Molly Hagerty’s Al Gore allegations are hitting newsstands this week. Yet Molly Hagerty (photo below) explains an alleged encounter with Al Gore not from this year but 2006. Why is this 54 year old masseuse’s identity and her allegations about a Grand Marnier-loving $540-paying massage client being revealed four years later?

Hagerty is from Oregon. She initially was described the National Enquirer as “a gorgeous massage therapist”. She said Al Gore grabbed her, was a giggling “crazed …. poodle” who uses “come hither” looks. Three years later, in January 2009, she gave a taped interview to local law enforcement, her name redacted.

The alleged event was at the Hotel Lucia in October 2006, claims Hagerty. The police case was dropped because she reportedly refused to “cooperate with the investigation or even report a crime.”

She described Gore as having a “violent temper as well as extremely dictatorial commanding attitude besides his Mr. Smiley Global Warming concern persona.” The picture on the Enquirer features her holding the “stains on the front of my black slacks.” “I carefully hung them up and decided to be sure not to launder them until I knew more what to do with what had happened. Just my intuition.”

Weeks ago, the Enquirer ran “We have verified the 62-year-old former VP was in Portland at the time of the alleged incident – Oct. 24, 2006 – and we saw the $540 massage bill.”

Hagerty has previously said “... I was not interested in making any money from this case…. I did not want to be labeled a gold digger like the women in this situation are often labeled.”
