Ex-wife says Rob Porter's then-girlfriend reached out for help in 2016

The second ex-wife of outgoing White House staff secretary Rob Porter says a woman reached out to her in February 2016 to say she was in an abusive relationship with Porter and wanted to know whether the ex-wife's experience had been similar.

Jenny Willoughby, Porter's second wife, told CBS News about the interaction in an interview Wednesday. Porter's ex-girlfriend could not immediately be reached for comment.

The now-former girlfriend is the third woman -- along with Willoughby and Porter's first wife, Colbie Holderness -- to have claimed Porter abused them. CBS News has reached out to the former girlfriend. The White House announced Porter's resignation on Wednesday.

In 2010, Willoughby filed an emergency protective order against Porter after an altercation at her home. The Daily Mail first reported the allegations by Porter's ex-wives on Tuesday night. Holderness told the paper that Porter had kicked and punched her in the past, providing a photo of her with a black eye in the early 2000s.

When your girlfriend contacts your second ex-wife, and asks her if you beat the shit out of her the same as you are doing to the girlfriend, then, you may be a real piece of shit.
