Huma Told Weiner To Pack It In, Couple Finally Seen Together In Supermarket [View All]

Noticeably absent from the Anthony Weiner resignation press conference/circus yesterday was his pregnant wife Huma Abedin, who is reportedly "beyond numb - frozen and angry," a source tells the Daily News. As Weiner was heckled by Howard Stern's sidekick Benjy ("Goodbye, perv!" and "Are you seven inches?" were among his taunts before he was escorted out), the disgraced politician stood alone onstage. As the Post's Andrea Peyser notes, "There were no porn stars, strippers, or high-school-age groupies on hand to cushion his fall. His parents were no-shows, as was his brother. Mentor Chuck Schumer was too busy." And his wife remains out of the public eye, though sources say she told her husband to quit.

"What broke him is Huma," a source tells the Daily News. "She said she can't see him continuing." Abedin stayed at the couple's apartment in Forest Hills as Weiner resigned in the Brooklyn Senior Center. Another source tells the News, "I wouldn't read anything into her not being there. She does not like the spotlight under happy circumstances. She's an intensely private person and this is something that is shocking."

After the press conference, Weiner returned home briefly, then left with Abedin carrying overnight bags. It's believed they were headed to the Hamptons, as the two were later spotted at the King Kullen supermarket in Manorville, LI, on one of the main roads to the Hamptons. One supermarket witness tells the Post Weiner was seen with the brim of his baseball cap low over his head, singing along to a '50s doo-wop song on the radio. Abedin was reportedly "all smiles. She didn't look upset or anything." But when Weiner realized he was recognized, the witness says he "stopped his warbling" and "gave me a look as if to say, 'What do you want from me?' " Naturally, the Post has creepy video of the couple shopping.
