As people search for someone to blame for the Los Angeles wildfires, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s character is being scrutinised – including decisions he previously made in his love life
California governor Gavin Newsom is no stranger to controversy.
The politician admitted that he never attended a formal rehabilitation programme for alcohol abuse after his affair with his best friend’s wife came out, despite publicly claiming that he would, per the Daily Mail. “There’s no rehab. I just stopped,” he told the Sacramento Bee in 2018. “There was no treatment, no nothing related to any of that stuff. I stopped because I thought it was a good thing to stop.”
“There is no 12-step [programme] here,” he added. “There are no issues with that. There never was. This was a need to reset.”
Talk of his affair from over a decade ago has resurfaced amid his response to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires as Governor of California.
