Aspiring GOP lawmaker Marisa Simonetti refuses to deny she is an escort and says job helped her earn lots of cash, as she’s accused of hurling tarantula at woman

An aspiring Republican lawmaker from Minnesota is accused of throwing a tarantula at her roommate. However, she does not deny that she is an escort.

Hennepin County Board candidate Marisa Simonetti, 30, was arrested earlier this month after allegedly throwing a tarantula and other objects at a woman renting a room in the building where she lives.

After her arrest, the Star stand reported that Simonetti once worked as an escort, which she did not deny.

In a statement, Simonetti said: “I have done nothing wrong or anything to be ashamed of. If you’re a woman, with a baby and no money, living with domestic violence, you can’t “just leave.”

“I made a plan to protect my son and I executed it, and now I have significant wealth. I refuse to accept any narrative that shames or blames women for the autonomy they exercise over their own bodies.”

Simonetti also told the Star Tribune, “It’s a lot better than swiping endlessly on Tinder and wasting my time with guys who just want to have a good time.”

The Republican did admit that she had an OnlyFans account.

Local Republicans have distanced themselves from the candidate, saying she “does not reflect our values” and “has only served to embarrass the Republican Party.”

Simonetti, 30, who campaigned for “Rebuilding Safety Through Family Values” in this year’s election, was charged with fifth-degree assault and domestic violence after the incident with her roommate.

According to reports, the aspiring congresswoman was also charged with credit card fraud against her former lover last year.

Simonetti claimed in an interview with Fox 9 that she rented her basement to local attorney Jackie Vasquez, who needed to study for the California bar exam, but the arrangement fell apart less than three weeks later.

Vasquez recorded Simonetti performing Christian music and banging pots and pans before throwing a tarantula down the stairs.

It is unclear how Simonetti rented the room, as she is not the owner of the property.

Simonetti told Fox that she asked Vasquez to leave because she had too many complaints, but Vazquez refused.

The politician alleged that Vasquez was “squatting” at the property, but the victim insists she paid $1,500 through AirBnb to stay there.

Simonetti added that she was inspired by the movie Home Alone.

“And at the end of the day, she was thrown out of the house, out of control,” Simonetti said.

The aspiring lawmaker’s campaign page describes her as the only conservative candidate in the race who hopes to restore security through family values.

To highlight her campaign message and gain support, Simonetti once posted a video on

But despite employing classic GOP election strategies, she has already lost the May 14 midterm election for the vacant District 6 seat on the county board to State Rep. Heather Edelson.

She campaigned to become one of seven Hennepin County Board commissioners tasked with approving budgets for both the attorney general and sheriff’s offices.

Despite the loss, Simonetti has previously indicated that she will face Edelson again in the upcoming elections in November.

The conservative candidate was previously accused of making transactions using the victim’s financial cards and accounts totaling $75,000 and $8,876.

The charges were eventually dropped after the victim refused to cooperate with prosecutors.
