She approached him during the Middle Ages.
The former couple, both deeply involved in the Renaissance fair scene, are now facing off in federal court. The mayor alleges that his ex launched a deceptive online campaign that led to a loss of courage on his part.
After their brief five-month relationship ended, Jacqueline Inzel accused Michael Wide of rape and claimed he transmitted an STD in an August Facebook post. In a lawsuit he filed this week in Manhattan federal court, he is seeking to have that post removed from the internet.
Inzel argues that “a social media campaign has been run to damage Weide’s reputation” and notes that “employers reached out to us to retract job offers.”
Weide, who assumes the role of “Mayor Walter Birchum,” is suing Inzel (24) for $1 million, contending that she is “lying about their relationship” and has been disseminating false slander.
In a Facebook statement, Inzel, who portrays “Mushroom Rosie,” described having “consensual financial arrangements” with Weide, alleging he took her medication one night.
Inzel, a New Jersey resident, expressed, “You have destroyed me overnight. You hurt me, my family, and everyone around us.”
Weide argues that all their sexual encounters were consensual and involved factors like marijuana, alcohol, and various “roleplays.” He asserts that he has never had sexually transmitted diseases and that no rape occurred, as claimed in his lawsuit.
It remains uncertain whether Inzel reported the alleged rape to the police.
Weide, who divides his time between New York and Connecticut, claims that Inzel was let go from the Connecticut Renaissance Festival after making her allegations public.
At Renaissance Fairs, participants immerse themselves in a historical atmosphere, engaging in activities and attire reminiscent of the UK Renaissance, often enjoying period-appropriate food like oversized turkey legs.
Weide’s lawyer declined to comment, and Inzel, when contacted by phone on Thursday, also refrained from discussing the lawsuit.
No representatives from the Connecticut Renaissance Fair have responded to requests for comment.
