Ex-wrestler proves he's not Lauren Boebert's dad after decades of hounding from her mom
https://www.rawstory.com/lauren-boebert-paternity/
A retired pro wrestler has passed a paternity test proving hes not the father of Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) after decades of having been accused that he was by her mother, the Daily Beast reported Saturday.
Boebert confirmed to the Daily Beast that she and a man who wrestled as Stan Lane both took DNA tests in the past month that confirmed he was not her father. Lane, whose real name is Wallace Stanfield Lane, had been the subject of a paternity suit and public accusations by her mother Shawn Roberts Bentz dating back to the mid-1980s.
For Lane, the finding marks the end of a long ordeal during which Bentz, with whom he admits having a brief affair, sued him for child support and continued to accuse him after Boebert was elected to Congress.
Boebert said they all agreed the results are bona fide: It was kind of like ya, this is it, ok! she said. He has been wrongfully attacked, and he doesnt deserve that.

She's doing a lot of destructive and self-destructive things.
She's going through a divorce and might be having an affair.
She's gone full MAGA and is the wild branch of that lunacy.
She has a totally fucked up family.
She's at odds with her neighbors.
She managed to alienate her once besty MTG.
She just wants to disrupt things.
She missed the budget vote she was so set on casting.
These are all indicators that something is brewing in that low-rent dome of hers.
Now, the person who she hoped was her father turned out not to be.
She's in a mental crisis now.

(19,156 posts)I'm puzzled by most of this thread. Sure, Boebert is a horrible person in her politics and behavior, but her parentage surely isn't her own fault, or anything to pick on her about. There is plenty of stuff about her that deserves our derision, but this ain't it. Right? (what am I missing?)

(55,334 posts)England nearly lost out on its best monarch when Henry VIII tried to get his bastard son (also a Henry) recognized as a legit heir. Fortunately Mr Eight died before the process could finish and a few domino clicks later Liz the First got to sit on the throne.
ExWhoDoesntCare
(4,741 posts)Henry VIII's illegitimate son, the Duke of Richmond, died in 1536, long before his father did (1547). Parliament floated a bill to make Richmond the legitimate heir not long after Elizabeth's birth, but it never got far because Henry believed he would produce a male heir with his new wife.
The only thing that resembled chaos about that illegitimate son and the throne was when Henry knew that Richmond was dying of tuberculosis, and it became apparent that Anne Boleyn, like Catherine of Aragon, wouldn't produce a male heir. That's when Henry came up with offing Anne and marrying someone else.
Henry was courting Jane Seymour and married her before the Duke of Richmond even died. Only 15 months after his then-only son's death, Jane Seymour gave birth to the king's only legitimate male heir.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_LaneMy wife met Ric Flair once. He wanted to buy a ring. His credit was not good so he walked out to his car, opened the trunk, grabbed some stacks of bills and paid cash. Thats how they lived especially back then. Town to town. Paid in cash. Out to the bar.

I wonder why Mom was so sure it was him. She obviously slept with more than one man during the month she got pregnant, but for some reason, she decided to fixate on the wrong one. Oh well, just idle curiocsity on my part, but I'll bet there's a story in there somewhere.
Maybe this is good news for the congresswoman in a way. Now she no longer has to wonder why her putative father didn't want to be part of her life. Her actual father was probably a one night stand who slipped back into the night from whence he came with ever knowing he impregnated someone.

My problem with Boebert has nothing to do with her parentage or her piss poor parenting of her own kids that resulted in a son who either knew nothing about preventing pregnancy or just didn't give a shit about his partner. My problem with Boebert is her profound ignorance that has allowed her to be manipulated by a bunch of right wing think tank "handlers."
My problem is that she is gun obsessed, ignorant, and too dimwitted to know how ignorant she is. The combination is not reparable. I hope her narrow victory in 2022 is not repeated. CO deserves better.

I imagine the lawsuit for child support will be a doozy since her family is sensible enough not to want wedding bells to ring for them.
I don't credit her with enough brains to be a hypocrite. I think she actually bought that born again nonsense that says she can lie, cheat, steal, and kill as long as she invokes Jebus's name when she does it.
