Late Wednesday, the office of Nashville Mayor Megan Barry released a statement in which she admitted she has “engaged in an extramarital affair with the former head of my security detail.”
Though she apologized to the people of Nashville and her husband, Barry gave no indication she was even considering resigning, saying “I remain firmly committed to working hard to serve the people of Nashville now and into the future.”
A press conference is now scheduled for 7 p.m.
You can read the full statement here:
“Today, I have acknowledged publicly that I have engaged in an extramarital affair with the former head of my security detail.
“I accept full responsibility for the pain I have caused my family and his. I am so sorry to my husband Bruce, who has stood by me in my darkest moments and remains committed to our marriage, just as I am committed to repairing the damage I have done.
“I also must apologize to the people of Nashville who elected me to serve as your mayor. I knew my actions could cause damage to my office and the ones I loved, but I did it anyway. I must hold myself to the highest standard of which the voters deserve to expect. Please know that I’m disappointed in myself but also understand that I’m a human and that I made a mistake.
“In 2015, I was elected to serve as Mayor of Nashville on a platform that included building more affordable housing, improving public education, and promoting better transportation options. We have made progress on these fronts – but there is more to be done. While I regret any distractions that will be caused by my actions, I remain firmly committed to working hard to serve the people of Nashville now and into the future.
“God will forgive me, but the people of Nashville don’t have to. In the weeks and months to come, I will work hard to earn your forgiveness and earn back your trust.”
Two years ago, when Metro Councilman Loinel Greene was implicated in potentially illegal activity and resigned, Mayor Barry had a somewhat different attitude about the standards of conduct that apply to elected officials in Metro Nashville Government.
“Mr. Greene did the right thing by resigning from his position on the Metro Council. Nashville deserves to have elected leaders they can trust to uphold the law and serve as role models. I hope whoever is elected to replace Mr. Greene to serve Council District 1 will do just that,” Mayor Barry said. (emphasis added)
Greene was later disbarred.
Sources tell The Tennessee Star that if Mayor Barry, who has given no indication at all that she intends to resign, were, in fact, to resign, Vice Mayor David Briley would become acting mayor, and a special election for a new mayor would be held within six months.

Dammit ! All I got on my METRO retiree check was an extra $28.11 a month.
No one can ever forgive Barry more than she’s already forgiven herself. She’s very understanding of her failures.
She has made love nests in cities all over the country and to Europe and paying the cop overtime to be her sweetback while the taxpayers feathered that nest to the tune of $120k not counting the travel. Any corporation would have fired both of these people already.
That would be holding Nashville government to the same standard as those morally degenerate corporations though. She already said she has no intention to go.
Naturally, Cuck Bruce is fine with it. But trying to put this off as being no big deal compared to the death of her son is beyond a new scumbag low as she did in her Phil Williams interview.
Resign now.
