Lauren Boebert Visits Botox Clinic Hours Before Denying Staffer Allegations
The Colorado congresswoman was photographed at a medical spa on Sunday, the same day she released a video statement refuting claims of sexual relationships with staffers.
U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert visited a medical spa specializing in Botox injections and ran other errands on Sunday, hours before issuing a strong denial of allegations that she engaged in sexual relationships with multiple staffers. Exclusive photographs showed the 39-year-old lawmaker at Che Bella Injectables and Aesthetics in Windsor, Colorado.
Before her two-hour clinic visit, Boebert was seen filling her car with gas and purchasing cigarettes. Shortly after leaving the clinic, she released a video statement from her home, calling the accusations "politically motivated" and "filthy garbage."
The allegations surfaced late last week in a House Ethics Committee complaint filed by journalist David Wheeler. The complaint accuses Boebert of having sexual relationships with three current and former staff members and of paying $200,000 in hush money to one staffer.
Boebert's office vehemently denied the claims, calling them "utterly false" and "a politically motivated stunt designed to manipulate the ethics process." A spokesperson stated that the complaint was filed by an activist with a history of "baseless accusations" and that it had not yet been certified by the House Ethics Committee.
Wheeler, however, stood by his story, stating that Boebert "clearly has a problem telling the truth and taking responsibility for her actions." He added, "We stand 100 percent by our story and sources... my job is to expose Lauren Boebert for the fraud she is with facts."
Boebert, who has previously advocated for holding lawmakers accountable for sexual misconduct, vowed in her video statement to continue serving Colorado's fourth district. "I hate to spoil the fan fiction, but y'all need to do better," she said, addressing media outlets.
This is not the first controversy for Boebert. In the past year, she was involved in an incident at a musical production and her son pleaded guilty to child abuse charges.
