Georgie Leahy, the ex-girlfriend of former Glee actor Mark Salling, spoke out recently for the first time since the actor’s suicide in 2017, reports People magazine.
During an episode of her podcast, Georgie and Friends, Leahy recounted what it was like for her to discover Salling had been arrested for possession of child pornography. Knowing the conviction would turn the general public against him, Leahy wanted her ex to understand that she would remain by his side.
“It’s an addiction, it’s a sickness. None of us can comprehend it, understand it,” Leahy said about the charges.
According to her, the two had a very private relationship. Little evidence of their partnership exists. Leahy claims that was intentional on Salling’s part as he wanted to “protect her” by keeping their relationship out of the public eye.
