A Democratic candidate running for a coveted seat in the Virginia House of Delegates has an interesting side gig: she has been posting explicit videos online with her spouse to earn extra cash.
Key Takeaway
Susana Gibson, a Democratic candidate running for the Virginia House of Delegates, has faced controversy after it was revealed that she had been posting explicit videos online on a platform called Chaturbate. Gibson has defended herself, calling the leak an invasion of her privacy.
The Controversy Surrounding Susana Gibson
Susana Gibson, a 40-year-old Democrat running to represent District 57 in Richmond, has been discovered to have posted several videos on a platform called Chaturbate. Chaturbate is a website where users can engage in online chat while engaging in sexual acts.
According to reports from The Washington Post and the New York Post, Gibson was quite active on Chaturbate last year, with at least a dozen live broadcasts. These archived videos depicted Gibson and her spouse engaging in sexual acts while being filmed.
Motivation Behind the Videos
Throughout her broadcasts, Gibson would frequently prompt viewers to donate to her account using digital tokens, which could be redeemed for money.
It appears that she garnered significant popularity before September 2022, with nearly 6,000 followers. However, since officially declaring her candidacy last year, her activity on Chaturbate seems to have dwindled.
It is worth noting that some of these videos appear to have been archived after she announced her campaign.
Reactions and Legal Concerns
The discovery of Gibson’s online activities has caused quite a stir, particularly among her Republican rivals. In response, Gibson has labeled the leak of her content as an illegal invasion of her privacy.
She asserts, “This will not intimidate or silence me. My political opponents and their Republican allies have shown that they are willing to stoop to sexual wrongdoing to attack me and my family because there is no line they won’t cross to silence women’s voices.”
Her lawyer also contends that this may violate state laws regarding revenge porn.
