Amy Gertner, the wife of Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine, has stated that her husband exchanged sexually explicit texts with multiple women during their marriage, according to reports.
Gertner confirmed that Platner sent explicit text messages to several women after they were married. She said she was "hurt" that the texts were exposed, according to The Guardian. An ex-political director was identified as the individual who exposed the messages.
According to The Independent, Gertner informed her husband's Senate campaign about the sexually explicit texts he had sent to several women. She reportedly addressed the matter directly with the campaign.
Gertner provided additional context about the situation, stating that she and her husband had worked through the issue. She said they had overcome the hurdle and that their marriage was "stronger than ever before," according to The Independent.
Platner is a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine. The reports of the explicit text messages emerged during his campaign for the Senate seat.
Multiple outlets reported on Gertner's statements regarding her husband's communications with other women. Fox News reported that Platner exchanged sexual texts with several women after marrying his wife, citing Gertner's account.
The explicit text messages were sent to multiple women, according to Gertner's statements as reported across the sources. The communications occurred during the Platner-Gertner marriage.
Gertner's confirmation of the explicit texts and her characterization of the impact on their marriage represents the first public acknowledgment of the messages from his wife. Her statement that the couple has addressed the issue and strengthened their marriage provides context for how they have responded to the situation.
The reports do not indicate whether the explicit text messages will affect Platner's Senate campaign or whether additional details will be disclosed. The campaign has not issued a separate statement beyond Gertner's reported comments.
