“I think for most of my adult life, certainly in the last 25 years that I’ve been in public service or in the public eye, I have been the invisible person behind the primary people in my life,” Abedin recently told CBS.

(He’s out now, and the two are finalizing their divorce.) In the years since, Abedin’s story has been told again and again-in tabloids, in Saturday Night Live skits, in the 2016 documentary Weiner, which Abedin admits she’s never watched. But Abedin’s personal life was thrust into the foreground when her now-estranged husband Anthony Weiner’s congressional career imploded as a series of sexting scandals came to light and eventually landed him in prison.
