A former driver and aide to former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey yesterday made the bombshell claim that Dina Matos McGreevey must have always known her husband was gay – because he was the other man in bed with them.
In an explosive interview with The Post, the McGreeveys’ self-professed man in the middle, Teddy Pedersen, gave explicit details of three-way sex romps that he claimed to have had with the now-divorcing duo, starting during their courtship and continuing into the marriage.
Pedersen – who said he had already spilled the beans on the ménage a trois arrangement under oath in a deposition for the couple’s divorce battle – hinted that he thinks his presence was required to get Jim’s motor running for Dina.
Matos McGreevey’s basic argument in her divorce war with the former gov is that he covered up his homosexuality and tricked her into a loveless marriage.
Pedersen – who is named in Matos McGreevey’s court papers – agreed to talk about the alleged unconventional relationship after Dina sounded off to the media last week about Eliot Spitzer’s sex scandal.
“It’s frustrating to hear her call Gov. Spitzer a hypocrite while she’s out there being as dishonest as anyone could be about her own life,” said Pedersen, 29.
“She’s framed herself as a victim – yet she was a willing participant. She had complete control over what happened in her relationship,” he said. “She was there, she knew what was happening, she made the moves. We all did. It’s disgusting to watch her play the victim card.”
The trio’s trysts started after Pedersen was hired as a campaign driver when McGreevey was mayor of Woodbridge, NJ, the former chauffeur said.
