One of the women who traded steamy photos and texts with disgraced Rep. Anthony Weiner said she thought he was “kind of out there,” a “daredevil” and someone with “issues” for sending those sort of lurid exchanges.
“I just thought, OK, that’s weird. I don’t know,” Meagan Broussard said in an interview slated to air tonight with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity. “I mean, I was just kind of like, ‘Wow, this is all a little bit overwhelming.’ But at the time, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s kind of out there, daredevil.’”
Broussard said the married Weiner “obviously has some issues with impulse control.”

“This obviously fulfills him,” she added during the interview. “I don’t know, maybe he’s searching for something.”
The interview comes a day after a sniffling and “deeply ashamed” Weiner ‘fessed up Monday to spending the past three years exchanging steamy online messages and sex-fueled phone chats with six women — sending some of his most tawdry sexts after marrying his high-powered wife last year.
Weiner acknowledged that he had engaged in inappropriate contact with six women over the course of three years through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook and occasionally over the phone. He said he had never met or had a physical relationship with any of the women and was not even sure of their ages. He also said he had never had sex outside of his marriage.
Weiner said over and over during a news conference that he had made “terrible mistakes” and done “a very dumb thing” for which he alone bore responsibility.
Broussard did say she had no intention of meeting the 46-year-old Democrat.
“I was just talking to him,” she said.
The kinky New York congressman refused to resign his post, even as he admitted to lying to both the public and his wife, Huma Abedin, for more than week over one disgusting crotch shot that he’d sent to a pretty college co-ed.
Broussard, a 26-year-old single mom and Army veteran, said she clicked on Weiner’s Facebook page on April 20 and wrote that she liked a video of him at a gathering of construction workers.
“I just thought at the time, there’s got to be something. There’s way more girls out there,” she said of the lurid exchanges. “This is not just me. There’s nothing like, ‘Oh, this is so special about me that, you know, there’s just a lot more girls.’ That’s what I thought at the time, like this is something that’s regular, he’s done all the time. He’s comfortable.”
She did add that she sent him sexy pics as well.
“[Weiner] did have photos of me, not risqué photos, nothing, you know, rated R, but still, anybody can get those photos, leak them and that’s my life and my personal life,” she said. “So I’m going to go ahead and take charge of that.
“There’s PG-13 ones, but nothing that I would ever be embarrassed about. But do I want it splashed all over? No. But it probably will.
“I came forward because I was approached. And, you know, I’m telling — you know, nobody is going to pull the rug under me.”
Broussard was also curious about the amount of time Weiner spent on the computer, saying, “I would say if you’re elected to Congress– what are you doing all day long sitting there?”
She would not say whether Weiner should resign.
“I’m not going to go into all that,” she said. “That’s up to him and whoever elected him, how they feel about that.”
