Silda Wall Spitzer: The public ordeal of a private person
By Eric Konigsberg
Silda Wall Spitzer gave up a high-powered career as a corporate lawyer to raise three daughters and support her husband as he sought elective office, yet has always had deep reservations about his political career. Time and again, she has found herself in the particular bind of encouraging him during critical junctures in his public life while still holding on to some regret that he had chosen to put himself — and their family — there in the first place.
In 1994, after Eliot Spitzer made his first, unsuccessful run for New York State attorney general, Wall Spitzer told Nicholas Kourides, a friend and a former colleague of hers from the world of corporate law, "Well, now he can go back and get a real job," he said in a 2006 interview.
And in July, lamenting the political tumult that rocked the first six months of Governor Spitzer's time in office, his wife asked him what would have been so bad about going into his father's real estate business, Spitzer said at the time.
According to friends, the governor's time in Albany exacted a psychic cost from Wall Spitzer, 50, who has not been able to fully embrace her role as first lady. "I think the whole period of his governorship hasn't fit her," one friend of both Spitzers said. "It strained the marriage."
Recently, the friend said, the strain had increased.
"He's been traveling a lot," the friend continued, "and then what was happening to him politically — I had sensed it with Silda over the last several weeks in particular. She's an extremely private person."
On Monday, a day after she learned that federal investigators had identified Governor Spitzer as a customer of a high-priced prostitution ring, Wall Spitzer urged her husband not to resign. And on Tuesday, she apparently hewed to that line.
People close to Spitzer said that when the news first broke, Wall Spitzer had emotionally pleaded with her husband not to give up the governorship.
Friends of the pair said that they initially believed Wall Spitzer took the stance she did because she was not yet aware of the extent of the government's investigation. "When Silda said that, the details that have come out since weren't known," a friend of Spitzer's said, referring to the fact that the government complaint against the prostitution ring stemmed from an IRS inquiry and involved Spitzer's bank records.
On Monday and Tuesday, as the allegations exploded across front pages and television screens, Governor Spitzer and Wall Spitzer sought the advice of a group of people who over the years have been both colleagues and friends.
"I was flabbergasted," said Lloyd Constantine, a senior adviser and a longtime friend, describing his reaction to the initial news reports.
"I have tremendous insight into what she's going through," Constantine said. "Right now, what I'm trying to do, as a friend of Eliot and Silda's, is to be as helpful as possible to them and to their family and to the people of the state of New York. And at this time, that does not involve talking about what they have shared with me."
Constantine, whose wife, Jan, is a good friend of Wall Spitzer (the two families have vacation homes near each other in upstate New York and have spent Thanksgivings together), was said to be initially Wall Spitzer's lone ally in encouraging Governor Spitzer not to resign in haste.
Reached on her cellphone on Tuesday evening, Wall Spitzer declined, with extreme politeness, to discuss her husband's political future. "I really don't have anything to say," she said.
Clifford Sloan, a friend of Spitzer's during their time as Harvard Law School students and a lawyer in Washington, is believed by mutual friends to have come to New York to be by the governor's side.
It's difficult at the moment to see Wall Spitzer as something other than the aggrieved party in her husband's transgressions. But she appears to still hold singular sway over his political decisions.
Some friends said that they had reached out to the Spitzers by e-mail to express their sympathy and support. "And she responded in a very generous and loving way," said Andrew Celli Jr., one friend. "I was a little surprised that she had the inclination to write back. I supposed it means she's not totally, totally in the bunker."
Friends of Spitzer's describe his wife as perhaps the only person whose approval he values so much that she has even, at times, been able to take the edge off his abrasive style. They cite her willingness to quit her job at Chase Manhattan Bank (she previously worked at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom) in 1994, the year the youngest of their three daughters was born and the year of her husband's first run for attorney general, as something for which he has always felt especially grateful.
"The fact that she believed in me enough to put her very promising legal career on hold was a great source of inspiration," Spitzer said in an interview during his 2006 campaign.
But Wall Spitzer, also speaking at the time of the campaign, acknowledged her enduring ambivalence.
"I've basically got three jobs now, with the campaign," she said — referring also to motherhood and Children for Children, a foundation she started. "And none of them are corporate law, and none of them pay."
The two met as students at Harvard Law School and were married in 1987. Wall Spitzer was the product of Concord, North Carolina, which had a population of 20,000, and a graduate of Meredith College, a Baptist women's school in her home state.
In 2006, she said that one of the things that had always attracted her to her husband was his close relationship with his parents.
"I can always tell when Eliot is talking to his mother or his father on the phone," she said. "He just sounds different."
Since Governor Spitzer began his term in Albany, his wife has spent much of her time in New York City, where their teenage daughters have remained and attend school. In 2006, when Wall Spitzer showed a reporter around their apartment on Fifth Avenue, she proudly declared that as a rule, only artwork made by members of the immediate family was allowed to hang on the walls.
One multicolored drip painting, in a den that the family calls the Adirondack Room, had been signed "Spitzer Wall," because the two of them had painted it together early in their courtship.
"Eliot and I had been to the Whitney and were looking at a Jackson Pollock, and he said, 'I could do that,' " Wall Spitzer said, imitating her husband with a braggadocious tone. "So I said, 'Let's see you try,' and then I helped him."
Wow, props to her for giving up a career just like that in order to raise a family.
I really can't see her maintaining any form of sanity staying married to this guy ...sad, really. |

I know the right thing at the moment is to be by his side.. maybe?? But I couldn't.
They've got 3 older kids that understand fully what their father did. I feel so bad for her. |
