The Chron’s Interview w/ Gavin Newsom’s Girlfriend, Jennifer Siebel
Sunday’s Chronicle featured an interview with Gavin Newsom’s girlfriend, Jennifer Siebel, which I can only assume that the mayor knew nothing about, because in it, she talks openly about Newsom’s affair with his good friend’s wife, Ruby Rippey-Tourk, who Siebel blames for the affair, “I shouldn’t say this, but there are two sides to every story,'’ she said in an exhausted tone. “If people did research into the scandal … the woman is the culprit. Alex Tourk is a nice man and it saddens me that his wife did that to him.” Yeah, you probably shouldn’t have said that. Extra bonus points to the Chron for including the above picture of Siebel in a bra.
In the interview, she also compares herself to Naomi Watts, talks about how Newsom told her that he never dated Brittanie Mountz (uh-huh), says that Newsom is one of the best mayors in the world and implies that Matt Gonzalez shouldn’t run because he’s “Another young bachelor type that women love.”
Not suprisingly, some people are attacking her smarts, including Steve Jones of the Guardian, who has an excellent write-up here.
