Republican firebrand Lauren Boebert found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons when she was caught on camera causing a ruckus at a Denver theater during a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice.”
Boebert, accompanied by her date, Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher, was asked to leave the theater by ushers due to a series of disruptive behaviors.
Vaping, Photography, and Singing Loudly
The congresswoman’s night at the theater took an unpleasant turn when ushers noticed her vaping and taking photos with her phone during the performance.
She further irked fellow theatergoers by singing along loudly, leading to her eviction from the show at Denver’s Buell Theatre.
A Theatrical Exit and a Disdainful Gesture
Surveillance footage captured Boebert’s dramatic exit.
Wearing a striking low-cut gold dress and high heels, she left the auditorium, taking a selfie on her way out and giving ushers the middle finger.
According to reports, Boebert at one point asked, “Do you know who I am?”
An incident report revealed that she and Gallagher had received a warning about their behavior during intermission.
When their disruptive behavior persisted, theater security was called.
A Surprising Romance Revealed
In a surprising twist, it was later revealed that Boebert and Gallagher, who is 46 and a divorced father of a 16-year-old son, had been secretly dating for several months.
Their newfound romance has raised eyebrows, particularly since Gallagher’s political inclinations are believed to differ from Boebert’s.
Boebert is currently undergoing a divorce from her husband of 18 years, Jason Boebert, with whom she shares four children.
Different Worlds Collide
Gallagher and Boebert hail from different backgrounds.
Gallagher owns Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar near Aspen, which he co-owns with partner Pat Flannigan.
Boebert’s previous venture, Shooter’s Grill in Rifle, Colorado, was known for its armed waitstaff and closed in 2022.
The bar owner’s ex-wife, Aleece Alexander, and their son had moved back to Colorado from Seattle following their divorce.
Controversy and Politics
Lauren Boebert is no stranger to controversy, having faced several firearms-related issues with Capitol Police in Washington, DC.
Additionally, her soon-to-be-ex-husband reportedly threatened neighbors last summer.
Boebert, who recently became a grandmother, was herself a teen mother and dropped out of high school during her senior year in 2004 when she became pregnant with her oldest son, Tyler.
Commentary
