HUMA’S WEINS & LOSSES
Abedin memoir
Huma Abedin plans to release a memoir that details the “great pride and overwhelming shame” of her relationships with Anthony Weiner and Hillary Clinton.
Abedin’s “Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds” is set for release on Nov. 2 at a list price of $30, according to Simon & Schuster.
The Thursday announcement came just days after Weiner, the disgraced former congressman and convicted sex offender, said he may sell a non-fungible token of the infamous crotch shot that sparked the first of his multiple sexting scandals.
Page Six also exclusively revealed this week Weiner was again using the encrypted message app Confide, which he used in 2016 to illegally send obscene material to a 15-year-old girl, resulting in a 21-month federal prison sentence.
Simon & Schuster says Abedin’s 480-page book will detail her failed marriage to Weiner including “what drew her to him, how much she wanted to believe in him, the devastation wrought by his betrayals — and their shared love for their son.”
It also claims Abedin will offer a “deeply personal account” of being Clinton’s closest aide as both women experienced “extraordinary personal and professional highs, as well as unimaginable lows.”
“This journey has led me through exhilarating milestones and devastating setbacks,” Abedin says in a press release. “I have walked both with great pride and in overwhelming shame. It is a life I am — more than anything — enormously grateful for and a story I look forward to sharing.”
As Weiner’s long-suffering wife, Abedin stood by him when he was forced to resign from Congress and later mounted an improbable political comeback with a 2013 mayoral campaign that saw him surge in the polls before he was revealed to have resumed sexting under the name “Carlos Danger.”
That stunning, second downfall was chronicled in cringey detail in the 2016 flyon-the-wall documentary “Weiner.”
Abedin finally dumped Weiner after The Post exclusively revealed in 2016 he’d sent another woman a lewd picture of himself as their apparently sleeping son lay next to him in bed, and she filed for divorce the following year after he pleaded guilty to sexting with the underage girl.
The FBI’s investigation of Weiner led to the seizure of a laptop computer that Abedin shared with him, a development that rocked Clinton’s campaign for president weeks before she was defeated by Donald Trump.
