Argentinian lawmaker, Juan Emilio Ameri, who is married by the way, has now resigned after being seen in a live virtual meeting cuddling up to, grabbing, and kissing his girlfriend's breast. Apparently according to local reports, he is estranged from his wife and his girlfriend in the video is an advisor of his named Celeste Burgos. Ameri explained that they have poor internet connection in the interior of the country and he did not believe he was connected at the time of his interaction with his girlfriend. He says the meeting automatically reconnected without his knowledge. Ameri, who represents the northern province of Salta, was seen pulling down Burgos blouse, exposing the breast as he proceeded to kiss it for all his colleagues as well as the public to see. This is the moment that unfolded live:
Apparently Celeste Burgos recently had a boob job 10 days prior to this virtual meeting taking place. Juan Emilio Ameri said this about the incident: "I saw that my partner came out of the bathroom and I asked how she was, due to the operation. At that moment she sat with me and I kissed her on the breast without realizing that the connection had returned. It was a moment of intimacy with my partner that leaked. It was serious, really, I take charge and I am very ashamed. I am very distressed by what is happening.”
After this incident took place during the live session, House President interrupted the session to report a "serious offense" and Ameri was immediately suspended for 180 days.
Ameri made another statementto which he apologized for the incident: "I apologize to the citizens, to my family, to my partner, for all this situation. I want to apologize to my mother, my sisters, my daughters, with whom I have not yet spoken."
Man, talk about a Zoom session gone wrong! Word of advice to anyone during this COVID time where we're all adjusting to virtual meetings, sessions, and learning...assume at ALL TIMES you are being heard and seen when that computer screen is up and on!
