- New Orleans' mayor is accused of having a years-long affair with her bodyguard
The
embattled mayor of New Orleans is now accused of having an 'ongoing adulterous affair' with the former head of her police detail who has since been suspended due to an investigation into irregularities relating to his pay.
The latest allegations came to light after the wife of New Orleans' police detective Jeffrey Vappie, 50, amended her divorce petition to claim that her estranged husband was involved in a sexual relationship with a woman named only as 'Mrs. L.C.'
Multiple media outlets in the area have confirmed that 'Mrs. L.C.' is the city's mayor LaToya Cantrell, 50. Cantrell became the first woman elected as mayor of New Orleans in 2018. She is currently battling a recall effort amid numerous financial scandals.
Vappie's wife, Danielle, alleges that her husband and the mayor have been carrying on the affair since May 2021, the same month that he began working on Cantrell's detail.
