Gay Ex-Governor Admits to Ménage a Trois

By Pamela Mortimer

Perhaps Dina Matos McGreevey should think twice about casting the first stone. According to reports, Matos McGreeveys condemnation of NY Governor Eliot Spitzer’s alleged affairs with prostitutes comes off as hypocritical. At least that’s what the McGreeveys’ ex-driver said when he unveiled the news of a clandestine ménage a trois between himself, the former governor and Matos McGreevey.

At the time of the tryst, James McGreevey, now 50, was residing in the governor’s mansion along with his wife, Dina. In a new report released Monday, both McGreevey and his one-time driver insist that they engaged in numerous threesomes with Dina Matos McGreevey. The McGreeveys are currently in the midst of a nasty divorce due to the former governor’s admission to being gay.

According to Matos McGreevey, the threesomes never occurred.

The report came via interviews published in The (Newark) Star-Ledger and the New York Post with Theodore Pedersen, a former McGreevey campaign aide.

Pedersen, 29, admitted that gave the interviews because he believed Matos McGreevey was being hypocritical regarding her recent criticism of former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

"I wanted to get this out now because it was so offensive to me that she goes on television playing the victim," Pedersen told The Star-Ledger.

According to Pedersen the threesomes took place between 1999 and 2001 and were known to the participants as "Friday Night Specials," according to The Star-Ledger.

Pedersen said that he and McGreevey had become close friends while on the campaign trail. Eventually, there was a conversation that broached the idea of group sex involving the governor’s wife. Pederson said that one night the plans became reality.

"We came up with this nice little formula for making it work," Pedersen said.

The Post reported that a routine soon followed: The three would meet at a local T.G.I. Friday's restaurant for drinks. Then they would venture to the McGreeveys' Woodbridge, N.J., home for "a hard-core consensual sex orgy."

Pedersen told the Post he believed "his participation in the group sex was blessed by Matos McGreevey."

"He liked watching me, and she would watch me while she was [performing sex acts] with Jim," Pedersen told the Post. "In my opinion, me being a part of their sexual relationship enhanced it for both of them."

Matos McGreevey openly denied the allegations, stating that Pedersen's claims of consensual three-way sex "are completely false and were prompted by Jim McGreevey."

"Jim has had a close relationship with Pedersen since his days as mayor of Woodbridge, and arranged jobs for Pedersen from that time through his years as governor and beyond," said Matos McGreevey, 41. "They have continued their close relationship since Jim left office. This was obviously payback time for Pedersen."

McGreevey later disputed the denial from his soon to be ex-wife.

McGreevey made a statement in which he said that he and Matos McGreevey need to move forward for the sake of their 6-year-old daughter.

"This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives," McGreevey said.
