The former finance director of disgraced Democrat Katie Hill says he is “broken and suicidal” months after a sex scandal put him into the spotlight of a Beltway bombshell.
Graham Kelly, who worked as Hill’s finance director ever since he joined her congressional campaign in 2017, says he was “attached at the hip” to Hill before scandalous nude pictures of the former congresswoman posted online in November 2019 drove a wedge between their relationship. Weeks later, Kelly resigned as rumors swirled of Hill sleeping with a staff member alleged to be him.
But Kelly denies ever being involved sexually with Hill and says his career is now in flames. Without an opportunity to share his side of the story, Kelly admits he considered taking his life on many occasions during the past several months.
“There were countless times I was standing on the metro station where I was like, ‘Hey, what if I jumped in front of the train right now?” Kelly told the New York Post. “My apartment is on the third floor, and I walk on the balcony, and I just like stare out off the deck [and think] maybe I should jump. I have those thoughts all the damn time.”
Kelly was thrown into the public eye when Hill’s estranged husband, Kenny Heslep, claimed in a now-deleted Facebook post that she had a relationship with “with her finance director for the past year at least.”
Hill insisted she was the victim, alleging that Republican operatives singled her out based on her gender and political allegiance. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended Hill, saying she would not have received the same scrutiny if she was a man.
