A Democrat candidate who ran for state office in Virginia and lost after videos of her emerged online performing graphic sex acts says that she was the victim of the entire ordeal.
Susanna Gibson was, as recently as last year, posting as “HotWifeExperience” on the website Chaturbate, where men could pay tokens to get her to perform specific sex acts.
“My entire life was rocked on Sept. 11, when the article ran,” Gibson told POLITICO in a softball interview. “It ran, implying that I performed sex acts online with my husband for money.”
In one video recorded shortly after she launched her campaign last year, she told her husband, “I’ll let you f*** me in the a** d****-style in a private room if someone wants to pay. That’s the deal.” In another video, she appears to say that for the right price, viewers could watch her urinate. “Y’all can watch me pee if you tip me and some tokens,” she said. “Again, I’m raising money for a good cause.”
She said for 500 tokens, she would order room service in a hotel and cause the delivery person to see her naked, saying: “I’m definitely a slut… In order to leave the door cracked I need 500 tokens.”
She claimed that the videos were found on “the dark web” and that she had no “idea that there were ever videos of me that had been made and uploaded to multiple sites.”
She claims that the stories in the media about the sexual acts she performed on the webcam website were “an invasion of my privacy and potentially a crime.”
“Content that is initially made in a consensual context, which is then distributed in a non-consensual context digitally, is a crime,” she claimed. “Just because someone consented to share something in one particular context doesn’t mean that it is or should be fair game for the whole world to see.”

Recounting how she views her scandal unfolding publicly in the media, Gibson said: “A political operative found sexually explicit videos of a young woman running for office that she never knew existed — and we made that pretty clear in our statement — and shopped them around to various news outlets, trying to get them published to humiliate, intimidate, coerce, harass this woman, and with the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election that very well could have been the majority maker or breaker for the House.”
“There are legal experts who argue that this is a violation of federal and state laws: possession of illegal pornography, dissemination of illegal pornography across state lines, violating revenge porn laws,” she claimed. “But the way our nation more ultimately interprets that and reads that story, it’s the young woman that’s nationally blamed, shamed, harassed, bullied, threatened, all of the above. There’s very little discussion — I saw no discussion in this in particular — of blaming and shaming the political operative.”
In the videos, she appears to be filmed with her husband, lawyer John David Gibson, who ensured that the raunchiest acts were reserved for the biggest spendings, saying “no a*** outside of private.”
She can be heard in the videos saying “he doesn’t like sharing” her with other men, with Gibson saying, “Sometimes I have to though. She makes me.”
Gibson said in one of her videos that she has had sex with three men in one day, and “don’t tell my husband he was the third. I would say ethically nonmonogamous but I guess that three in one day was not.”
“I’m raising money for a really good cause and it’s my birthday so give me more please because it’s my birthday night and yeah so then I f***ed him in his house for the first time and then later that night I f***ed my husband,” she said.
