After Leathers calmed down, she realized she might be able to profit from the secret cyber liaison.

“I’m not going to lie, my initial response, as a business person, was ‘this is a business opportunity.’ And she, from the very beginning, said, ‘I’d like to get something out of this.’” He thought Leathers could sell her story for “$100,000 or so.”

Leathers told Colagiovanni all the down-and-dirty details of her hookup with the horny politician, he said.

“She told me about his shoe fetish. The explicit, sexual things he wanted to do. I saw the messages they sent each other.”

“He talked about getting Sydney a condo in Chicago,” he said, noting that Leathers had friends in the Windy City and wanted to try modeling.
