Shocking Revelations: Graham Platner’s Wife Speaks Out on Explosive Sexting Scandal

The spouse of a Maine Democratic Senate hopeful has spoken out following revelations that her husband engaged in sending sexually explicit messages to various women.

On Saturday, it came to light that Graham Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, discovered her husband had sent inappropriate messages to at least a dozen women during a time when the couple was attempting to conceive a child through IVF.

However, Gertner, who has been married to Platner since 2023, labeled these reports as ‘really shameful’ later that evening. This reaction came despite her own disclosure of the information to Genevieve McDonald, who served as Platner’s political director until October, according to a report by The New York Times.

In a video shared on Platner’s campaign page on X, the 41-year-old expressed her desire to address the news articles concerning her marriage to Graham.

“It makes me incredibly angry and disappointed,” Gertner stated, “and I find it really shameful that some media outlets and people choose to spread gossip instead of discussing the real issues Graham is campaigning for, such as healthcare, education, and childcare.”

She went on to insist that she and her husband have a ‘great marriage’ and that they have been struggling with infertility. 

‘Graham and I have a great marriage. Being married is hard. Being newly married is hard. Being newly married and going through infertility is hard. 

‘Being newly married, going through infertility, and a Senate campaign is hard. I don’t even know if I have the right words to describe what we’ve been going through,’ she added. 

Amy Gertner, the wife of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, hit out at media outlets who reported that her husband sent sexually explicit messages to other women

On Saturday it was revealed that Gertner found out that her husband had sent the inappropriate messages to at least a dozen women while she and him were trying to conceive a child through In vitro fertilization (IVF)

Gertner further revealed that the couple has been getting help from a marriage counselor and each of their personal therapists. 

‘And we work on our mental health every day. No marriage is perfect and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage, and I want to be married to Graham,’ she added. 

Gertner continued: ‘I admire the f*** out of him. So when there are news article about our marriage, it’s just extra sh****. Can I say that online? I hope I can. 

‘So I think I’m feeling angry today and I don’t normally make public statements, but it’s really important for me to tell all of your out there, especially people who are voting in Maine, that I think it’s shameful behavior to spend time, and energy and resources on negative ads and negative stories on Graham when all he’s trying to do is improve the lives of people who work for a living.’ 

Her comments come after news broke that Gertner told his McDonald about the scandal last year. 

Gertner considered McDonald a friend and told her the information right before Platner was supposed to join a rally with Sanders over Labor Day weekend as she feared it might become a liability, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

In the profile picture from Platner’s Kik account viewed by the Daily Mail, he was wearing only a towel while taking a bare chested photo in the bathroom. 

Platner’s face was not featured in the image, but his tattoos were visible and the Democratic candidate’s public profile featured his full name.

However, Platner’s Totenkopf ink, which is widely recognized as a Nazi symbol, was obscured by his hand. He has since covered up the tattoo.
