Is it true that Republican congresswomen Lauren Boebert was accused having sexual relationships with 3 staffers: 2 female and 1 male, and also paying one of them $200K as hush money?

Yes — that accurately describes the allegations, but not established facts.

A sworn filing submitted to the House Ethics Committee on September 17, 2026 alleges that Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado had sexual relationships with three current or former staffers — two women and one man — and that roughly $200,000 was paid to one of the women, Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, to discourage her from filing an ethics complaint. 

The three people named are Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, Raven Finegan, and Jeffrey Small. The filing was submitted by David Wheeler of American Muckrakers. 

But the second half is crucial: Boebert has categorically denied the allegations, calling them false and politically motivated, and Navarro Ratzlaff has also denied the claims involving her. The House Ethics Committee has not publicly established that the alleged relationships or $200,000 payment actually happened. 

So the clean fact-check is:

  • ✅ True: those accusations were made.
  • ✅ True: the filing alleges 2 female staffers + 1 male staffer.
  • ✅ True: it alleges a ~$200,000 hush-money payment.
  • ⚠️ Unproven: the underlying sexual relationships and payment themselves.
  • ⚠️ Disputed: Boebert and at least one named former staffer deny the allegations.

Verdict: 🟡 True as a description of the accusation; not proven as fact.

Fun fact:

On April 16, 2026, while speaking to reporters outside the U.S. Capitol about recent sexual-misconduct scandals involving members of Congress, Boebert said:

“Go to church. Find Jesus. Like, I mean, why is everybody so horny here?”
