On her Twitter page, Mason describes herself as a senior advisor to Bentley. She adds “Wife, Mom of 3. Fan of Football. Business Owner. Senior Advisor for a great Gov. Love Family, Jesus and Reese’s Cups. Not necessarily in that order.”


I wonder what order?

Praise the lord; roll tide

I'm having difficulty believing the "affair" rumor. It was "reported" by Legal Schnauzer. Just google that website and you'll see why I have trouble believing it to be true.

It's in Watkins page, couldn't link, but accessable through the gawker article.

Basically, involved Alice Ann Byrne who was legal counsel for Personnel and now assistant director, and her husband David who is Bentley's chief legal advisor, and getting all the players involved high paying state jobs.

Been all over the state for years man.

No reply from Governor Burns or his alleged paramour, everyone lawyering up, political opponents wanting travel records etc.

I really don't want to see actual pictures, I just had eye surgery and my new mechanical eyes may not be able to take it. plus I haven't eaten yet.

and why else would a first lady and wife of 50 years divorce him, and it be sealed.

Shuler is not the source of this report. He is reporting it but it is not like he is the only source.

2014 Story on Bentley's body guard


Quote from Reddit post explaining-

quote:

No, Donald Watkins was the first to cover this. It's true all right. Watkins was trying to track down why, per public records, Bentley had given a bunch of overtime to a mid-20s black state trooper totalling over a million bucks in a few years. Most likely answer is that the trooper (his personal bodyguard) helped cover up the affair. Some were thinking the trooper WAS the affair but this seems highly unlikely now that we know who the mistress is (former communications staff). It appears that the state money spent on the cover-up is more likely to get Bentley in trouble than the affair and divorce filing by Bentley's wife of 50+ years.

I'm really going to have to check out that website more often without always getting linked there.

He originated the story.

Alabama Governor Robert Bentley engaged in an extramarital affair with his former communications director, leading First Lady Dianne Bentley to file for divorce last Friday after 50 years of marriage, sources tell Legal Schnauzer.


Every other "report" that discusses the rumor of the governor's divorce is doing so in the opinion section because they can't verify anything Shuler is reporting. The guy is a fraud and shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

Governor Bentley very well may have been involved in an affair, but I'm going to need more than Legal Schnauzer before I believe it.

I don't even like the guy ever since he started trying to raise taxes, but that still isn't reason to take the word of a known liar as truth.

He is a handsome devil. I can see why that young hottie would risk humiliating her three kids and disappointing the hell out of her beloved Jesus to get some of that old dick.

I personally first heard the rumor in late January. I got a phone call from a person who would not identify herself. Her phone number was blocked also. Then another call some days later came in claiming the same thing. I also found out that other reporters and media people were getting calls apparently all from unnamed people.

My gut told me the rumor was untrue, as are most such rumors I've heard in over 35 years of reporting. But, the rumor was persistent and so sudden and was coming to so many in an effort to push it I began to wonder two things: could it be true and if not, why was somebody trying to damage Bentley or Mason?

Those two questions started me on a journey where I asked many people many questions, turned over many rocks and met sources in many bars.

Months later I still can't say with proof why that rumor began, who is behind it or for what purpose.

I have watched. I have listened. I have asked questions. I've heard many things. None of them convince me that this rumor is true. And many of them convince me it is not true.


I dislike al.com, but at least they somewhat resemble what passes for journalism in this state. If they aren't willing to run with something as juicy as our governor having an affair then you shouldn't believe it.

Dr.Robert Bentley and his advisor/side piece that was paid $426,000.00 in 2014.

I guess power is a turn on,because he's one ugly fricker.

I expected her to be slightly hotter, but in your 70's, I guess this is a grand slam.
