Overview
- Patrick Bryant filed the lawsuit on Thursday alleging Mace and Melissa Britton concocted a false assault narrative and manipulated an ex-employee identified as Jane Doe.
- Bryant claims Mace hacked his phone, accessed images, and placed a tracker on his car during their 2023 breakup to build leverage.
- He seeks damages for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, asserting no video of any assault exists.
- Mace denies the allegations, points to an Oct. 29 court order sanctioning Bryant’s company and lawyer over improper discovery, and says she will move to dismiss with counterclaims.
- SLED previously reviewed the men Mace named in her February speech without filing charges, and the separate Doe civil suit filed in May remains active in state court.
