George Santos confesses he is ‘afraid’ as he prepares for prison, attributing ‘insecurities’ to ‘America’s Next Top Model’
Santos’ fate lies in limbo
George Santos: “Look, my trial begins now. I’m terrified.
“No surprise. It’s not an easy process to go through. It messes with your psychological health. I’m not in good mental health. Such a thing hurts and messes with you psychologically.
“My life? I was born in Elmhurst Hospital, Jackson Heights. We lived in a basement apartment. Child of immigrants, we’d holiday in Brazil. New York resident, I married my wife here. It lasted a few years. Out of the closet, I then married my husband Matt in 2021. We met 2018.
“The press calls George Santos a liar so he’s always going to be lying. Not painting myself a victim, but I don’t anymore miss the rubber chicken dinners and rah-rah fund-raisers.
“Look, I struggle with body dysmorphia. It messes with me. Coupled with a depressive state, I have attention deficit disorder.
“Matt’s my house sitter. That’s his role now. Weekends it’s the Poconos. It breaks the insanity of sitting in a small apartment while the world’s peeing on you. Putting your foot on grass, hiking, helps the pressure.
“I know I’ve got to get my life in order and out of the melting pot I live in. Then I plan on having kids.”
Role models
Forget your BS, why create such freaking situations? Why be everyone’s pain in the ass? Just to get attention which may land you in the can? What’s your point? Kids need structure. You can’t offer that.
“I can’t answer. I sit back and go, ‘What happened?’ I just did it. I made this mess and can’t know why. I know I’m not well. Tabloids say I’ll go to jail for 20 years. Some media pundits say I could get a combined 50 to 60 years. Oh, my God. It’s unbearable.”
How about you just stop lying?
“Absolutely. But I was inexperienced. I’m a political junkie. Fascinated by politics. Trusted people I shouldn’t have. I’m not minimizing it.
“I know lying’s inexcusable. I know I shouldn’t lie. Look, I’m human. I’ve made mistakes.
“I should sue producers of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ because I watched too much of that as a kid. I created all these insecurities about myself.”
You saying outright that you have a mental problem?
“I’m saying maybe I can’t focus. I should sue Tyra Banks and her producers because watching so much of that as a kid created all these insecurities.”
A court marital for seat seeker
Speaking politics:
Civil Court Judge Gerald Lebovits can run unopposed in November for the open NY County Supreme Court seat. The Dems OK’d him Aug. 8. Expected to be sworn in next January. Wife Margaret Chan’s already a Manhattan Supreme Court judge.
Our Town columnist Arlene Kayatt asked him about serving on the same court as the missus, who was elected three years ago. He said: “She’s my supervising judge at home and at work.”
Yeah, right. Praise be to Democrats — although I don’t know why.
In the immortal words of Irving Nostradamus: “No man is lonely while eating spaghetti. It just takes so much attention.”
Maybe only in New York, kids, only in New York.
