Michigan Lawmaker's Infidelity Exposed on Adult Hookup Sites
A Republican state representative in Michigan, Bryan Posthumus, has been linked to several adult hookup sites. The data breach revealed that his account was used multiple times on Ashley Madison and Fling.com, a website for people seeking affairs.
Posthumus, who has built his political career around "traditional family values," appears to have led a double life. His personal information, including his name, email address, and home address, were exposed in the data breach. A credit card bearing his name was also linked to one of the accounts.
The breach was revealed after a cybersecurity database verified the information. Posthumus's office initially denied any involvement, but later released a statement claiming that the allegations were "categorically false" and part of a "hit piece" aimed at discrediting him.
However, documents show that Posthumus's account on Ashley Madison was used between March and September 2012, while he was still married. The profile associated with his account listed explicit sexual preferences and indicated that the user was seeking female companionship.
Posthumus has been involved in several high-profile controversies, including a lawsuit filed by a migrant worker who claimed wage theft and labor-law violations on his hop farm. Posthumus's business partner has described the allegations as "politically motivated" and "frivolous."
The discovery of Posthumus's infidelity has raised questions about his commitment to the values he claims to uphold. In 2022, he received a "Friend of the Family Award" from the Christian Coalition of Michigan for his support of traditional family values.
Posthumus is part of one of Michigan's most prominent Republican families. His father served as lieutenant governor under Governor John Engler, and his sister has held several public offices. Despite the controversy surrounding his personal life, Posthumus remains a key figure in the state Republican Party.
The story raises concerns about the credibility of politicians who claim to uphold traditional family values but may be living outside those values themselves. It also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in politics, particularly when it comes to personal scandals that can have serious consequences for one's reputation and career.

This is so frustrating - our elected officials are supposed to set an example, especially when it comes to family values! 
I mean, Bryan Posthumus is a total hypocrite if he's been cheating on his wife and pretending to be this "family man" all these years. And what really gets me is that he's got the nerve to deny any involvement in these adult hookup sites, like it's some kind of game. 
Newsflash: you can't hide behind a politician's PR team forever! 
I'm so tired of politicians thinking they're above scrutiny and accountability. Can we please just get some real leaders who aren't more interested in their own personal lives than serving the people? 
for women's rights in politics... think about it, if anyone thought Bryan Posthumus was being all genuine with those "traditional family values" he's been spewing out, now they know the truth. It's like a wake-up call for people to stop taking politicians at face value and start expecting them to be real humans with flaws too 
The fact that his account was linked to a credit card with his name on it... that's just weird. And what about all the controversies surrounding him before this one came out? It feels like some people might be trying to take him down, but at the same time... shouldn't we care if our politicians are living up to their own values or not? 
he's like, all about "traditional family values" but it turns out he's been cheating on his wife with some random chick on the internet 
. It raises so many questions about accountability and integrity in politics. How can we trust someone who's been caught up in this scandal to represent our values when it seems they're living a life that's antithetical to them? And what does this say about the kind of standards we should be holding for politicians? Shouldn't transparency and honesty be non-negotiable, especially when it comes to personal lives? This just highlights how messy politics can get, and how difficult it is to separate fact from fiction 
.
Posthumus is like the ultimate hypocrite! He's all about "traditional family values" but his own account on Ashley Madison says otherwise 
I mean, who tries to sneak around for 6 years with an affair? That's just crazy talk! But seriously tho, it's messed up that he tried to deny it and then later said it was a hit piece 
. I'm not buying the whole "categorically false" excuse from his office either 
.
. It's like, how can you preach about what's good for everyone else's relationships when you're busy having your own affair on the side? And now that it's all out, his "Friend of the Family Award" is just laughable 
. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT HIM, THOUGH - IT'S ABOUT THE REPUTATION OF HIS OFFICE AND THE PARTY HE REPRESNTS 
. WE NEED TO HOLD PEOPLE IN POWER ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO STUFF LIKE THIS
