FL Paper: Gay GOP Rep Has History Of Racism, Violence

July 19, 2023 Homocons, Republicans

The Miami Herald reports:

Fabian Basabe had a bone to pick. At an event at the Standard Spa in Miami Beach, he had been seated next to people unfamiliar to him — prompting the former reality TV star and socialite who would later become a Republican state representative to send a scathing email to hotel employees. “Please don’t ever sit me next to people I don’t know again!” Basabe said in the email, which was reviewed by the Miami Herald.

“You must understand I do not expect to entertain randoms! … I will keep this to myself right now but do not disrespect me again!” In response, one of the employees reminded Basabe of what he says took place that night: Basabe bit him, he claimed, saying he had a “massive bloody welt and bruise” on his shoulder.

The incident at the Standard, which took place in 2016, is emblematic of alleged bad behavior by Basabe spanning nearly two decades — a history that has come under fresh scrutiny as the first-year lawmaker faces a lawsuit by two staffers who claim he sexually harassed them.

Read the full article. There’s SO much more. No paywall.

Last week it was reported that Basabe pressured two straight male staffers to let him “bottom’ for them. My first report on the separate sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the two staffers is here.

Basabe first appeared here in May 2023 when he was heckled at Miami Beach Pride for voting for the “Don’t Say Gay” bill despite campaigning as an openly gay man and supporter of LGBTQ rights. Basabe hired a marching band to follow him in the parade.

According to the Miami New Times, Basabe has in fact been married to a clothing heiress since 2005. Fashioning himself of a nightlife high roller, also in 2005 he appeared in the short-lived reality series Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive alongside Kourtney Kardashian.

That same year the New York Post reported that he was ejected from a Hamptons nightclub after allegedly hurling the N-word at black bouncers. The “controversies” section of his Wikipedia entry is really something and includes multiple arrests on a range of charges.
