*Earlier this week MSNBC did a special; show from New Orleans called “Racial Healing in New Orleans” and we thought it was kinda strange that instead of current the mayor, Latoya Cantrell, they had former mayor Mitch Landrieu as one of the guests. Well, now we think we have a pretty good idea why Mayor Cantrell was not there.
You see the New Orleans mayor is embroiled in a scandal as reported by local media outlets. However, Mayor Cantrell is denying being in an affair with NOPD Officer Jeffrey Vappie. But here’s the kicker. That denial comes after a divorce filing saying Vappie admitted to having an affair with the mayor to his wife.
Uh oh.
The Times-Picayune published an article on its website, including a text message exchange between the mayor and reporter Joseph Cranney, noted Fox8 News.

The exchange followed several stories that showed the mayor and her now-former security protection, Vappie, spending hours during the workday and even late at night alone in the city’s upper Pontalba Apartment.
A day after Fox8’s first story aired in November, Vappie’s wife filed for divorce. Then on Jan. 17, the station reported on a recently filed amended divorce petition alleging an affair between Officer Vappie and a “Mrs. L.C.”
Sources confirm Mrs. L.C. is Mayor Latoya Cantrell.
The filing even states Vappie admitted to the affair to his wife, and details several days the two “engaged in a sexual relationship.”
Here’s more via Fox8:
Most of the days listed involve dates in our stories where Vappie and Cantrell spent hours together alone in the apartment, including one night when Vappie left at 12:42 a.m. and then Cantrell 45 minutes later.
But now Mayor Cantrell responded in a text message to the reporter, she wrote, “By the time I complete my tenure as mayor, I would have slept with half of the city of New Orleans based on false accusations that come my way sometimes daily. This is only one of them.”
The mayor added, ”If I were a MAN, you would NOT be texting me about this bullsh*t.”
Experts say any relationship would likely violate NOPD and city policy. Vappie has been reassigned and is no longer a member of her security team.
