Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) issued an apology for vaping and displaying disruptive behavior during a Beetlejuice production, according to a statement her campaign team released Friday evening.

Boebert apologized for her behavior and expressed regret for not telling the truth about whether she had vaped during the production, which later led to her removal from the crowd by theater staff. The apology comes just days after it was reported the Colorado Republican had been removed from the theater for “vaping, singing, [and] causing a disturbance” to other patrons, according to a city incident report.

“The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry,” Boebert said in a statement. “While none of my actions or words as a private citizen that night were intended to be malicious or meant to cause harm, the reality is they did and I regret that.”

Boebert initially disputed reports that she had been vaping at the show, and her campaign team denied the accusations by saying there were heavy fog machines and electronic cigarettes being used by other attendees that may have led to a misunderstanding.

However, surveillance footage was released just days later that showed the congresswoman vaping as well as groping an unidentified male who attended the production with her. The male was also seen groping Boebert while they watched the musical.

“Whether it was the excitement of seeing a much-anticipated production or the natural anxiety of being in a new environment, I genuinely did not recall vaping that evening when I discussed the night’s events with my campaign team while confirming my enthusiasm for the musical,” Boebert said. “Regardless of my belief, it’s clear now that was not accurate; it was not my or my campaign’s intention to mislead, but we do understand the nature of how this looks. We know we will have to work to earn your trust back and it may not happen overnight, but we will do it.”

Boebert did not address the groping allegations in her apology.

The Colorado Republican cited her recent filing for divorce, indicating that stress may have led her to act in the way she did.

“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family,” Boebert said. “I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.”

The incident comes just months before Boebert is set to run for reelection in her rural district of Colorado where she nearly lost to Democrat Adam Frisch in last year’s midterm elections. Frisch is once again challenging Boebert for the seat in 2024, making the race one of the most competitive of the upcoming election cycle.
