Florida Representative Alan Grayson’s ex-wife Lolita Grayson has come forward alleging her former husband subjected her to two decades of abuse, according to a bombshell report from Politico. Grayson is currently running in the Democratic primary for Marco Rubio’s Senate seat.
The Politico report contains documents obtained from Lolita Grayson, including four police reports she filed against her ex-husband — twice in Virginia and twice in Florida — over the last twenty years. In one police report, she alleges her husband hit her “daily,” and in another she says she is scared he is going to kill her.
Rep. Grayson, who is currently running in Florida’s Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, has adamantly denied the allegations. Their marriage ended in what Politico describes as a “bitter annulment” after it was revealed that Lolita Grayson had not divorced her previous husband before marrying Grayson.
“I want the people to know my story so they know what kind of man Alan Grayson really is,” Lolita Grayson told Politico. “I requested the medical records and police records so people could read what doctors and police officers wrote. I read many of these records for the first time. These are very painful memories and horrible experiences.”
Grayson responded through his lawyer, Mark NeJame, who told Politico, “Lolita is a disturbed woman. She has made one false allegation after another. Her own daughter refutes her.” Indeed, the Graysons’ oldest daughter, Skye Grayson, told Politico her father had done nothing wrong. “My mother has always struggled with emotional issues,” she said. “She physically lashed out at me, my siblings and our father, and then blamed us for it, victimizing us. This resulted in a considerably troubled childhood home.”
