Adam Kuhn, the chief of staff for Ohio Congressmen Steve Stivers, resigned his office after his ex-girlfriend, a former porn star, tweeted a picture of Kuhn’s penis at the congressman. Jennifer Roubenes Allbaugh, who went by the stage name Ruby, later deleted the tweet, but the damage was done.
Here’s what you need to know about Kuhn and his ex-girlfriend.
1. The Married Allbaugh Wanted to Teach the ‘Selfish Pompous A**hole’ Kuhn a Lesson
After Kuhn split with Allbaugh, she wanted revenge for the breakup, according to Politico. The self-described “disgruntled former girlfriend” told Politico reporter John Bresnahan in a direct Twitter message that she “just wanted to teach the pompous a**hole a lesson.”
The former adult film star and free speech activist confessed she loved Kuhn and her husband at the same time. “I was trying to make him hate me, I guess,” Allbaugh said.
Along with the picture of Kuhn’s genitals, Allbaugh tweeted, “I hate you, AJK, you selfish pompous a—hole.” She added, “Now we’re even,” according to Politico.
2. Kuhn Worked for Stivers the Last Four Years

Kuhn worked on Stivers’ successful Congressional campaign in 2010 as campaign manager, according to Politico. In January 2011, Stivers made him deputy chief of staff and promoted him to chief of staff two years later.
Stivers accepted Kuhn’s resignation on June 24, and the congressman’s spokeswoman Courtney Whetstone released this short statement to Politico:
Congressman Stivers accepted Adam Kuhn’s resignation today. The office is not commenting on his personal life.
3. Kuhn Made a ‘Poor Judgment’ Call
Kuhn accepted responsibility for falling prey to the Twitter attack. He sent a statement directly to Politico expressing his regret:
Over the weekend, I was the victim of an attack on Twitter from a woman I had a relationship with in my personal life. I realize and apologize I had used poor judgement in my personal life regarding this relationship.
4. Allbaugh Left the Porn Movie Business to Raise Her Family
Allbaugh quit the adult film industry to raise her a family about six years ago. She lives in Fairlawn, Ohio, which is not located in Stivers’ district. She works at Sam’s Hideaway in Medina, Ohio as the the Head Entertainer, according to her now-deleted Twitter page.
On the Twitter page, she called herself the “Pornstar Pundit and debate lover” and is a member of the Adult Video News Hall of Fame.
5. Allbaugh’s Husband Served in the Military
Allbaugh’s husband was serving overseas in 2008, according to the video above. Going by her stage name, Ruby, she told Reality Check TV that at the time she was America’s favorite porn star Army wife:
This cause is very close to my heart because hubby’s at war right now. You have to keep it alive at home. [The Free Speech Coalition is] doing a lot of important work and we’re definitely policing the House and the Senate and keeping them in line.
