from www.politico.com – The young woman who was sent a lewd photo from the Twitter account of Rep. Anthony Weiner says she doesn’t think the New York Democrat was hacked, but that he may have been trying to send it to a porn star with a similar name.

Gennette Cordova, a 21-year-old college student from Seattle, posed for a photo shoot with The New York Post on Thursday and shared her side of the story with the paper.

“Her name is Ginger — it makes sense he might have mixed us up,” Cordova said, referring to Ginger Lee, a stripper and porn star who follows Weiner on Twitter.

In March, Lee tweeted about wanting “sexual relations” with Weiner and, less than two weeks later, she wrote that she’d received a private direct message from the congressman. Weiner had also followed Lee on Twitter but said he stopped doing so when he found out who she was.

Weiner said in an interview with CNN earlier this week that he thinks his note to Lee was a “fairly pro forma thing that goes out” to people who follow him on Twitter.

Weiner, who has said he asked a lawyer to look into the hacking but hasn’t reported it to the authorities, further fanned the controversy when he said earlier this week that the picture might be of him.

Though some reports have suggested otherwise, Cordova, who issued a lengthy statement over the weekend, said she’s never supported Weiner’s claim that his account was hacked.

“Everyone’s [writing] that I backed [Weiner’s] contention that there was a hacking,” she told the Post. “But I never mentioned anything about a hacking.”

Cordova said she’s become “collateral damage” in the Weiner scandal and “just want[s] this to be over” so that she can move on with her life. She wants to work as a restaurant hostess or law firm assistant this summer while on vacation from school.

Cordova’s been overwhelmed with interview requests and “people are saying, ‘You need a book deal’” but she said she’s not interested. “What for? This isn’t my place, I just want to get it over with.”

“I’ve just been thinking about how I can get my privacy back,” she added.

Meanwhile, Weiner’s Washington office staff on Thursday called Capitol Police after being approached by a reporter from New York’s CBS affiliate who said she wanted Weiner “to say something to his constituents, the people who have to vote for him.”

from www.nypost.com – “Weinergate” has put a Seattle college cutie through the wringer — jeopardizing her academic dreams, embarrassing her family and shattering her privacy.

“I’m just collateral damage,” Gennette Cordova, 21, lamented in explaining how her world was turned upside-down when she wound up on the receiving end of a lewd, underwear-clad crotch shot sent from Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account.

“I just want this to be over,” she told The Post yesterday during an exclusive photo shoot and interview near her Bellingham, Wash., college campus.

Cordova thinks the package-hugging picture — which Weiner “can’t say with certitude” isn’t his — was meant for somebody else and landed in her Twitter account by mistake.

Cordova is one of 198 people, many of them young, beautiful women, whom Weiner follows on Twitter.

Until recently, the congressman also followed stripper and porn actress Ginger Lee, 28, who openly gushes about her “Mr. Sexy Congressman” on social-network sites.

“Her name is Ginger — it makes sense he might have mixed us up,” Cordova said, noting that two of the first three letters of their names are the same.

Weiner has admitted he sent Lee at least one private Twitter message, but has declined to reveal the content and claims they’ve never met.

Cordova says she doesn’t know Weiner personally, but became a fan after seeing him on television.

She called the scandal — fueled by days of Weiner’s snarky sidestepping on whether it’s his equipment in the shot — “an eye-opening experience.”

“Everyone’s [writing] that I backed [Weiner’s] contention that there was a hacking,” she said. “But I never mentioned anything about a hacking.”

Weiner first contended his Twitter account was hacked, which is a federal offense, but later backed off, calling it “a prank.”

The randy representative hasn’t reached out to Cordova, and she said she doesn’t expect an apology.

“I just want to get on with my life,” said Cordova, who plans to work as a restaurant hostess or law firm assistant this summer.

“This has been really hard on me.”

She’s been inundated with interview requests but wants to be left alone.

“People are saying, ‘You need a book deal.’ What for? This isn’t my place, I just want to get it over with.”

She agreed to pose for pictures to offset what she said are unflattering snapshots of her, some from social-media sites, that have appeared.

“Some of the pictures have been really bad — just me out partying and stuff,” said Cordova. “My grandparents have been seeing this. It’s so embarrassing.”

“It’s hard for me to smile,” she said. “I’m in a bad mood and I’m sick.”

Cordova, a journalism student whose college finals are under way, said she’s still in school but has dropped some classes.

“I haven’t slept much,” she said. “I’ve just been constantly monitoring what’s being said about me. It’s crazy.”

Cordova said her family and friends have created “a love bubble” around her, with her boyfriend making her tea and her mom, siblings and cousins shielding her from the press.

“I don’t really get the whole situation,” she said.

“I’ve just been thinking about how I can get my privacy back.”
