The teenage son of disgraced Louisiana mayor Misty Roberts was overheard screaming that his mom “effed” his “best friend,” after the drunken pool party where she allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old boy, according to reports.
Jill Weaver, the best friend and former sister-in-law of ex-DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts, told jurors she overheard the tense exchange between Roberts and her son after she was asked to come to the boozy party around 8 p.m. on July 20, 2024, according to the Lake Charles American Press.
“He was saying [Roberts] effed his best friend,” Weaver recalled at the Beauregard Parish County trial of the fight between the mom and her son, the outlet said.
Roberts was the most drunk she’d ever seen her, according to KPLC.
The former mayor’s bestie left the party around 11 p.m. and was asked to return by her own son around 2 a.m. after Roberts accused him of taking a video of her allegedly sexually assaulting a drunk teen at the party.
“Oh great, you called your mom,” Weaver recounted Roberts saying at her second arrival at the bacchanal, the outlet reported.
Then the teenagers showed their phones to the two adults to prove they didn’t have videos of the incident, Weaver testified.
Weaver would eventually text her own son to “lie till you die” about that chaotic night and admitted she spoke to Roberts about how to keep the kids from reporting the alleged assault they witnessed to authorities.
Roberts even became so emotional that she threatened to harm herself, Weaver testified while holding back tears, according to the Lake Charles American Press.
The jury saw an interview of the son telling investigators he saw his mom hooking up with his pal through a crack in the window.
The small-town mayor’s daughter also testified she saw Roberts and the 16-year-old “on top of each other.”
Roberts resigned as mayor of DeRidder, a town of 9,800, days before her 2024 arrest.
Roberts now faces two charges of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile, according to reports. She’s pleaded not guilty.
