Despite Gay American and former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey's claims to the contrary, which are detailed at length in his forthcoming memoir, former McGreevey aide Golan Cipel insists that he never had a relationship with McGreevey, nor did he ever attempt to blackmail the then-governor. In an interview from Israel, Cipel said, "I was not his lover. I've never met a liar like Jim McGreevey. Cipel then added:

"We did not undress and he did not kiss me. It was not the first time in McGreevey's life that a kiss meant what it was supposed to mean — it did not send him through the roof. He was not like a man emerging from 44 years in a cave to taste pure air for the first time, feel direct sunlight on pallid skin, warmth where there had only ever been a bone-chilling numbness."

"He did not pull me to the bed and we did not make love like he'd always dreamed: a boastful, passionate, whispering, masculine kind of love."
