double standards are twice as nice!
;-D
Well, what about this?
"Then I asked him to pick up the phone and call me. I had to hang up because of something that was happening on my end, but then I called back and heard a voice saying, “Congressman Anthony Weiner’s office,”
Sounds like he was using the government phones.
Mark my words. This woman will be dragged through the mud by every left-wing attack-dog organization in the COUNTRY. I truly feel for her and her family.
Wiener needs to truly apologize, and resign. Anything less is simply lip service.
Meagan, you probably won't read this, but thank you for telling us your story. It took guts.
And thank you for your service in the Army.

If this all happened before he was married, it just means that he is one of those cretins who always had a hard time getting a date – but then made some money (or got an important job) and now thinks he is irresistible. Creepy, yes. Uncommon, no. If he was using his taxpayer-funded computer and phone to carry on, he was out of line. And if he kept doing this stuff after he was married (and it appears he did) then he's in a whole other class of scum.
Either way, we need serious people in our elected offices, not some narcissistic cretin who is spending his time trying to leverage is office into getting laid. He needs to go away.
The real story here is that the Old Media would be all over this if it had been a Republican politician. There is no doubt, and no denying that journalism is dead, and the media is irreperably biased.
Your Fired!Do not pass go and no Bennies
Who cares?
You continued to have innappropriate communication with a married man.
What if he didn't get caught? How far were you prepared to go?
Sorry, but if it makes you nervous, did you ever stop to think what you were doing was probably WRONG?
So, I guess now that you've dumped on him and told your sad story, you want to be left in peace?
I truly hope you are not in school to become a psychologist.
Thank you for serving our country Ms Broussard……………………..and beware of internet perverts.
sincerely……. chopper.
She's very influential, especially after this and if the libs push her with their intimidation and vile tacts she'll no doubt be bringing many new voters to the middle. We can only hope they just keep acting like they do, it's done wonders for the G.O.P so far.
So you released your personal communications because you didn't want them to become public?Good job honey, I hope they paid you well. Why are you coming out now.?After his press conference you could have remained a private person. There was going to be no investigation. If what you are saying is true your worries would be over but yet here you are. Weiner acted like a creep and apologized for it. You are just as greasy, actually worst exploiting a personal situation in which you were not mistreated in any way for personal gain. Someone who kisses and tells is one of the lowest forms of scum.
There are tons of websites that promote this kind of behavior. Sign into one. You'll find out that they are your neighbors.
Doesn't make it right.
But these troubled souls deserve pity.
Weiner deserves a grill. On high heat.
Oh please. Stop playing dumb. He was flirting with you. What more is there to understand? You're obviously a liberal covering up for another liberal and are just trying to save your own reputation now that his contacts are going to be made public.
So now you attack her . . .
Oh my, how the plot thickens.
I wonder, did she star 69?
This gall ought to think about who she befriends, and how she does so. I can understand her desire to be left alone in peace, but you can;t just say a married congressman called you and wanted to tell you about his sexual exploits and then ask people to hush about it.
This gal is gonna be hounded until Weiner resigns because some folks just won't be capable of leaving that bone alone. Good luck to this gal, but she opened a can of worms with that bit.
She had to do this because he is a (D) that means he is a liar thus willing to throw anyone under the bus to protect his pathetic identity. I'm sure the libs would spin this to be her fault had she not publicly got to tell her side of the story first.
We'll know soon enough.
Two words:
Vitter
Ensign
I don't know about anyone reading this, but I have had conversations with lots of people on line-in chat- who I've never met. And they seem innocent enough until something happens. I don't judge you. And I hope that it all works out.
And wow, a few of you in these comments are either hypocritical judges–or partisan jerks.

But a Congressman sending pictures of his junk is squeaky clean? I think you're focusing on the wrong thing there. Don't blame the messenger, blame the Congressman who apparently couldn't control himself and pursued women while in office, while married. Also, don't pretend that all conversations and photos wouldn't eventually be found out and brought into the public eye. In this technological age nothing that anyone has ever done online is safe, and this young woman decided to bite the bullet and admit her part and her side before someone else did it.
I believe they call it, "Beating them to the punch"?
