The rumor claimed that the Mayor had an active affair with a member of his staff who dealt with the press. It spread by whisper in the summer of 2011. Reporters throughout the city all heard. As the rumors spread, the situation became complicated. As a press flack for her lover and boss, she had to face reporters. Or not. She hid. The rumors flamed on. One story got around that Mitch went on a date at a restaurant with his concubine, when his wife walked in. Oops. The affair story popped up here and there, then it seemed to be hushed. Mitch is a master manipulator and bullies the press. But it resurfaced with claims that Mitch Landrieu had an illegitimate child with his girlfriend. Similarly to allegations against David Vitter, the bastard was put up for adoption. When the First Lady heard, she dropped the ultimatum: the girlfriend must go. The Mayor did not ship his PR girl far, she landed at another job in 2013 that conveniently seems like political placement. The rumors also went that the Mayor was kicked out of his own house. But don’t cry over the torn-apart-lovers, Mitch and his girlfriend can still interact regularly and below the radar as she is on the Tricentennial Committee.
