The ex-fiancé of Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., filed a lawsuit this week claiming that she fabricated sexual assault allegations against him in a scheme she allegedly manufactured with a friend’s estranged wife, reports said.

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.

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.
