Famous gay journalist, Glenn Greenwald blames ‘political enemies’ as his s£x tapes are released online

Pulitzer-winning journalist, Glenn Greenwald has hit out at his ‘political enemies’ after sx tapes involving him were circulated on social media. In a post to X on Friday morning, Greenwald said the clips were published without his ‘knowledge or consent’ on Thursday evening.  The 58-year-old, who is also a lawyer, added that the leaking of the videos was done so by ‘political enemies’ to ‘advance a political agenda’. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist said: ‘Last night’s videos were released online depicting behavior in my private life. Some were distorted and others were not.  ‘They were published without my knowledge or consent and its publication was therefore criminal.  ‘Though we do not yet know exactly who is responsible, we are close to knowing, and the motive was a maliciously political one. ‘As for the content of the videos: I have no embarrassment or regret about them. The videos depict consenting adults engaged in intimate actions in their private lives. They all display fully consensual behavior, harming nobody.  ‘Obviously, it can be uncomfortable and unpleasant when your private behavior is made public against your will thats why the behavior is private in the first place but the only wrongdoing here is the criminal and malicious publication of the videos in an attempt to malign perceived political enemies and advance a political agenda. ‘Others are, of course, free to form their own judgments, as some are prone to do about others private lives.  ‘It wont change my work. I will continue to call out the many prongs of my journalism, and pursue the causes important to me, exactly as before.’Greenwald, an openly gay man, gained recognition for his work with The Guradian before he co-founded The Intercept. He contributed to the site until his resignation in 2020.  He was married to Brazilian politician David Miranda who died in 2023. The couple have two sons. The post Famous gay journalist, Glenn Greenwald blames ‘political enemies’ as his sx tapes are released online appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
