The day after chairing the House Oversight Committee hearing on surveillance in private spaces, Rep. Nancy Mace appeared on Steven Crowder's conservative program "Louder with Crowder" on May 21, 2025. The episode, titled "Donald Trump, James Comey, and Naked Congresswomen? It's an Explosion of News", continued the media amplification of the allegations Mace had first made during her February 11, 2025 House floor speech.
According to NBC News, in that floor speech Mace named four men, including her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant, and accused them of what she described as rape, sex trafficking, and other serious crimes. These remain Mace's own allegations; they are contested and unproven, all of the named men deny wrongdoing, and related litigation (including Musgrave v. Mace) is pending. NBC News reported that the men categorically denied the allegations at the time, and the denials have remained consistent throughout subsequent proceedings.
All of Mace's allegations are contested and unproven. The named men deny wrongdoing. Related civil litigation, including Musgrave v. Mace, the federal defamation suit filed by Brian Musgrave following the floor speech, remains pending.

On the August 17, 2026 episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro devoted a segment to Rep. Nancy Mace's tattoo reveal, reacting to the Politico profile in which she said she got nine tattoos 'in rapid succession' for 'the pain that I need to feel.' Titled 'Nancy Mace Has Joined the Hells Angels,' the segment framed the tattoos, and her February 2025 House-floor speech, as, in Shapiro's words, a 'sign of a thing,' and closed with his opinion that she should 'get the care that she needs.' The allegations Mace made on the floor remain contested and unproven; the men she named deny wrongdoing, a gag order is in place, and related litigation is pending.

August 23, 2026 · DispatchMace Won't Talk About Brian Musgrave, and He Isn't Even Under the Gag Order
A year ago this week, a federal judge ended Brian Musgrave's defamation case against Rep. Nancy Mace, not because her 'predator' accusation was found true, but because the court held she was immune. Eighteen months after she named the Fort Mill businessman from the House floor, there is still no criminal charge, no evidence produced, no retraction, and SLED has told him he is not a target. Musgrave was never a party to the case Mace is gagged in, and his own case is closed, so nothing bars her from answering for the accusation. She simply does not.
