On the day Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, announced she was leaving him amid a revival of his sexting scandal, Showtime said it will debut the documentary “Weiner”, a painful, unrestricted look at their lives.

Abedin’s and Weiner’s relationship has been strained since his second round of publicly revealed sexting sunk his mayoral bid in 2013.
In June 2011, Weiner resigned from Congress a month after the release of an explicit photo of him that he had inadvertently posted on his Twitter account. She was her intern in the 1990s during the presidency of Bill Clinton and became a top aide while Hillary Clinton served as a senator from NY.
The Post story said Weiner had sent lewd photos of himself to another woman while his wife was campaigning with Clinton.
Abedin was “furious and sickened” by the picture of Weiner and their 4-year-old son, Jordan, according to two people close to the family. “During this hard time, I ask for respect for our privacy”.
And Weiner seemed to be on the road to rehabbing his image while staying at home with the couple’s son while Abedin was on the trail with Clinton. Trump said who knows what Weiner learned and who he told.
He originally denied the crotch shot was his but after more photos emerged Weiner called a press conference and admitted he had exchanged messages and photos with six women over a three-year period.
Abedin remains in Long Island as part of a Clinton fundraising trip to the Hamptons.
Even Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, noted Abedin was “making a wise decision” to leave Weiner behind.
Trump immediately seized on the aide’s marital split to accuse Clinton of “bad judgment”.
Last month, Trump referred to Weiner to argue that Clinton is a security risk, labeling Weiner “a sleazeball and pervert”. “I’ve never seen a staffer targeted like that”, he said.
Leathers also commented on Weiner’s mental health.
But that close proximity to Clinton – paired with Abedin’s upbringing in Saudi Arabia – has fueled the many conspiracy theories.
He recently refused to answer when asked whether he was still sexting, telling The New York Times Magazine in an interview published August 16: “I’m not going to go down the path of talking about any of that”.
Congressional Republicans have raised questions about whether Abedin skirted ethics guidelines during her 2012 work as an adviser to Clinton while she also worked for Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm co-founded by Doug Band, a former aide to former President Bill Clinton.
The Post reported that Weiner has been caught in yet another sexting scandal, his third such embarrassing episode within the last five years. Two of these allies said they were told that some kind of statement would be coming and that they were urged to respect Ms Abedin’s privacy.
The announcement of the separation came after the Post showed that Weiner had exchanged photos with the woman.
