Browns in public show of unity
Embattled Auckland Mayor Len Brown and his wife Shan Inglis put on a public show of unity yesterday.
Brown, who has gone to ground since admitting to a two-year affair with a woman 25 years his junior, and Inglis went out for coffee in Manukau, South Auckland.
"It's a beautiful morning. I'm just going to get a cup of coffee, is that OK? I haven't had one this morning," Inglis told the Sunday Star-Times yesterday. "I'm really looking forward to it."
Sources close to Brown say the couple are still working through the mayor's infidelity and that Inglis is still coming to terms with the affair - which she found out about less than two weeks ago.
It was "no foregone conclusion" that Inglis would stay with Brown, one source said.
The couple has refused requests to be interviewed or photographed together and Inglis has declined to speak publicly in support of her husband - although Brown's daughters backed their father in a public statement last week.
Those close to Brown say the mayor, due to resume his public duties tomorrow, can weather the storm and that it will not affect his ability to do his job.
"The guy has been fundamentally very stupid and is now paying the price for that," said one. "He's suffered a big hurt right now but public figures have shown they can come back from periods of intense embarrassment . . . and if they handle it credibly, the public can forgive. They don't forget but they can forgive."
The source said Brown contemplated resignation when the story of his affair broke on Tuesday but was persuaded by colleagues and his advisers to fight on.
"Every emotion and every possibility went through his head," a source close to Brown said.
Brown's former mistress yesterday expressed her regret over the affair going public, and said she never wanted Brown to resign from the mayoralty.
In a statement to the Sunday Star-Times, Chuang's spokesman Hamish Price said: "Bev has issued a private apology to Len in an email to a person who is very friendly with Len."
Price, a close friend of Chuang's, added: "She did deeply regret the hurt she caused Len." |