You will have to eat left wing media dirt for awhile while this scenario calms down Meagan. Hold your head up high and say to yourself that you did nothing wrong per se. I'm sure there are many women out there that will relate to your story about the Weiner. I hope they all come forward so this perverted scumbag will step down from his post as Congressman.
Yes, he is full of himself and obviously has sexual (sociopathic?) issues besides being a loud mouth, marxist narcissist. Thank you for the story and we can read between the lines, so it was not necessary to get down to the nitty gritty details. Good luck.
like clockwork. These liberals are more predictable than the sunrise.
uhhmm no, not exactly – plenty of our repubs have hung in for quite a while . . . ensign, sanford and vitter come to mind. if ya wanna make a case, make it from an informed basis.
"one of the lowest forms of scum. "
YES, THAT YOU ARE!!
The House Ethics Committee needs to remove Weiner from Office. His credibility is destroyed. His judgement can never be trusted. He lied to our Nation, his constituents, his family, colleagues. He cannot be trusted. He opened himself up to blackmail. He is a liability to our Congress!
This is a pattern. Remember that he originally tried to accuse someone else of hacking. Where does this mans unethical behavior end? This is no surprise because he is so arrogant. House Ethics Committee: Please Remove Weiner from Office.
Congressman Weiner also LIED TO THE PRESS! Hmm, what other lies will he tell the Press? This man is not Congressional material by any stretch. He falls under the 25th Amendment, Sec 4, . Unqualified to serve in Office.
Hey troll…maybe you ought to look in the mirror.
Obviously this turd does not want to resign.. It will have to come from his constituents and since his left leaning constituents are mostly all multiculturalists, they can't pass judgement. And since they can't pass judgement, this turd will feel empowered to stay in office.
See you've got that democrat finger pointing down to a rare art form. " I may have done something wrong but don't look at me for creating this situation BECAUSE WHAT YOU"VE DONE IS WORSE" Talk of "Greasy" and "Scum" of the earth.
The time for Weiner to step down is now. This woman is probably one of several that had dealings with him. The sad thing is what he has done to his wife because of this mess. It doesn't matter that he didn't have sex with these women…it's still a form of adultery, and much more sinister. She can never trust him again, especially with all of the information that's coming out. That's the story here, not that Rep. Weiner is a reprehensible character. He has destroyed his marriage, and betrayed his wife. There is nothing lower than that.
Rick–don't even know you–but I like you already. I'm another redneck t-bgr that served my country in the Army and want to pass it on to our kids and grandkids like we had it handed to us–free of the pervert trash that the Democratic Party (and some Republicans) has become.
Sure to a sniveling sack-o-sh*t like OldManMeeks it is, never mind Weiner's amoral nature, that he wrecked is marriage, destroyed his privacy of his tweeters, lied to the press, lied to his staff, liked to the public, lied to his constituents, set himself up for blackmail, accused others of lying.
Yep like the voting public is just going to go OldManMeeks way? OldManMeeks: WHAT A FOOL!
So it was okay for Weiner to mislead, obfuscate and lie to the house leadership, his constituents, his wife and the press AND make FALSE FEDERAL CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS against innocent people under color of authority?
He has no more ability to faithfully truthfully or ethically fulfill the duties of his office.
The house leadership will give him two options; face an ethics trial and an expulsion vote or resign, he would be wise to resign and take his free retirement money while he still can.
One word:
Moron
Where were you when the MSM attacked Sarah Palin and her family? Or do you just know when to naturally poke your head out of your ass to defend a Progressive/socialist???
No. Both are dirty.
Did Weiner send sleazy messages to them too? OMG!!
Sounds like a pre-emptive strike on the part of Meagan, but, I'm not sure I believe she was as naive as she puts on in the above post.
Also, Meagan, if you want to be left in peace, then why are you going on ABC news tonight? Why did you give them pictures of yourself?
John..What a tool you are. I want peace so I put my personal sex texts on a website
Weiner sounds like a really lonely guy
I hope that he makes up with his wife
He is in my prayers and I wish him well
Ignorance is bliss isn't it you happy bastard…
Spitzer
Edwards
Clinton
Ted Kennedy
I mean you weren't going to leave THEM out were you.
