Miss United States Files Restraining Order Against GOP Rep. Cory Mills

Lindsey Langston, the 2024 Miss United States and a Florida Republican state committeewoman, has filed a restraining order against Republican Representative Cory Mills, accusing him of threatening to release explicit videos and images of her after their breakup. The threats reportedly included warnings to harm any men she might date in the future and attempts to undermine her beauty pageant title and professional reputation. Langston provided law enforcement with digital evidence, including text messages where Mills allegedly warned of violence and threatened to leak private footage. The relationship began in 2021 and ended in February 2025 after Langston discovered Mills had another girlfriend and was still legally married. Mills denies the allegations and claims he has not been formally notified of any police actions. This case follows prior accusations against Mills, including an alleged assault in Washington, D.C., which was later recanted, and ongoing scrutiny about his personal and financial conduct.
