Ruby Rippey, an ex-lover of Gavin Newson and at one time his close aide, admitted to a humiliating mistake she made during her first night in bed with him.<\/p>\n

Rippey, who was married to Newsom\u2019s close friend and top aide at the time Alex Tourk, said she ended up with the then-mayor of San Francisco following a fellow aide\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

The following morning, she woke up with her dress soaked. She had wet the bed following the drunken night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wake the next morning beside him, still dressed. I am cold, almost shivering, and my dress\u2014the one my mother warned me not to wear\u2014is soaked from the waist down. I had passed out. I had also wet the bed,\u201d she wrote in a Vanity Fair essay.<\/p>\n

She then quickly left to return to her husband Tourk. \u201cHe is still asleep. I find my clutch, gather my heels, and leave quickly, wanting to get back to Alex,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Newsom later acknowledged the night, she wrote, by slipping a gold bracelet she had left in the hotel room onto her desk.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days later, back at work, my boss slips my gold bracelet onto my desk as he passes. A gift from my grandmother, left behind in the Napa hotel room. He keeps walking. We pretend nothing has changed,\u201d she writes. \u201cBut\u00a0everything has.\u201d <\/p>\n

Their affair would go on until May 2006, when she checked herself into rehab. Rippey confessed to her husband in January of 2007, and Tourk confronted Newsom later that month.<\/p>\n

The then-San Francisco mayor, dating Jennifer Siebel Newsom at the time, called a bombshell press conference that same year, where he revealed details about the affair.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything you\u2019ve heard and read is true,\u201d he admitted. Despite the revealing update, Newsom declined to share any additional details about the affair.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor acknowledged his role and publicly apologized for his conduct nearly two decades ago when he was still mayor,\u201d his office stated, adding, \u201cIn the time since, he met his wife, started a family and has focused on serving Californians.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe addressed this chapter of his life, including in his memoir, and out of respect for everyone involved, does not have anything further to add.\u201d<\/p>\n
