MAGA Star Lauren Boebert, 39, Addresses Explosive Lesbian Sex Claims

Bill Clark / CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Imag Lauren Boebert has long cast herself as a “ family values ” crusader.

Now, she’s facing a sworn complaint accusing the Trump-endorsed Colorado congresswoman of having inappropriate sexual relationships with three staffers and paying one of them $200,000 to keep quiet.

Boebert says the allegations are “utterly false.” The complaint, filed Thursday, Sept.

17, accused Boebert of inappropriate sexual relationships with three separate staffers and of paying one of them $200,000 to keep quiet about it.

The allegations have not been independently substantiated.

A spokesperson for Boebert said the allegations were “utterly false” and there was “no truth to them whatsoever.” “This is nothing more than a politically motivated stunt designed to manipulate the ethics process, create headlines, smear her, and generate clickbait,” they said.

“They come from an activist who has long recycled sensational claims, including numerous baseless accusations previously fact-checked as false.” The strongly worded denial comes after Boebert broke her silence in an interview published Saturday with Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke.

Boebert categorically denied the claims.

“Well, I’m not a lesbian or bisexual, and I have never, ever been in any inappropriate relationship, nor have I ever been sexually involved with any staff,” Boebert told Brufke, a former Daily Beast reporter.

The complaint , filed by American Muckrakers’ David B.

Wheeler, was published by Wheeler on Friday.

In it, he details the allegations against Boebert.

The three staffers named in the complaint are Clarice Navarro, Boebert’s district director from January 2021 to January 2025; Jeffrey Small, Boebert’s chief of staff from 2021 to 2025; and Raven Finegan, Boebert’s current district chief of staff.

Under rules adopted by the House during the #MeToo reckoning, members cannot have sexual relationships with anyone they supervise, regardless of consent.
