NYC City Council candidate in leaked sex tape with dominatrix makes documentary, admits stunt

nypost.com:

video posted on Twitter showing the shirtless candidate gagged, while a leather-clad dominatrix dripped hot wax on him and clipped clothespins to his nipples.It was all part of an elaborate hoax.

Weiner, whose dad Eric Weiner co-created the famed TV kids show “Dora the Explorer,” played a dirty trick on himself that hoodwinked the media, the public — and the people he asked to vote for him.At the time, Weiner’s team flagged the video to the Post, claiming they wanted to get ahead of political opponents who might weaponize it. “I am a proud BDSMer.

I like BDSM activity,” Weiner said then, referring to sex acts such as bondage, domination and sadomasochism. But Weiner’s friend Joe Gallagher, a fellow actor and scriptwriter who served as campaign manager, admitted this week that the whole campaign was fodder for their satirical “reality movie” inspired by the Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer sex scandals.“It was just something we filmed for the campaign,” Gallagher told The Post. “We decided we wanted to do some sort of political comedy.

And Zack actually had an idea. He wanted to write a script about a local politician or bureaucrat who benefits through some sort of scandal.”The dominatrix stunt generated international news and late-night hilarity by Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Greg Gutfeld, among others.
