Anthony Weiner said he loved me, says sexting pal

Anthony Weiner's sexting friend has revealed that the US politician had told her that he loved her and she had believed him.

In an exclusive sitdown with 'Inside Edition' Sydney Leathers said that it disgusted her and made her feel physically ill.

She said that she is disgusted by him and that he is not who she believed he was.

Leathers said that she has barely been able to eat since news of her illicit cyber encounter with the married mayoral candidate was revealed earlier this week.

She said that the couple got so close during their online fling that the US politician even consulted with her before running for the mayoral post.

The 22-year-old former tanning salon employee and political blogger said that she cared about him a lot, as he was very important to her.

She also revealed that she told Anthony Weiner that she loved him and he said the same, the New York Daily Post reported.

Leathers said that Weiner called himself an argumentative, perpetually horny middle-aged man.
