A Florida judge issued a restraining order Tuesday against Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida for "protection against dating violence" after his ex-girlfriend accused him of threatening and harassing her. In a petition filed in August, Lindsey Langston alleged that after they broke up, Mills threatened to blackmail her using nude images and videos and to physically harm anyone she dated.

“Cory continued to message me on Instagram accounts I run after blocking him and asking him to not contact me. The messages progressively got more threatening over time,” wrote Langston, a Republican state committeewoman and Miss United States 2024.

Tuesday's restraining order, issued by state Circuit Judge Fred Koberlein Jr. in Columbia County, prohibits Mills from acts of violence against Langston and bars him from contacting her until Jan. 1. Mills cannot “directly refer to Petitioner on social media, including but not limited to, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, or any other social media platform,” the order says.

Langston's attorney, Bobi Frank, declined to comment. Mills' congressional office and his lawyer did not immediately reply to requests for comment.
