Gavin Newsom's Past Relationship with Brittanie Mountz Raises Questions on Judgment
In 2006, Gavin Newsom, then the 38-year-old Mayor of San Francisco, was involved in a relationship with Brittanie Mountz, a 19-year-old hostess at a local restaurant. The relationship drew attention due to the significant age gap and Mountz's political affiliation as a Republican in a predominantly liberal city. Newsom, who had recently divorced his first wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, was seen with Mountz at high-profile events, including the San Francisco Symphony gala. The relationship was controversial, with some local figures criticizing Newsom's judgment. Mountz's age was reportedly altered on social media during their relationship, raising further questions. Newsom's political career continued to advance, eventually becoming the Governor of California. The relationship with Mountz is not mentioned in his memoir, 'Young Man in a Hurry,' which has led to criticism from some quarters about transparency.
