GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert Denies Punching Ex-Husband In The Face As Police Investigate Incident

Controversial right-wing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) has denied allegations that she was in a physical altercation with her ex-husband and punched him in the face.

Law enforcement is investigating the incident between Lauren and Jayson Boebert that took place at a restaurant in Silt, Colorado, on Sunday morning.

Police confirmed that Jayson reported a fight and that they are investigating the matter. No one was arrested in the incident. According to reports, Jayson asked to meet at a restaurant to meet and apologize to his ex-wife about a previous confrontation.  

Details about the incident were posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Boebert has since responded to the allegations, denying them wholeheartedly. “I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options,” Boebert said. 

Jayson has since commented on the incident, saying that he made a mistake and that both of them overreacted.

Lauren and Jayson Boebert met when she was 16 and he was 22 and got married in 2005. They have four sons and one grandson together. The two divorced last year due to “irreconcilable differences.”

Boebert has been dogged by controversies since she joined Congress in 2021. Last year, she was caught vaping in a Denver theater and lied about the incident until video footage was uncovered.

The congresswoman recently announced that she would run for reelection in a more conservative district after winning her last term by just 600 votes. She blamed celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Barbra Streisand for trying to run her out of Congress.
