Anthony Weiner held a press conference earlier today admitting to sending even more sexually explicit material over the internet.

Weiner's statements came after the gossip site The Dirty posted allegations and screengrabs from an unidentified woman who claimed that the politician had exchanged lewd photos with her while using the pseudonym "Carlos Danger." During the conference, Weiner did admit that he'd continued sexing after his 2011 resignation from Congress, he didn't confirm specifics about the Dirty report.

"Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of them happened after," he said. "While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me."

Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, was by his side throughout and even made her first public comment on the ordeal.

"I love him. I have forgiven him. I believe in him, and as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward," she said of her husband's indescretions.

And while the Weiners are speaking out about the newest wrinkle in this old scandal, Hollywood is weighing in on their own. See what the stars are saying about Weiner's most recent drama here.
