Lindsey Langston, the reigning Miss United States and a Florida Republican state committeewoman, has filed a restraining order against GOP Representative Cory Mills amid allegations of harassment and threats. Langston reported that after their romantic relationship ended in February 2025, Mills repeatedly contacted her across multiple accounts, threatening to release nude images and videos of them, including recordings of sexual acts. The allegations also include threats to harm any future boyfriends of Langston, creating fear for her personal safety and well-being. The police report she filed with the Columbia County Sheriff's Department included timestamped digital evidence supporting these claims, which have been escalated to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for further investigation.

The relationship between Langston and Mills began in November 2021, with Langston moving into Mills’ rented Florida residence in the summer of 2024. The relationship dissolved after Langston discovered through news reports that Mills had a second girlfriend, who had previously accused Mills of assault in Washington, D.C.—an accusation later retracted by the woman involved. Despite the breakup, Mills allegedly continued to harass Langston, making emotional threats and intimidating moves, including warnings that he would harm whomever she dated in the future. Some messages obtained reveal explicit threats such as, “Strap up, cowboy,” and warnings to her potential partners about consequences if they crossed paths with Mills.

Mills has denied the allegations, stating that he is unaware of any police report or charges, and describes the accusations as false and politically motivated. His general counsel also contacted Langston, warning her about the legality of sharing her communications with the media without consent. Politically, Mills is known as a MAGA Republican and a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. His recent political ambitions include running for a Senate seat and speculation around a Secretary of Defense nomination. Despite his controversial personal allegations, Mills voted for the “Take It Down Act,” which criminalizes the coercive publication of intimate material, the very behavior he is accused of.

The situation has intensified public scrutiny on Mills, who faces multiple ongoing investigations related to ethics, finances, and personal conduct. Langston’s police report highlights months of harassment, including threats of violence to protect his reputation and influence. This case follows a tumultuous beginning to Mills’ second congressional term, marked by his previous girlfriend’s assault allegations—later dismissed—and his legal troubles with unpaid debts and eviction. Langston has voiced concern that, due to Mills' public profile, the investigation could be hindered, leaving her vulnerable. Through her legal actions, Langston aims to not only seek protection but also spotlight a broader issue of abuse and intimidation faced by victims associated with powerful figures.