"Be aware of internet perverts"???
Uh… If you've seen the pictures that Ms. Broussard sent to Weiner, I think you'll notice that it was a mutually back-and-forth relationship. See pics below:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1395011/2...
Doakes you sound like Dr. Phil.
I would really like to see once that someone on the Left look at who actually committed the "crime" rather than blame the "victim". You really have missed the point, haven't you?
The Congressman acted in a wholly inappropriate manner with these women, especially if he is married. It would be just plain stupid if he was single, but he is a married man, talking with and conversing with women in lewd and suggestive ways. This is the actions of a philanderer, not a Congressman.
"Attack her! Blame her! Make the story about her!"
This will be the Left's predictable tactic.
I noticed that it only took 5 minutes for my prediction to come true.
Pelosi is now calling for an ethics investigation!!
That's more newsworthy than anything else. A DEMOCRAT calling for another DEM to undergo an ethics investigation for sexual morality!
Somewhere, Bill Clinton is dusting off his Law license reinstatement application.
OldManStinks, did you get a check from Moron.org, Organizing for A-Holes, or Soros Matters for defending this pathetic pervert or do you just agree and approve of his behavior because you do it also?
Wait! Have I got this all wrong? Isn't weiner (no cap for the pervert), isn't he "smarter" than all of us "regular people?" After all, he's a liberal! And all the liberals think they're smarter than all of us CITIZENS. He's real smart–posting suggestive pictures of his manhood(?) all over the internet and not thinking any of this would come out? Yes–really, really smart.
Sorry, I'm not very impressed with your story or actions.
You could have ended any correspondence as soon as it became "weird".
If, as you say; "I just acted to protect myself and my family", you didn't have that in mind until the media was knocking at your door. And you showed no concern for his family.
Good for you for being magnanimous DT but I have to say that I myself do not feel sorry for him, he's an arrogant POS who looks down on we the people, if you've ever watched any interviews with this guy prior to all of this the guy never even heard of the word humble before.
The Republicans are stupid enough to resign. The Democrats don't see any reason why they should resign and don't cave that easily. Do you think men like Weiner, Edwards, Kennedy, Studds, Frank feel any shame for their shameful acts?
Ever heard of "coming clean"? Wash behind your ears, palski.
Good luck to you Meagan, and let this be a lesson to you and everyone. Social networking can't be trusted. You don't make friends online that you can't, don't, or won't meet in person, and sexual stuff online is not only depraved, but dangerous. I hope you get the peace you want, but I hope you've learned a lesson and I hope everyone that uses social networking or even dating sites learns this lesson too.
Here come the clintonistas. Pilot to bombardier, pilot to bombardier, operation Sluts and Nuts commencing.
And you type like a troll.
Did Weiner send crotch tweets to them too? Keep hearing about this.
You know, OldManMeeks, I've defecated stuff with more class than you. Here I was all ready to write a post saying the Left would likely roll out their traditional "attack the victim" strategy, but you actually beat me to it. Congrats.
So sick, so predictable, and so lame. By the way, you forgot to add that she was asking for it…
"I don't know why he opened up to me in certain ways,…….."
It's very simply Miss Broussard, you appear to be an attractive women, and Weiner's a pervert.
Weiner, …….is………..a……………pervert.
Meagan, thank you for telling your story. You obviously liked the guy. Why is between you, him and God. I can see how you were concerned that your e-mails and photos would come out if there was an investigation. I can also understand how you wanted a chance to tell your side of the story.
Your comments have drawn the wrath of the left and the right. Hold your head high, do not look to either side and get on with your life.
Good luck with your future. Hopefully your family and neighbors will respect your privacy and simply get you put this behind you. And yes, thank you for your service in the Army.
Why does every dissenting opinion on here become about left/right?? I am not on the left. My stance on this whole thing has been about privacy/personal issues and how they are not any of our business.
I feel that Meagan is probably a media-hungry opportunist like the women in the Jesse James and Tiger Woods cases. I hope that I'm wrong and that she clings to her own privacy (as she claims), but so far it sure doesn't seem like it. Seems that she is parlaying this into some celebrity status.
