Oklahoma Democratic House candidate abbybroyles has ended her campaign after drawing national attention for blacking out at a sleepover for middle-school-aged girls, verbally berating them, and vomiting into a clothes hamper.
Broyles, a 32-year-old attorney and a former television news anchor, admitted to the behavior last month after parents discussed the Valentine's Day weekend episode. Broyles said in a statement Thursday she was receiving treatment for anxiety and alcohol dependency after she attempted to take her life by taking sleeping pills and drinking alcohol in the wake of the embarrassment she faced following the sleepover incident.
— Abby Broyles March 24, 2022 Thirteen days after the local news outlet NonDoc broke the story about Broyles on Feb. 17, she said,"I drank heavily in my hotel room, more than 1,300 miles away in an effort to hide and took sleeping pills, anguishing in pain reading about myself on social media and in tabloid articles," according to a Medium blog post.
The candidate initially sought to dismiss the allegations after multiple news outlets picked up the story, though she later returned to her former place of employment, local NBC affiliate KFOR, to explain her side of the story.
