A pro-life Texas representative has admitted to having an affair with a stripper after she accused him of paying for abortions.
State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, 52, confessed to having an affair 'years ago' after a woman alleged he paid for 'meetups' and 'funded several abortions for his own personal gain,' reported The Texas Tribune.
The woman, named Alex Grace, came forward with the affair on Friday during an interview with the Current Revolt.
'I know that Giovannie Capriglione has been having affairs since 2005 because it's me. I'm her. I'm not proud of it, in fact I'm ashamed of it,' Grace said on TikTok after the interview came out.
'Hopefully, you can keep in mind that we all have a past and I wish I could say for him that that was the worst of it, but it's not.'
Capriglione dropped out of his reelection race just days before Grace's interview, but has denied paying for any abortions and said he will pursue 'legal remedies' over her claims.
'Years ago, I selfishly had an affair. I'm not proud of this. Thank God my wife and family forgave me, and we moved past it and have the strong marriage we do today,' he said in a statement.
'The rest is categorically false and easily disproven... I have never, nor would I ever, pay for an abortion.'

Do I believe it happened? Yes.
Happens more often than you think
Wow, has a lovely wife and cute daughters. He destroyed their family life.
May as well have been at a Coldplay concert
I’m not going to justify his actions, but his home life may not be as peachy as it looks from the outside. 20% of marriages are completely, or nearly so, sexless. The women will marry men for financial support but not be really attracted to them and, once a child is locked in and the child support would be guaranteed in the event of a divorce, the woman cuts off access to her husband.
I don’t believe the abortion claim.
I can see that he has a type, because the stripper resembles the wife.
“I’m not going to justify his actions, but his home life may not be as peachy as it looks from the outside. 20% of marriages are completely, or nearly so, sexless. The women will marry men for financial support but not be really attracted to them and, once a child is locked in and the child support would be guaranteed in the event of a divorce, the woman cuts off access to her husband.”
Or could it be the man is not sexually attracted to her after she becomes a mother? That happens a lot too. A lot of men start cheating on their wives while they are pregnant. Some women can’t have sex while pregnant some met aren’t attracted to that. Then after they give birth it’s like something changes and they no longer view their wives the same.
Yes. My understanding is that Elvis was like that with Priscilla.
I’m on tiktok to announce to the world I had an affair but no siree, I’m not proud.
Somebody is spending a few hours tonight knocking on his Wife’s locked bedroom door;
“Honey, let me explain. It’s not how it seems. I was helping a constituent to find employment for his ‘long lost niece’ from down under. One thing lead to another, and...Well, you wouldn’t believe all the lies she told me. Nobody wants to hear it, but I’m the actual Victim here!!.
Oh, and Sweetheart, it’s gettin’ kinda late here, like after 6pm. Had you set any Dinner Preparation Goals? Just asking”
Except when I was hiding the salami.
He deserves to be voted out in the primaries big time.
At all.
‘The rest is categorically false and easily disproven... I have never, nor would I ever, pay for an abortion.’
He is going to disprove a negative?
Can’t his term be ended before the primary? I mean he’s under suspicion if nothing else
I dont have a problem with abortion, if it is done prior to a heartbeat. Once the fetus has a heartbeat though, in my eyes its murder.
So it took this woman twenty years to be ashamed of the affair and be embarrassed? I admit to not reading very far, but was she just ashamed of the affair or of the abortion too? There is no excuse for what the husband and father did but people make mistakes, they always do, it’s what you do with your life afterwards. It also takes two to tango, granted this woman was eighteen at the time but also she was working as a stripper, how naive are we supposed to believe she was, choosing said profession?
When I got married, I promised my wife I would not cheat on her and I did not.
I also told her that I was not getting married to be celibate.
