Rep. Thomas Massie allegedly indirectly offered former staffer $60,000 in hush money for an NDA over s*xual assault allegations
The representative from Kentucky is being accused of pressuring a woman he dated into s*xual acts, firing her from a congressional staff job he helped her land, and offering her $5,000 cash.
Plus, the office of Victoria Spartz allegedly offered a $60,000 settlement with an NDA attached to stay quiet and drop an ethics complaint.
Cynthia West, a Florida mom of four dropped the allegations about a week before Massie’s Republican primary against Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein.
According to West Massie threatened her at a Cracker Barrell in Kentucky.
To make things worse, West said she was fired because she spoke up when Victoria Spartz hired a NON CITIZEN as a district director position over Ukraine.
Spartz’s office offered West the $60,000 settlement for her wrongful termination complaint, which included that NDA protecting Massie from the s*xual allegations going public.
West refused to sign.
The NDA and settlement were tied to Spartz’s office, but bigger picture involves protecting Massie because of their close alliance and his role in getting West the job.
This is the same Massie that has spent years blasting Congress for spending over $17 million in taxpayer hush money on s*xual misconduct settlements and demanding full transparency on those cases and the Epstein files.
Critics now call him a total hypocrite for allegedly doing the same thing himself.
Details:
West says Massie direct-messaged her on X in mid-August 2024, two months after his wife suddenly died, and started a romantic and s*xual relationship.
Massie helped West get hired as a congressional staffer for Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Indiana) so she could travel to D.C. and spend time with him.
West says Massie repeatedly pressured her into “deviant s*xual behavior” that left her “extremely uncomfortable.”
She says she refused. He then fired her via text message.
After she ended things, Massie allegedly offered her $5,000 in untraceable cash, which he called his “cow money” from livestock sales he doesn’t report.
He so allegedly pushed her to sign a $60,000 settlement with a nondisclosure agreement to drop the ethics complaint she filed in fall 2025.
West says she turned down the cash and the NDA, filed the formal ethics complaint anyway, and is now going public with texts and records she claims prove it all.
