After his [former] Chief-of-Security was fired by the Governor, the ex Security Chief promptly filed a lawsuit against the Governor alleging defamation and unlawful termination. In his complaint, Mr. Lewis related an amusing account of a three-way "conversation" that allegedly occurred between Lewis, the Governor, and Spencer Collier. (Collier was Chief of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency until Governor Bentley fired him. Mr. Collier has also filed a lawsuit against the Governor.)
The three of them are in a state car on their way to a ceremonial appearance. Mr. Lewis is driving. Both Collier and Lewis are trying to persuade the Governor that he has to stop his affair with Rebekah Mason. The Governor is resisting. Collier and Lewis implore him warning that this affair could end up destroying his political career - not to mention his marriage. For his own sake, he must tell Rebekah that it's over.
Bentley is in tears. He keeps saying: "I can't! I love her! You guys don't understand ..." Collier and Lewis keep insisting that Bentley must bite the bullet and do the right thing - he must confront Rebekah Mason and tell her they're through - it's over. Finally, in total exasperation, Bentley turns to Spencer Collier and asks him: "Spencer, how did you stop your affair?"