Great liberal. She was the victim of an on-line stalker and you attack her. So much for your caring for the weaker members of society. You commies are all the same….vermin to be stepped on and crushed.
If the man works out his own arrogance and pride, he, like everyone can be redeemed. Somehow, it may be harder for him than others, it would seem. Everyone deserves a second chance, if they are contrite. This man, I just don't see that happening.
This is her 15 seconds of fame… probably more attention than she'll get for the rest of her life.
Anthony Weiner, I am disappointed. Who the hell do you think you are, Rudy Giuliani/Bob Packwood/Newt Gingrich/Vito Fossella/Mark Foley/David Vitter/Larry Craig/Mark Sanford/Dan Burton/Helen Chenoweth/John Ensign/Henry Hyde/James West/Don Sherwood/Arnold Schwarzenegger???
So people here are telling poor little GI Meagan to watch out for people you meet on the internet, because they may not have your best interests in heart. Who is GI Meagan to them? SOMEONE THAT THEY HAVE LITERALLY JUST MET ON THE INTERNET.
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone!" God bless you.
And you are a piece of filth.
"I just hope to be left in peace."
-Meagan
I think that ship has sailed, Meagan. Besides I ain't buyin it. You want fame and money. Let's be honest.
Agreed that he acted inappropriate in regards to his wife/marriage, but why is that any of our business? That's my stance. As long as he did nothing illegal, I see no reason how it effects his status as a congressman. Oh, and by the way, I don't like Weiner's politics, but I don't like seeing people's personal lives used against them.
If I like a politician and what they do in office, I could care less what they do on their own time.
OMG!! do ya think? get back to us carlee.
The problem with your assertion is that it IS our business. We pay his salary. He is an employee of the American people, and most pointedly, his district. If he is engaging in activity that is unfitting of his position, then he should be thrown out of his office.
Just another floozy playing dumb to get instant fame. She should have not sent a married man a suggestive message in the first place or continued flirting if she's so small town innocent.
So what's your story then? Are you the arbiter of good sense and fair play on internet? Who bestowed you with this title and occupation?
it will go nowhere,this guy Weiner has shown a lack of judgement in which he thinks by simply apologizing everything will be fine,has the office of congress fallen this low? and Pelosi wonders why citizens are fed up with DC and are ready to take back our country,Charlie Rangel should be in prison along with Frank and Dodd,yet these people get elected over and over,I'm starting to think these people get reelected through ballot fraud,people can't be this stupid to keep voting these people back in,could they?
How is sending naked pictures unfitting of his position? By law or by your moral standards? Because the latter doesn't apply.
So, you don't think using the influence as a sitting congressman to intentionally smear Breitbart for TELLING THE TRUTH is an abuse of the office?
If you did nothing wrong why are you so worried Meagan? I bet if all the postings were released we would see a different Meagan? Shows us how upstanding you are. I bet you were shocked you were talking to him. Why else ask for a picture or verify his phone number. You big groupy.
Yet here you are to attack her.
EVERY Congressman is beholden to ethics. He lied to the American people about what he was doing. This is the same issue we had with the Clinton/Lewinsky case. If it applied then, it does apply now.
He is our employee. It is our business.
He is acting in a manner that is not fitting of a Congressman. He should be removed from his office.
Do you remember Congressman Lee? He resigned because of a similar photo that he sent to another woman. Weiner has done the same thing to many other women, and even more disgusting examples as such.

What a transparent second-rate pick-up artist. He was dangling his dingle for a woman who really wasn't into his drivel.

For all of those comparing sex scandals on the Left and Right I am starting to glean a difference. On the Left we think that both parties in a consensual relationship are equally responsible for what goes on. Over here it seems as if the man is the only one responsible. Is that because for most of you sex is between a man and himself?
Tim, Tim , tim – when a congressman sends nude pictures to complete strangers
he sets him self up to be black mailed for money and political purposes….
Wasn't it Larry Flint who said he would pay a million dollars for dirt on politicians? Larry should be happy to pay up now, or was he just talking about dirt on republicans.

You went wrong by chatting online with a married man to begin with.
