The ex-fiance of U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is now claiming that the congresswoman fabricated the rape claim that she has made against him. 

The New York Post reports that businessman Patrick Bryant, Mace's ex-fiance, has made this claim in court, filing a lawsuit against the congresswoman.

As we will see, Mace has responded with a flurry of social media message in which she attempts to defend herself.

The latest

Fox News puts the situation into context.

Per thet oulet:

The lawsuit filed by Patrick Bryant on Thursday claims allegations made against him in a May lawsuit from a "Jane Doe" were false, according to WCSC. The outlet reported that the original lawsuit claimed Doe was assaulted in 2018 at the home of Eric Bowman by another man and that he and Bryant filmed it — an alleged incident that Mace referenced during a speech on the House floor in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.

Fox goes on to provide some details about the lawsuit that Bryant has now filed.

It reports:

In the new lawsuit, Bryant alleges he is the only victim and that Mace worked with Bowman’s estranged wife to make up the assault that involved Doe, who previously worked for Bryant, WCSC reported. Bryant further claimed that Doe filed the May lawsuit based on Mace’s false allegations, noting that the Republican lawmaker thought Bryant was cheating during their relationship and attempted to hack his phone, according to WCSC. The two split in November 2023. Bryant is alleging that Mace and the estranged wife of Bowman — who is a mutual acquaintance of the pair — worked to convince the Jane Doe that they found a video of her being "gang raped" on Bryant’s phone, the New York Post reported.

It is a messy situation to say the least.

Mace responds

On Friday morning, Mace took to social media to defend herself against these claims by Bryant. She did so with five consecutive messages.

In one, she wrote:

What kind of guy sues his own rape victim and sues women he filmed without their knowledge, permission or consent for YEARS? Who does that? Can't wait for a court hearing on this!!! Put me in coach - I'm ready to testify, under oath - this guy should be rotting in a jail cell - not suing his victims!!! HOLD THE LINE

In another, she claimed that she is going to provide evidence to substantiate her claim.

She wrote:

I will release evidence on Monday proving predator and alleged rapist Patrick Bryant from my floor speech is once again lying to the court in his frivolous complaint. I just got him sanctioned last week for weaponizing the court against me and rape victim Jane Doe. I plan on doing it again in this case after we move to dismiss. It’s disgusting that a man who abused women for years would sue his victims. Gross. Offensive. Very strange behavior. And I worry about the women who have come forward and their safety. Who in their right mind does that?

If Mace does indeed have solid evidence, then one would think that she would have no problems in court. Time will tell.
