Eric Swalwell's wife, Brittany Watts, has made her first move amid the sexual assault scandal surrounding her husband, California governor candidate Eric Swalwell. The allegations, which include sexual assault and rape, have been denied by Swalwell, who has lost support from his own party members.
According to reports, a woman who worked for Swalwell in 2019 accused him of sexual assault, claiming she was too intoxicated to consent to sex. Another woman told CNN that Swalwell sent her unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos, while a social media creator said he kissed her and touched her leg without her consent.
Swalwell has denied all allegations, suggesting they are part of an attack due to his campaign's momentum. However, prominent Democrats, including Adam Schiff and Jimmy Gomez, have called for him to end his gubernatorial bid.
Brittany Watts has not issued a public statement, but it appears she has deleted her social media accounts. The move comes as powerful labor unions and Democratic leaders have suspended their support for Swalwell.
