A married Philadelphia lawmaker bombarded adult actresses with simpering comments online…but did not realize that everyone could see them.
Jimmy Harrity, a Democrat and sitting member of the Philadelphia City Council, sent messages to several racy social media profiles on the same Instagram Threads account he used for his political career.
Harrity reportedly only made the account private after being contacted by the Philadelphia Inquirer, by which time his comments had already circulated online.
The messages included some more modest interactions, such as a comment he left for chubbyygirlstacyy on a raunchy picture she posted in December, simply reading ‘Hello.’
Another user, eva.fax, posted an image in January of a woman in a bikini captioned, ‘Can I text u on Insta?’, to which Harrity responded: ‘Yes.’
Harrity claimed on Monday that he sent the comments because he thought they were constituents attempting to contact him about local issues.
‘I thought people were reaching out to me on it, and I was responding, ‘Hi,’ ‘Hello,’ because they kept saying they were trying to get a hold of me,’ Harrity said. ‘Then I realized it was some kind of scam thing — women just trying to get followers.’
However, the unlikely excuse fails to explain other comments Harrity left.

Harrity’s account left some more racy comments on other social media pictures that cast doubt on his claim that he thought he was responding to constituents.
This included a response to an image posted by eva.fax in March captioned, ‘Could you describe me in one word?’ to which Harrity responded: ‘Smoking.’
Around the same time, when naughtykatenasty posted an image of a woman’s rear end with the question, ‘Too big or perfect?’, Harrity responded: ‘Perfect.’
Harrity said he did not recall making the comments online but conceded that he must have done so, as he referenced his wife, Marnie.
‘I am a guy at some point, you know what I’m saying?’ he said.
‘I’m not responding to anybody. I’m married. I got no desire for another headache. … I apologize for the misconception.’
The account is the same one Harrity uses for his campaigning, including recently sharing an image of himself with Oscar-winning actor Will Smith in Philadelphia as he was honored with a street renaming.

Harrity has represented the Kensington at-large area on the Philadelphia City Council since 2022, and the Philadelphia Inquirer described him as ‘one of the council’s more colorful members’
Harrity has represented the Kensington at-large area on the Philadelphia City Council since 2022, and the Philadelphia Inquirer described him as ‘one of the council’s more colorful members.’
He has reportedly been open about his past brushes with the law and path to sobriety.
This extended to his reported social media activity, as in January user eva_kokoy shared an image of a woman in a bikini captioned: ‘I’m sure nobody cares, but I’ve been sober for 287 days.’
Harrity responded: ‘Keep coming back it works if you work it!’
