Gavin Newsom’s Former Mistress Reveals She Wet the Bed During Their First Night Together

She urinated all over California’s governor during their initial drunken hookup—and that humiliating detail is just the beginning of a sordid tale that exposes the real character of a man who lectures Americans about morality and leadership.

Ruby Rippey has broken her silence with devastating specificity about her affair with Gavin Newsom, and the details paint a portrait of moral bankruptcy that should concern every voter watching the governor’s national ambitions.

The betrayal began at a wedding in 2005. Rippey was married to Alex Tourk, one of Newsom’s closest friends and top aides. That didn’t stop the then-mayor of San Francisco from bedding his employee and confidant’s wife.

A Night of Shame

The morning after their first encounter revealed the depths of the debacle. Rippey woke up cold, still dressed, lying next to her boss—soaked from the waist down in her own urine.

“I had passed out. I had also wet the bed,” Rippey confessed in a tell-all essay.

Her mother had warned her not to wear that dress. Mothers know.

Rather than face the catastrophic mistake, Rippey fled back to her unsuspecting husband while he slept. The bracelet her grandmother gave her—a family heirloom—remained behind in the hotel room where she’d betrayed her marriage vows.

The Cover-Up Begins

Days later, Newsom wordlessly returned the gold bracelet to Rippey’s desk at work. No conversation. No acknowledgment. Just a silent understanding between two people who knew they’d crossed an unforgivable line.

“We pretend nothing has changed,” Rippey wrote. “But everything has.”

That’s the Newsom playbook in a nutshell: pretend, deflect, and keep the cameras rolling.

Months of Deception

The affair didn’t end with that disastrous first night. It continued for nearly a year, with Rippey and Newsom carrying on their betrayal under the nose of Alex Tourk—a man who considered Newsom not just his boss, but his friend.

The charade finally collapsed in January 2007 when Rippey, fresh out of rehab from May 2006, confessed to her husband. Tourk immediately confronted Newsom.

The governor had no choice but to come clean publicly.

The Staged Apology

At a hastily arranged press conference, Newsom delivered what passes for contrition among political elites: a vague admission followed by a stone wall.

“Everything you’ve heard and read is true,” he acknowledged. Then he promptly refused to provide any additional details about the affair that destroyed his aide’s marriage and shattered a friendship.

This is a man who was simultaneously dating Jennifer Siebel, his current wife. The timeline raises obvious questions about just how many women Newsom was juggling while serving as San Francisco’s mayor.

The Guilfoyle Factor

Lost in the recent revelations is this inconvenient fact: Newsom was still technically married to his first wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, when the affair began in 2005. They separated in 2006—right around the time the relationship with Rippey was continuing.

The governor’s romantic life during this period resembles a game of musical chairs, with multiple women cycling through while he maintained his public image as a progressive champion.

The Arrogance of Power

Nearly two decades later, Newsom’s office responded to Rippey’s essay with breathtaking condescension. His spokespersons noted he’d “addressed this chapter of his life, including in his memoir,” and claimed he has “nothing further to add” out of “respect for everyone involved.”

Respect? The man who slept with his best friend’s wife now lectures about respect?

This is the same governor who presides over California’s skyrocketing crime rates, collapsing infrastructure, and exodus of productive citizens. The same man who dined maskless at the French Laundry while demanding Californians stay home during COVID lockdowns.

A Pattern of Entitlement

The Rippey affair isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a window into Newsom’s character. It reveals a man who believes rules apply to everyone except him. A man who will betray those closest to him without hesitation. A man who operates with impunity because he knows the media will provide cover.

Rippey’s essay details Newsom’s comments about her pregnancy weight and other controlling behaviors. These aren’t the actions of someone who respects women—they’re the actions of someone who uses people and discards them when convenient.

The National Stage Beckons

And now this man wants to be president.

Democrats are already positioning Newsom as a potential candidate for higher office. They’re betting Americans will overlook his record in California and his personal history of betrayal.

The bed-wetting incident is humiliating for Rippey, certainly. But the real shame belongs to Newsom—a man who couldn’t keep his hands off his married employee, who betrayed his closest friend, and who now acts as though nearly two decades makes it all irrelevant.

Character Matters

Voters deserve leaders with integrity. They deserve officials who honor their commitments and treat people with dignity rather than as objects for their gratification.

Newsom’s relationship with Rippey wasn’t a youthful indiscretion—he was mayor of a major American city, a married man in his late thirties carrying on with a subordinate who was married to his friend.

That’s not a mistake. That’s a choice. A series of choices, made repeatedly over months.

The Bottom Line

Ruby Rippey’s confession about wetting the bed during her first night with Gavin Newsom is embarrassing. But the truly disgraceful part of this story isn’t the physical mishap—it’s the moral failure that surrounds it.

Americans should remember this episode as Newsom continues his political ascent. They should remember that when this man lectures about values and leadership, he does so having destroyed a marriage, betrayed a friendship, and demonstrated the kind of arrogance that defines California’s failed political class.

The governor can dismiss this as ancient history. He can claim he’s moved on and started a family.

But character doesn’t change. It reveals itself.

And Gavin Newsom’s character has been revealed—soaked through, impossible to hide, and absolutely disqualifying for higher office.
