Cindy Hampton remains largely mysterious amidst all the controversies and hidden from the glare of the paparazzi camera. How has the woman, who is said to have been the former mistress of Nevada Senator John Ensign, managed to evade the prying lenses this long? Nowhere on the Internet any trace of her photograph is found; all search results yielding a big naught.

In the days that Senator John Ensign has publicly accepted and apologized for his illicit affair with his former campaign staffer, the media and the cyber world has been thrown in a frenzied effort to locate the mysterious woman. In the Senator’s statement, the name of the woman was not publicized, therefore creating a big confusion in the public eye.

This week however, the Hamptons released a statement through their lawyer that has all but cleared the mystery surrounding the identity of the ‘mistress’. In the statement, the Hamptons have said,”It is unfortunate the Senator chose to air this very personal matter, especially after the Hamptons did everything possible to keep this matter private. It is equally unfortunate that he did so without concern for the effect such an announcement would have on the Hampton family. In time, the Hamptons will be ready and willing to tell their side of the story.” The most funny thing about the whole incident is that Cindy Hampton is a part of the group “Promise Keepers”, who promotes marital fidelity.

The talks mostly doing the round is that Ensign was forced to go public after Cindy Hampton’s husband Doug made demands of huge amounts of money from him.
