IOW, she liked it, which is fine. However, it does send that mixed message now doesn't it?
Arianna Huffington is denying that anything inappropriate occurred after The New York Post's Page Six on Monday published images that appear to show Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) groping her during a photoshoot in 2000.
"The notion that there was anything inappropriate in this photo shoot is truly absurd," the co-founder of the Huffington Post said in a statement to the news outlet, which ran the story under the headline "Newly surfaced pics show Al Franken grabbing Arianna Huffington's breasts and butt."
But then there's this account. Apparently Arianna is willing to take one for the team. Mixed messages Arianna, mixed messages.
Huffington's statement challenges the account of a source who described to the Post that Franken's actions that day were inappropriate.
"That's his tactic, pretend like it's all a big joke. Arianna was pushing his hands away. He was groping her. There was some fun attached to it, but she wasn't enjoying it. She definitely told him to stop and pushed him away," the unnamed source said.
"Franken stood there with his hand on her bottom for a long time, because there are numerous frames, each taken seconds apart, and his hand was there the whole time - his hand wasn't just there for a quick moment," the source continued.
