State Rep. Fabian Basabe faces allegations of sexual harassment

Interestingly, one of the people accusing him is male.

DL outed this guy YEARS ago, back when he was supposedly "dating" one of the Bush twins

He got a lot of shit when he went to a Pride parade because he supported "Don't Say Gay" bullshit

Both of the people accusing him are male r1

Fag!

She's hideous

What's hysterical is that he is accusing of harassing a guy at a school event where kids were present

Does that make him a "groomer"

He was an escort for an agency called Chelsea Guys in the early aughts. Had no idea he was elected into office. Only in Florida!

Come on gay face for the ages......so obvious.

R7, really?

He’s still married to the La Perla lingerie heiress, I believe.

I hope he didn't say "gay" while hitting on those guys

Fabian is a fag?

R12, and I'm the dame who can prove it!

He was “dating” Barbara, R1

This reminds me of the early days of my and George’s courtship. She got those moves from me.

Fabian is a homosexual first name for a man.

Of course, a republication.

Don't say gay....unless you're blowing me

I'd do it.

Bar Bush is a BEARD

Those Fuad Ramses eyebrows though…

And now I have my Wayback Machine research project for the evening. Thanks!

Is he the second hooker to hold political office (after Lauren Boebert)?

Bad girl. Talkin' bout the sad girl.

R22, I tried looking for it earlier but couldn't find it. This would have been spring/summer 2000.

Old post about Fabian:

I wasn't a real sex worker (just a cheap whore- I gave a few lackluster blowjobs for 20 bucks or something in my early twenties as a kink) but I was a phone dispatcher for a gay escort agency in 2000. Elton John and David Furnish were clients. David always called, never Elton. They wanted white tops and tipped well. E. Lynn Harris was reportedly a client but I never worked with him. Fabian Basabe was one of the escorts. He was a spoiled douche but hot as fuck.

Who the hell voted for this guy, he has more red flags than Moscow:

The Miami New Times reported Basabe's run-in with U.S. Marshals in August 2020, when "armed agents surrounded him on his boat in a marina near Charleston, South Carolina." According to the report, "agents were acting on an outstanding warrant after Basabe allegedly failed to address a criminal charge arising from a Miami Beach incident in which he grabbed a neighbor's phone." Basabe was extradited from South Carolina to Florida to face arrest and charges

State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle asked Governor DeSantis to reassign Basabe's case to a different jurisdiction after Basabe repeatedly tried to personally influence the prosecutor.

In 2016, Basabe, then in his late 30s, was hit with a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in Miami Beach after he climbed on the roof of a car and yelled at pedestrians as the vehicle traveled down Washington Avenue

Is this one of the victims?

This shit is gay as hell. Let’s get to thread 2!

Fabian is a bottom!

If he told them he's a bottom then why would he want "all of that ass"?

Bottoms want "all of that dick".

A hot ass is a hot ass

Protesters called him out for supporting anti-gay legislation

I remember when he was a famous-for-being-famous reality show star

People voted for this chud?

Have you ever had AN EGYPTIAN FEAST?

Sexual predator promotes QAnon movie

R35, lol

So this is a rich kid from Miami who (according to DL report) worked as a gay escort in his early 20s, then became some kind of a low-tier reality-show celebrity and "dated" Barbara Bush Jr for a time, then ultimately married an heiress and became a rightwing legislator who supports anti-gay legislation—but his male staff members are accusing him of coming on to them?

Sorry, never heard of him before; I'm just catching up.

Yeah that's the gist of it R38. And apparently not as wealthy as he made himself out to be

Oh man, his blog from the late aughts/early teens is gold.

Okay, I'll emend my summary to "So this is a purportedly rich kid from Miami (who went to private schools despite his father's perpetual bankruptcy) ..."

So a remnant of the Paris Hilton era has washed up in the post-Trump era as a handsy, scammy Republican hypocrite: no big surprise.

R38, yep!

For some reason, people decided to vote for this guy. But it's Florida, so....

Supposedly, Fabian and his "wife" don't even live together

The wife is the La Perla heiress in the same way that they called Lauren Santo Domingo (nee Davis) the Poland Spring heiress. Just because your dad is the CEO doesn't mean that you inherit anything.

Probably only married her because he thought she had money

Did Republicans in the Florida House try to cover up his abuse?

Wanted to bottom for his interns:

I wanted to bottom for interns, too!

"I know Fabian Basabe from gay bars in NYC..."

Me-OW! From New York City Councilman Erik Bottcher:

[quote]I knew Fabian Basabe from gay bars in NYC in the early 2000s and am rather shocked to learn he’s a ‘straight’ married Republican lawmaker in Florida who voted for the Don’t Say Gay bills.

Wasn't this the guy who Cindy Adams once referred to as being "a little light in the loafers" in her column? Or am I confusing him with someone else?

At least he was cute back then, he didn't age that well. His face looks the result of too much alcohol over the years.

R53,I wouldn't be surprised if she did say that

I just followed Erik Bottcher

“I want all that but” 🤣🤣🤣

I like intern butts and I cannot lie

He looks really weird

He IS really weird

Total FMD

Chile, this is a scandal! I’m surprised the datalounge isn’t paying more attention to this.

Basabe's on twitter, going on and on about LGBT people "coming after our kids"

He's also promoting The Sound of Freedom (did he blow Jim Caviezel?)

Hate this guy

GOP Florida Rep Accused of Sexual Harassment Allegedly Bit, Berated People

Gayer than me

[quote]The second staff member, Jacob Cutbirth, worked as an unpaid intern in Basabe's office and claims Basabe told him he was required to flirt with the state representative whenever he was at the Capitol. The 24-year-old also claims Basabe counseled him to break off his engagement to his girlfriend and "explore his sexuality by having sex with men."

I think these are perfectly reasonable requests.

Oh shit a biter. Well being a repub pol, gotta be a sociopath too.

He should just shave the eyebrows and draw them on. It's time old man.

He is continuing to vote for anti-gay shit

New article out. His wife is obviously a Stepford beard

Bazinga!

Dear Fabian.

Newark, 2017.

Pervert gayface

R69 Jeeze… that NYMag article is the puffiest puff piece that ever puffed.

Is CBS Miami's core audience the retired community of Florida? The anchors look old enough to be interns to Walter Cronkite. The reporter on the story is Jabba the Hut. Doesn't the station have anyone under 65 working for them?

And as for Basabe...my God, who's he kidding that he's straight?

And his eyebrows could give the Golden Arches a run for the money!

R73 It was clearly written and edited by someone deep in his favor. He must have indebted friends at New York magazine.

Finally. We get to go back to old-fashioned sex scandals instead of trying to overthrow the government.
