The chief of staff to Ohio GOP Rep. Steve Stivers has resigned after a former porn actress posted an explicit photo of the aide online.
Adam Kuhn, a longtime Stivers aide, resigned on Tuesday. Kuhn is single, while the actress is married.
Congressman Stivers accepted Adam Kuhns resignation today, said Courtney Whetstone, a Stivers spokeswoman. The office is not commenting on his personal life.
In his own statement to POLITICO on Tuesday, Kuhn offered an apology for his actions.
Over the weekend, I was the victim of an attack on Twitter from a woman I had a relationship with in my personal life, Kuhn said. I realize and apologize I had used poor judgement in my personal life regarding this relationship. The woman who posted this has reached out to me to apologize.

The article said it was his penis...not his penis and smiling face!
According to Allbaugh, she was upset Kuhn had ended the relationship. It is unclear when that occurred or when the photos of Kuhn were taken, although Allbaugh blamed Kuhn for their breakup.
Allbaugh later deleted the photo after Kuhn obtained a cease-and-desist order against her, Allbaugh said. Allbaugh was upset with Kuhn and was, in her own words, out for revenge.

(14,733 posts)he had been dating a married woman? Not really seeing anything else that screams 'resignation necessary'.
Heck, he's not even the candidate. Did he think staying on in the job would make Stivers vulnerable to a tea party challenger?

(11,441 posts)What about the husband? Perhaps he blessed her getting a little sumthin' sumthin' on the side.
She sought revenge by sharing a private photo, which is pretty f-ed up.
Not seeing 'resignation necessary' either.

(56,177 posts)But I love how he plays the victim...he was "attacked" I assume the good congressman realizes that consenual sex is a no-no and so Adam had to go.

But a revenge tweet like that is pretty fucked up.

(11,441 posts)But I think polyandry is something most Ohioans wouldn't be able to wrap their brains around, hence the resignation.
