April 08, 2014, 12:54 pm Husband of woman McAllister kissed: 'He has wrecked my life'
By Rebecca Shabad
The husband of the woman who was caught kissing Rep. Vance McAllister (R-La.) in a video that surfaced Monday says the congressman has destroyed his life and marriage.
“I’m just freaking devastated by the whole deal, man. I loved my wife so much. I cannot believe this. I cannot freaking believe it. I feel like I’m going to wake up here in a minute, and this is all going to be a bad nightmare,” Heath Peacock told CNN on Tuesday.
Peacock told CNN he wasn’t aware of what happened until his wife, Melissa Peacock, 33, called him a few hours before the news broke.
“He has wrecked my life,” Peacock said of McAllister on CNN. “We’re headed for divorce.”
The couple has been married for six years, and they have a 6-year-old son.
“It was just a kiss; that was all it was, but it embarrassed me and my family,” Peacock said. “This guy has turned my life upside down.”
His wife was seen kissing McAllister in surveillance footage that went viral on Monday. The Ouachita Citizen said it obtained the video clip from an anonymous source. It was recorded on Dec. 23, a month after McAllister was sworn into office.
Melissa Peacock was the congressman’s district scheduler, and was taken off payroll as of Monday night.
McAllister, meanwhile, says he doesn’t plan to resign and has asked God, his family and his constituents for forgiveness.
The congressman said he told his wife of 16 years about the encounter earlier this year, and they are working through it.
McAllister was elected to replace Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-La.) in a special election last fall. He ran ads touting his Christian faith, but Peacock told CNN he believed that was just a ploy for votes.
"I know his beliefs. When he ran one of his commercials, he said ‘I need your prayers,’ and I asked, ‘When did you get religious?’ He said, ‘When I needed votes,’ ” Peacock said. “He broke out the religious card, and he’s about the most nonreligious person I know.”
Translation: I’m lawyer shopping.
SHopping? He chumming!...........................
“It was just a kiss; that was all it was,
And the person that released this is beyond sleazy. Not that I even know who these people are, but it’s sleazy to do such a thing.
How did they get the video?
That they would kiss like that in front of a crowd of people means they didn’t care who saw them.
Until it hit the votes. freakin hypocrits
His wife is the slut.
It was from a facility security camera.
Could time to catch up on all the news in the national media concerning the democrats indicted last week for corruption.
Looked more like Olympic tongue-swallowing to me.
Two comments:
1. I’d be very interested in finding out how the media go ahold of surveillance video.
2. If I were the congressman, I would declare myself a Democrat and sit back and watch the scandal disappear.
What a bunch of “freaking” losers.
“He has wrecked my life”
I’d say his wife also wrecked his life.
And the Congressman isn't? It takes two to tango.
” It was recorded on Dec. 23”
Prolly an office Christmas party. I’ve seen worse at office Christmas parties. A LOT worse.
That said - sucks to be them.
He’s just a gigolo and everywhere he goes...
This man’s wife was 50% of the people that wrecked his life. He needs to look no further than his once happy home for the culprit.
“Forget it, Jake, it’s Louisiana.”
‘It was only a BJ’: RATS have no problem vocalizing that.
He needs to resign. He took the Lord’s name in vain.
