“F*** You”: Boebert Fires Back at Fox Reporter Over Alleged Affair With Thomas Massie

Rep. Lauren Boebert responded angrily on camera when a Fox News reporter asked about published claims that she had a brief relationship with Rep. Thomas Massie after the death of his wife.

What Was Reported

The allegation comes from Cynthia West, who says Massie told her in the summer of 2024 that he had an intimate encounter with Boebert days after his wife Rhonda died. West says she later began dating Massie. To date, neither Boebert nor Massie has publicly confirmed or denied the account.

Boebert's On-Camera Response

“F— you, first of all. If you’re gonna bring me into this, like, this sexist stuff is like out of control. So there’s your clickbait that you were looking for. I don’t want to talk about anybody’s exes and their crazy s— that they do.”

Boеbert’s blunt reply drew immediate attention on social media, where users noted she did not offer an explicit denial of the allegation while others defended her reaction as a rebuke of what they called invasive, sexist reporting.

Follow-Up On Social Platforms

On X (formerly Twitter), Boebert described the report as another in a string of “false attacks” on her reputation since joining Congress. She referenced prior false claims she said were debunked and criticized the outlet behind the recent story. In a separate post, she also took aim at Fox News over its approach to gender pronouns.

Public Reaction And Context

Reactions were mixed. Some commenters accused reporters of spreading tabloid-style rumors without evidence, while others flagged Boebert’s lack of a direct denial. The episode has also been read in the context of growing tensions within the GOP following Massie’s recent primary loss.

Note: The allegation remains unverified by the parties involved. Responsible reporting should seek confirmation and corroboration before presenting personal allegations as fact.
