SCANDAL TURNS PERSONAL: Mayor’s Son Reportedly Screams at Her After Alleged Drunken Night — Family Rift Goes Public

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.

Roberts now faces two charges of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
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.

She boarded a dream cruise — and never walked off alive.  Aboard the Carnival Horizon, 18-year-old Anna Kepner — a high school senior with plans to join the Navy — was found dead in her cabin. Authorities say she was strangled by her 16-year-old stepbrother in the middle of the night.  One family vacation. One locked cabin door. And a crime that shattered everything.  Now grief has turned into a courtroom battle over juvenile justice, while loved ones say Anna’s final moments were spent fighting for her life.  Who saw the warning signs? And how did a celebration at sea become a nightmare?
He set his own children on fire — and a nation is still grieving what happened next.  On February 19, 2020, in Brisbane, Hannah Clarke and her three young children — Aaliyah, Laianah, and Trey — were attacked in an act of unimaginable domestic violence by her estranged husband, Rowan Baxter.

Leaders called for urgent reform. Families demanded stronger action against coercive control.  But beyond the headlines was a mother described as loving, fierce, and determined to protect her babies at any cost.  Her story didn’t end that day. It ignited a movement.

Three dead. A gunman wearing an Iranian flag shirt. And now federal agents are asking if global conflict sparked local bloodshed.  The death toll in the Austin mass shooting has risen to three, after a third victim succumbed to injuries from the attack outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden.  Police say the suspect, Ndiaga Diagne, was fatally shot by officers. Sources reveal he was wearing clothing featuring the Iranian flag and religious phrases — just one day after U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran.  Now the Federal Bureau of Investigation is digging through digital evidence, background records, and thousands of hours of video to determine whether this was random violence — or something far more deliberate.  Three young lives lost. More than a dozen injured. And a motive that could carry international implications.  What investigators are uncovering next may change everything.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now involved, reviewing surveillance, background details, and possible motives — but officials say it’s too early to draw conclusions.

Savannah Guthrie just returned to her missing mother’s home — and the questions are only getting darker.  For the first time since 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished, Savannah Guthrie was seen back at the Tucson property, laying flowers beside a growing tribute that reads: “Let Nancy Come Home.”  Investigators say blood was found on the porch. The Federal Bureau of Investigation released footage of a masked man at her door the night she disappeared. Nearby cameras captured a dozen vehicles passing around that same time.  The Pima County Sheriff’s Department won’t say if any of those vehicles are connected — only that detectives are reviewing hundreds of hours of video.  Now the home has been returned to the family. “No Trespassing” signs are up.  So what really happened that night?
