Colorado police reportedly arrived after Jayson Boebert called and claimed he was ‘victim of domestic violence’ and punched in face
Rightwing US congresswoman Lauren Boebert is denying allegations that she punched her ex-husband in the face in public after police in Colorado were reportedly called out to an encounter involving the pair Saturday night at a restaurant.
The incident was first reported by the Daily Beast. The news site said that Jayson Boebert called police claiming that he was a “victim of domestic violence”. In an interview with the Daily Beast, Jayson Boebert alleged that the congresswoman had “punched” him in the face several times. He claimed to have a witness to the events.
“I didn’t punch Jayson in the face and no one was arrested,” Boebert said in a statement provided to reporter Kyle Clark of television station KUSA. Calling Saturday night’s events “a sad situation for all that keeps escalating”, she added: “I will be consulting with my lawyer about the false claims he made against me and evaluate all of my legal options.”
Many (if not most) women have historically kept their married name after a divorce. Sometimes it depends on how long they lived with that married name, and whether or not they already have significant career milestones, professional accomplishments or public awareness attached to their married name.
Extremely common if they have children with the same last name, as well.
Kinda strange isn’t it? You’d think that if you divorce a guy, the last thing you want is keep his name.
It can also be a bit of a pain to get it changed back even if you do wanna do it but in her case it makes sense since she’s a public persona.
Name recognition will be big for her at election time. She’s not going to give that up.
