Less than a week after Governor Bentley denied a scandalous relationship with his political adviser Rebekah Mason, the complete audio recordings of their alleged affair have been released online.
In an exclusive report by Yellowhammer News, Governor Bentley is heard on the phone with a woman believed to be Rebekah Mason. You can also hear Bentley at the beginning of the recording shout out to Dianne Bentley, who is believed to have left her phone in the house to record the conversation.
Monday morning soon after the full recordings were released, Governor Bentley denied to address them at a political event. He did say, however, he would not resign.
“I made a statement last week about that,” Bentley said.
Here are the recordings coming exclusively from Yellowhammer News:
HIGHLIGHTS FROM VIDEO #1 (Transcript quotes courtesy of Yellowhammer News)
Bentley: Well, we just got home and Dianne’s going for a walk on the beach, so that worked out perfect.
Bentley: I’ll be able to talk to you, just for a few minutes.
Bentley: Well, I was so afraid — this just worked out perfect — because I was so afraid I just wasn’t gon’ have a chance to talk to you…
Bentley: I love when you come to see me. You know, I’ve been thinking about — I’ve been thinking about, I think I am going to rearrange the office if Wanda retires. She’s not gon’ retire, she’s going to work part time, but I think that would be a good time to do it.
Bentley: I do you, too, baby. I do, Rebekah. I just, I miss you. I wish I was with you right now. You know, it is, it is scary. I almost… I kinda, do you just start worrying about us just a little bit?
Bentley: You’d kiss me? I love that. You know I do love that. You know what? When I stand behind you and I put my arms around you, and I put my hands on your breasts, and I put my hands on you and pull you in real close. Hey, I love that, too.
Bentley: Put my hands under your shirt.
Bentley: Oh, babe. I know. I’m thinking about that right now, so I better quit.
Bentley: You were thinking about (it)? Yea, I could tell you were thinking about it last night.
