New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who is defending herself after reports
indicated that she’s having an affair with a police officer, described the
accusations against her as sexist. Cantrell expressed her statement in a
text message to Nola.com.

“By the time I complete my tenure as mayor I would have slept with half of
the City of New Orleans based on false accusations that come my way
sometimes daily,” Cantrell told Nola. “This is only one of them.”

The mayor continued to express her frustration, saying “If I were a MAN
you would NOT be texting me about this bull***t.”

The accusations against Cantrell surfaced after news outlets reported on
the divorce petition recently filed by the wife of New Orleans Police
Officer Jeffrey Vappie.

The petition alleges that the mayor began an “ongoing sexual relationship”
with Vappie in May 2021. According to the document, Vappie admitted to his
wife that he was having an affair with the mayor, who is referred to as
“Mrs. L.C” in the paper.

The petition states that Cantrell and Vappie had at least 10 dates
together in August and September of 2022. The officer, according to the
document, still went to work on seven of those days. Some of his shifts
began as early as 7 a.m. and ran as late as 10 p.m.

The city’s policy does not explicitly ban sexual relationships between
supervisors and subordinates. However, the policy statesthat “quid pro
quo” sexual harassment occurs “when the rejection of sexual advances would
result in adverse decisions affecting an employee’s job status.”

Chief Administrative Officer Gilbert Montaño didn’t clarify whether
Cantrell or Vappie violated any laws.

Rafael Goyeneche, president of the watchdog Metropolitan Crime Commission,
said Vappie would likely violate policies of professionalism if he had an
affair while on the clock. Goyeneche told Nola that Vappie could also face
criminal charges if he reported hours for time he didn’t actually spend
working security.
